Episode 42 – Greaser Ghouls from Outer Space
Running Time – 01:16:06

In this very special episode, we write an entire goddamn game in an hour. Well, more like brainstorm an entire goddamn game. Whatever.

We also discuss what game our group’s planning on playing next, with some interesting discussion to go along with that.

Finally, a couple of reminders. GO Con is filled up, but come by if you want to try and get into a game. It’s at Endgame, in case we haven’t mentioned it enough. Also, we still have TMD T-shirts for sale. If you’d like one, send an email to Randy. They’re $20, including shipping.
