This week, we get back into deep diving NON-D&D subjects by taking a look at three games that still have strong followings: Alternity, GammaWorld, and HeroQuest. We'll check out how they came to be, some of the interesting notes about their various editions, and, of course, how they work in practice.

Today I talk briefly about Alternity, the short-lived SciFi RPG that TSR released in 1998. This is one I have always wished had a longer life than it did. Still in the era of AD&D 2nd edition it might border that line where we question what is old school gaming or the OSR --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wobbliesandwizards/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wobbliesandwizards/support

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast begins episode 252 with speculation and discussion of the latest Transformers rumors which concern a possible expansion of the Generations Studio Series lineup to include characters from the 1986 Transformers movie instead of just those from the Michael Bay universe of live action Transformers films. After that, Movie discussions continue as the latest upcoming entry into the Movie Masterpiece series has been officially revealed in the form of MPM-11 Ratchet. Generations toys tied in with the still upcoming Netflix animated series have become easier to find for collectors as of late, so the cast takes time to reflect on the first wave of output for these Walmart exclusive offerings. Two listener questions come up next, starting with an impromptu look at the Transformers: Alternity line of robots in disguise that convert into 1:32 scale real life vehicles. The second question has the podcasters reflect on times when close friends influenced their collecting habits. Off the cuff remarks about "Holy Grails" in the hobby round out the talk before the episode concludes with the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment where the participants share their latest Transformers product acquisitions.

With the global pandemic of COVID-19, Ricky is sheltering in place and Mindy joins as guest host for this episode. Instead of reviewing Alternity, Justin and Mindy dive into some games and ways to play during self quarantine.  boardgamearena.com Yucata.de boiteajeux.net Looking to Hunt a Killer?

Gencon 2018 interview with designer, Richard Baker, for the modular sci-fi setting of Alternity.

It’s a new year. And that, of course, means we change everything. At least for a day or two. But, since this is already four days into the new year, we’ve already reverted to old habits. Which is just the way we like it. Santa, muppets, feedback, war games, and more all on the first episode of the new year.… Continue reading →

From design intent to the elements of good RPG IPs we cover enough ground for TWO shows. Your feedback about Alien Intelligence, different ‘punks’, and making faces carries us along on a merry discussion that leads us to a very serious realization.… Continue reading →

In what is the longest episode to date (and believe me, we didn’t mean it to be this long, but there you go) we discuss Xanathar and his guide. To everything. EVERYTHING. Being the expert that he is. Also, Scott saw a movie. And Brian likes some books.… Continue reading →

We’ve got friends in low places. Low magic places, at least. Or we would have if we could figure out how to run a low magic game. But that’s okay because, frankly, RAW D&D won’t let us do that anyway. Or would it? Stick around for your feedback and the terribleness that is GURPS.… Continue reading →
