Howdy, pardners! Tales of the Old West is an upcoming tabletop RPG from Effekt Publishing, and we were lucky enough to grab an interview with designers Dave Semark and Matthew Tyler-Jones of Effekt Publishing. Conversation on the game itself begins in earnest at (24:40)

The buffalo of conversation roams across topics such as the Mutant Year Zero Free Tabletop Licence (FTL), working for Free League, getting started as a writer for TTRPGS, their Effekt and Effekt AP podcasts, writing the wonderful Hope’s Last Day scenario for Alien: The Roleplaying Game, and winning a Gold ENNIE award for the Alien RPG sourcebook Building Better Worlds.

Dave and Matthew have come a long way from their days selling ‘zines for 80s Games Workshop RPGs and have successfully funded Tales of the Old West on Kickstarter.

We sat down with games designer Matthew Myslinski to discuss horror franchises, using genre tropes in your TTRPGs, getting your gaming table to try new games, heavy metal, and the wonderful MÖRK BORG Community.

In which we fall out over Fallout, rage about Rage, and lose the thread on Threads. Also featuring hipster zombie survival tips, shambling asthmatics, outdated political references, parental sponge warnings, Call of Duty: Duty Calls Modern Ops Warfare 7: Duty Calling, supporting your local supermarket giant and James Blunt, Saviour of the World! Check out Brian's article on Dirge: http://www.dirgemag.com/board-games-made-okay-dick-friends/

A whole episode spent pondering Mutant: Year Zero from Modiphius Press, a post-apocalyptic tabletop roleplaying game that, quite frankly, we love. Enjoy! And a special thanks to guitarguy1985 for air raid noise found on Freesound.

Good morrow! Hark ye, and hear our conflabulations upon The Witcher 3, Dragon Age, assorted fantasy authors, and sexy sexy dragons. Starring Sir Gaseous of Hotpoint, Mr Darcy, and a man who cannot count. Credit to sonsdebarcelona for 'group fighting' noise. The Witcher 3 season pass actually costs £19.99. Colin was wrong, join us in booing at him.

Hear ye! A discussion on Pathfinder, Dungeons and Dragons, Lords of Waterdeep, consequences in RPGs, sexy peasants, beardcraft, banning Monopoly, and diptheria. Colin has memory problems, Brian wishes he was an elf, and Aaron hates the very foundation upon which this episode was built. The git. Credit to abel_K for 'copper bell' sound used for last orders.

Today we talk about sneaky boardgames, Codenames, Resistance and Sheriff of Nottingham. Shhh, tell everybody.

Humorous discussion of subterfuge in roleplaying and video games. Covering Batman's crying-about-your-parents minigame, that time Colin killed our gaming group, demonic bargains, the X-Files, and how to effectively punch a monkey. Correction: psychic tests are conducted using Zener cards, not Reiner cards - apologies to Karl Zener! Thanks to jamesabdulrahman for 'Permission to panic?'

Trapped by a sinister madman, the Twits must podcast their way to freedom. Unfortunate, given that they couldn't fight their way out of a poorly-recycled paper bag during a particularly vicious downpour. Discussion of the tabletop RPG Call of Cthulhu, tension in horror games, inappropriate horror maze twisting, reverse screaming, and that most dreaded of childhood monsters: Pop Up Pirate. Thanks to DiscoveryME for Glitch & Static 01.

Have the Twits survived? Listen now to find out! Covering horrific video games of all stripes, and puns. A life-threateningly large number of puns... Thanks to esperri for Chainsaw noise.

We've found a small place of safety. Please listen to us tell our tales of whether Dark Souls was scarier than Bloodborne. We also discuss Betrayal at House on the Hill and Arkham Horror, hoping that one day a boardgame will make us as scared as we feel right now! Please tweet @Critical_Twits to sate our captor's desires. Thanks to midimagician for Fire Burning Loop noise. Thanks to DiscoveryME for Glitch & Static 01 noise. Thanks to Sea Fury for Monster noise.

*Warning* Spoilers for Risk Legacy from 56 minutes to 1 hour and 14 minutes.*Warning ends* Using technology that would make 1950's sci-fi authors run screaming, we talk about something the same decade would find old hat, boardgames. We discuss Arctic Scavengers, Twilight Imperium, Risk Legacy and Cosmic Encounter. Colin reveals himself as an evil time traveller, who still gets numbers wrong. We forgot to implant the shame gene into Aaron's clone replacement. Brian becomes obsessed with opening boxes. We also attempt photosynthesis noises and discover life is too short for Micheal Bay.

Part two of the science fiction special, where we talk tabletop RPGs: Star Wars and Paranoia. Critial Twits Top Tips appears to explain how to make combat fun and engaging in role playing sessions. We also discuss what happened to the Halo series and our feelings about Metal Gear Solid 5. We explore Colin's cruelty as dungeon master, feel the emotion humans call sadness at the discovery clone Aaron has never played science fiction based RPGs, while Brian ensures trolls are put in their place.

This week we break open the secrets of the Malifaux starter set. We marvel at Colin's ability to handle tiny things, revel in Brian's enthusiam and find out Aaron has learned to love again.

This week the Critical Twits discuss the Modiphius convention, Dragonmeet! We go gaga for Guild Ball, dig Devil's Run, expound upon X-Corp, admire the Amberden Affair, and ruminate on our next roleplay game (marvellous Mindjammer or lovely Laundry Files). Also, watch out for asthmatic dragons...

Was 2015 a good year for games? Is 2016 worth getting excited about? Will the Twits be able to cope with a doing this live? Will we ever learn to stop overusing rhetorical questions? Tweet us on @Critical_Twits with your favourite games of the last year, and what you're most looking forward to in 2016!

A new irregular segment where we dive in deeper then a lead-lined Jacques Cousteau and give you the comprehensive long view review of a recent game. This time: Fallout 4. We've wandered the waste, recycled a whole load of dirty ashtrays and searched in vain for a story to believe in, just for you. Enjoy!

Welcome to our first comedy special, combining tales from the wastes of Fallout 4 with our own Mutant Radio station and a good old-fashioned singalong at the end.

We run the rule over miniature skirmish/football game hybrid Guild Ball - is it a critical hit or miss? We discuss rules and models, do some chanting, sing a little song and Brian runs a bonus "Banter!" round that was meant to be ironic until he got way too into it. The shame, the shame, shame...

Join us as we introduce you to the tabletop roleplaying hobby! Everything you ever needed to get started, and a tonne of tips for those that already have. Plus, in true RPG fashion, we flesh out our meagre backstories for your amusement.

A live playthrough of the tabletop roleplaying game Fiasco from Bully Pulpit Games. We build our very own Wild West scenario and watch it all inevitably fall apart. Aaron bullies, Brian schemes, and Colin is surprisingly good at accents.

We left our intrepid anti-heroes in the midst of an explosion. Who will triumph in our blood-soaked Western of betrayal, bullets, and bad, bad bastards?

This week we Weigh and Measure Batman Arkham Knight and ask, does it make a suitable end for Rocksteady's Batman series? If you enjoy this podcast, please leave a like, subscribe, or check out our YouTube gaming channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBUQ1hqKCFruDCWQjTJzhAg

This week we discuss three of our favourite puzzle board games; Dimension, Dixit and Mysterium. Prepare for your minds to be blown (or at least gently caressed).

This week we invite our good friends Joe, James, and Rob to join us for the start of our Malifaux: Shifting Loyalties campaign. We're missing Colin but more than make up for it with a detailed explanation of Shifting Loyalties, tales of past campaigns, and a run-through of all the action from the first round of the campaign.

Join us for a podcast run-down of the most disappointing moments in gaming. Featuring sadness, upset, and swearing.
