10 Nov 2021278 Variety in RPGs is good00:32:20
Quick tribute to Peter Scolari who lost the fight with leukemia last month. AD&D 2E session recap. Karl questions whether it’s ok to discuss non-horror movies and whether ugly people should have good looking partners. Finally I answer Joe Richter’s concern about simple games & adaptability (potential trigger alert for an environmental sustainability comment I make).

Anchor published the wrong file for episode 24, if you haven't listened to episode 24 yet you want the 25 minute version NOT the 35 minute version. Sorry for the hassle.

Still on a western kick I talk about the underrated 1971 movie starring Burt Lancaster, the HBO series Deadwood, the criteria my son and I will be using to evaluate skirmish games, question the need for a new Elvis movie, the mail bag gets opened and Taylor gives us a receipt for a tasty treat.
