Friday Nov 27, 2015

Chris and Sam (Darker Days Radio) are joined by David (Twisted Tales) to explore the weird and horror filled worlds of White Wolf/Onyx Path/Paradox Interactive.

Think of this episode as a "get to know us", and that future episodes will take on a more focused structure.

Real Talk Time: We discuss the ongoing changes to Beast: the Primordial this episode. It's a controversial topic that we attempt to discuss in a balanced manner, but due to time limitations on this already monstrous episode we are unable to cover every aspect of the debate. We encourage listeners to check out the updated Beast material HERE to draw their own conclusions.

Mike presents some of the sample signature characters from Hunter: Wayward, followed by Chris's secret frequency on the Spaceship Graveyard. Matt leads a discussion of the new Werewolf: the Forsaken Second Edition and then all three contribute to a discussion of the controversial new game Beast: the Primordial, now on kickstarter.
