In this episode we have Erik Tenkar and Bad Mike Badolato -the dynamic duo themselves- straight from the "Talking Crit" livestream among their other OSR contributions such as the Tavern blog, The North Texas RPG Con, RPG auctions, Swords and Wizardry Light, and many others.

It used Greg’s Sappers character class, which appeared in Freelance Traveller, September/October 2019: Character Generation Rules: Deep Space Rescue Corps: A Career for Classic and MegaTraveller. We wrap up with News of the Imperium, a new segment in which we discuss upcoming convention games and events relevant for Traveller, upcoming or recent product releases, and anything else that fits. This time it included...
