Roll to Save
Three middle-aged nerds dive deep into the golden age of tabletop RPGs, covering the classics from the 80s and 90s that shaped the hobby we love today. Iain and Jason banter their way through gaming history while Steve desperately tries to keep them on topic—and occasionally succeeds.
Whether you're a grognard who lived through THAC0 or a newcomer curious about what to do with all those lovely polyhederal dice you've aquired, we've got you covered with historical deep-dives, roundtable discussions fueled by questionable nostalgia, and actual play episodes where our players' competence is... variable.
All of this released on a schedule that can charitably be called "flexible" at best.
Grab some dice and join us for a trip down memory lane—just don't ask us to commit to when the next episode will drop.

Star Wars - Roundtable
This episode we don our rose-tinted glasses and have a long, nostalgic chat about the space opera game to end all space opera games, Star Wars. The movies have been around for over forty years, and the West End games version of the RPG hit the shelves over thirty years ago. Crazily, it was this game, more than anything else, that shaped the Star Wars universe we know today. We also take the time to talk about the non-West End Star Wars RPGs out there.
As a special guest, we have Wesley Williams, who talks about his involvement in the RPG hobby, and his experiences with Star Wars.
This is part two of our Star Wars episode - part one features a history of the game and the impact it had on the Star Wars scene.
