A time when blockbuster film franchises get their annual releases and children and parents alike are inspired to create cheap, knockoff tabletop RPGs of all their favourite fiction.

The year is 2021 and Great Britain is a wasteland. A year earlier, faced with the series’ first ever fall in ratings, Great British Bake Off star, Paul Hollywood, did the unthinkable. He set a technical challenge like none that came before – he asked his contestants to create life from bakery – to commit the terrible sin of Bakenomancy. Those contestants were successful. The destruction was swift. In this new post-apocalypse, titanic cronenberg-esque battenburgs and dread-breads roam the lands, mercilessly hunting what few survivors remain. You, however, are a knight of Hovis – last hope of the British Isles. Join us, bread knife in hand, and fight the good fight! Head to Table is Thom Rawson and Tom Snowden. Check us out on Twitter at @headtotable or at headtotable.com.

But, faced with the unedifying prospect of an hour-long podcast of uninterrupted snoring, they decide to set-about redesigning the nightly watch, common to so many RPGs.
