We were joined by Sean Preston of Reality Blurs, who brought with him updates on the Blur's original three settings, RunePunk, Iron Dynasty, and Agents of Oblivion. In addition, we discussed what's new, including Mechagenesis, the soon-to-be-released Ravaged Earth, and the newly-announced Realms of Cthulhu!

We didn't get to talk about it on the show, but Sean recently rolled out a completely redesigned website, which includes a brand new forum. Go sign up for the new forum, here.

We were joined by Fantasy Flight Games' Senior RPG Developer, Ross Watson, to discuss Dark Heresy, the roleplaying game based on the Inquisition from Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 intellectual property.

Ross had a lot to say about Dark Heresy, his gaming and designing background, and cheesy, '80s movies.

Who's the master?! Find out in this exciting episode.

At RinCon '08, we were joined by Guest of Honor, John Wick. We discussed his new "big" game, Houses of the Blooded, along with many of the games he's designed in the past, such as Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, and, more recently, Wilderness of Mirrors. John also talks about what he's playing now and what he hates about roleplaying games.

Also, we inform folks about the rest of the year's shows and our upcoming, much shorter than last year, hiatus. Of course we give our thoughts on RinCon, itself, as well. Hint: Fun was had by all.

[UPDATE] Wilderness of Mirrors, John Wick's great espionage game, is now available on PDF at Indie Press Revolution. Check it out!

We are proud to be part of the announcement of Triple Ace Games' brand new fantasy setting, Hellfrost, an open setting for Savage Worlds. Dave, Rob, and Wiggy, the three big aces of Triple Ace, took the time to discuss the new setting with us in great depth.

Clint Black joins us for the first new Little Black Book segment in seven months (to the day). With the long wait, we decided to discuss the three most recent Savage Worlds print releases: Traveler's Tales for Solomon Kane, Coffin Rock for Deadlands, and the long-awaited space pulp plot-point setting, Slipstream. In addition, Clint makes a secret announcement.

After all that was said and done, we resolved who gets this month's TGTT Wild Die!

Effective immediately, we have opened a Cafe Press store, called Shop TGTT. At this store, you can purchase shirts, hats, and a canvas bag!

So if you've been interested in supporting us, this is the way to do it, barring a direct PayPal donation.

The sale of every shirt will go toward the upkeep and upgrade of the show.

Thanks in advance!

Our 42nd episode!

We talked to Rob Schwalb about the upcoming A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying from Green Ronin, based on the fantasy series of the same name by George R. R. Martin. If you're looking to play in the SIF sandbox, or if you're just looking for great rules to run a medieval game, you should definitely check this show out!

And stick around for the end of the show, as we give you another way to win a TGTT Wild Die. Don't forget to bring your towel!

This show brings our interview of Rob Elliot, Production Director of Triple Ace Games, one of the newest Savage Worlds Licensees. We discussed what they've done and where they're going. If you want information about Daring Tales, Necropolis 2350, or Sundered Skies, this is the place to listen.

Before the interview, we review Say Anything, a new party game from North Star Games, the makers of the award-winning Wits & Wagers. Here's a hint: we liked it!

Finally, we hold the first contest of the year, with a chance to win one of the new TGTT Wild Dice!

We interviewed Jamie Gooch, Stephen Herron, and Matt Somers, of Greymalkin Designs, about their new post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG, Desolation. Desolation uses Ubiquity, the roleplaying system behind Exile Games' Hollow Earth Expedition, and employs a brand new free-form magic system.
