This one is definitely a ramble. I almost did not release this, but then I thought about my one fan with all of her multiple personalities, waiting in agony without any new Dead Games Society lessons... so here it is. This is a bit of a discussion of playing and enjoying D&D, or even "5e," without worrying too much about what WOTC (Hasbro) may or may not do. Check out Empire of the Cyclops Con, online convention 5-7 November, at https://tabletop.events/conventions/empire-of-the-cyclops-con. I still have spots open for my Saturday 6 Nov 8 pm US east coast time DCC game "Frost Fang Expedition" MUSIC: Mr. Smith - "Insomnia" Available at https://freemusicarchive.org/music/mr-smith/nomad/insomnia

It's been 25 years since Mark Rein-Hagen's now classic, Vampire: The Masquerade revealed to us a whole World of Darkness just beyond the light of day.  An imperfect and horrifying reflection of our own world where the dead stalked the night.  Since then fans have thrilled to the idea of letting their own Beast run wild in the shadows using what may be White Wolf's greatest contribution to the gaming world.  And to help the DGS understand this world of darkness Nathan Siever and Robert Batton, the hosts of the amazing new podcast "25 Years of Vampire: The Masquerade - A Retrospective" have agreed to come onto the Dead Games Society podcast and reveal the secrets of the elder kindred.  So grab your kine and sit back as we pierce The Masquerade.  What is rumor and what is fact?  Well only the Antediluvians know for sure.

On this episode of the Dead Games Society podcast we bring on our good friend, Cory Gahsman, aka DM-Cojo, to talk all about one of TSR's classics, Star Frontiers!

Few game designers can claim such a prolific body of work as David "Zeb" Cook!  His many projects include such iconic TSR modules as, Slavepits of the Undercity, Dwellers of the Forbidden Kingdom, The Isle of Dread and The Veiled Society.  His work on game systems boasts the Expert Set which he created alongside Tom Moldvay, Oriental Adventures and the acclaimed Planescape system.  And he took gamers into the farthest reaches of space with the classic scifi game, Star Frontiers. Now Zeb sits down with the Dead Games Society to talk about many of these projects in what is one of our best episodes yet.  So grab a drink, find your comfy chair and have a listen as Zeb takes us through these and many more projects from his career!

It's episode #25 of the Dead Games Society featuring the esteemed TSR alumni, Bruce Heard!  Bruce talks to the DGS about the genesis of one of gaming's most beloved of settings, the magical lands of Mystara.  And if that were not enough, he also talks about his newest project for the World of Calidar.  So grab a drink, find a comfy chair and sit back to listen in as Bruce reveals the secrets previously known only to the crew of the Princess Ark!

  The Dead Games Society sits down with actor, writer and comedian Pat Kilbane, perhaps best known for his time as a cast member on MadTV, as well as his appearance on Seinfeld in the role of Bizarro Kramer, but Pat is also a longtime gamer who is currently putting together a detailed collection of professionally done video interviews with many of TSR's founding fathers in an effort to chronicle their stories in a lasting fashion.   And in this episode I get to discuss his ambitious documentarian project, as well as discuss his own history in tabletop gaming.  

The Dead Games Society talks with Jeffrey Talanian, creator of Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers, about his favorite dead edition of Dungeons and Drgaons, the legendary Holmes Edition!  It's a great hour of hearing Jeffrey's memory's regarding this great out-of-print edition so beloved by the gaming community.
