- - Description - - As promised, Stephen Smith of Purple Druid fame cordially joins me to talk shop and to tell us about the World of Weirth - his project based off of the Low Fantasy Gaming engine but adapted with AD&D and OD&D influences - and some of the mechanics and themes (like its changes to the magic system) that set it apart and lend it its intrigue.

Starship-sized titans orbit its skies, keeping a constant protective watch above and below.                                  Ancient Transformers merge into its very fabric. Small, mysterious creatures skulk in its shadows. It is a truly amazing realm, long untouched by war, and exuberantly reaching for the stars.
