Armedmedic ,

Great conversational RPG Interviews

Very informative and wonderful guests. You take some very nice deep dives into the system and the history. Keep them coming if possible.

TigerWalt the Token Methodist ,

Informative and eye-opening

Enjoyed learning about these games straight from the source. Especially enjoyed the sci-fi episodes; I’m hoping to try one or more of those in the near future.

Marc Miller

Do you have the only podcast interview with Marc Miller? That was great to hear. His Traveller (original black box) was my intro to roleplaying over 40 years ago!

(I thought the music interludes were way too long, though)
