My players rose to the occasion of course, by sinking to the level of the very worst examples of criminal scummery – you know, shivving fellow prisoners, attacking guards and formenting riots.īuying ‘Mayday’ in the forlorn hope that I’d be better able to run space-combat, only for my maths and vector calculations averse brain to be sent whimpering into the relative safety of a New Dark Age….įeeling delighted as a Call of Cthulhu Keeper when one of my players reported nightmares the next morning after our first session – and feeling equally chuffed when a player’s character decided to blow his own brains out rather than be chewed upon by a shoggoth in a later game. Running a particularly nasty mini-campaign for ‘Traveller’ using the ‘Prison Planet’ Adventure. Other random thoughts / musings / memories brought on by the podcast. So I’ve decided to be magnanimous, taking all your previous good works into account, and will hold off on unleashing a Balrog on you both for what was plainly an instance of just plain old crazy talk…. However, listening on, you just about redeemed yourselves with references to Hawkwind (I was never quite a fervent fan, but enough of my gaming companions of yesteryere were for that to trigger quite a few memories, not all of them traumatic) and to Mike Oldfield’s ‘Incantations’ which we all seemed to be listening to at one stage ‘back then’ as well.

What can I say ? Just as we were all getting along so well, what with me nodding along fervently in recognition for just about all of your RQ, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu and AD&D chat……… imagine my dismay – what with Middle Earth being my gateway drug to fantasy, rpgs etc – to hear such calumnies as ‘a bit boring’ and ‘not my cup of tea’ used in conjunction with a discussion about ‘Lord of the Rings’. So have now listened to all episodes to date…….finishing with the Stormbringer eps last as though it was a game I did play once or twice, it was by a fair distance the least played out of all the other games covered.
