    • Games

In this episode, we examine The Dragon Magazine, Issues 4 and 5 looking get a peek at the early history of TTRPGs as MMORPGs with Loera and the first appearance of the Ankheg with great art by Erol Otus. The first half of this episode discusses the issue as an unfortunate introduction to Empire of the Petal Throne.

One video referenced in this episode is "The West Marches" by Matt Colville. Watch it here: youtu.be/oGAC-gBoX9k?si=rYH_urawl7fMG8fI

We also shout out Dyson Logos, who has a long-running game of EPT: https://dysonlogos.blog/2020/02/14/a-few-observations-after-175-sessions-of-empire-of-the-petal-throne/
