Our good friends Ben (of the Vassal World Series Committee and Comic Belief) and Rob (of Game Store Dropouts) join Roman to talk about how TOs think about rules questions--including a special brain-twisting case study the Vassal World Series Committee recently had to rule on in their shadowy lair--along with a TO's role in the community, and resurrect a meme that keeps fresh no matter how long its buried.

Doug feels slightly betrayed by his compatriot ginger hosts and has decided to right a grievous wrong. Here's the first and maybe only format where Doug goes mildly insane answering Friday Night Faux-Down questions that were rightfully his to answer. More specifically, Doug drags Victoria, Jeff, and and unrepentant Roman back through the topics of the last FNFD and they give their answers to the topics. Like usual, Doug breaks the rules. Enjoy the pineapple rant.   Please donate to our Patreon!  JOIN OUR DISCORD

The return of Friday Night Faux Down! Rob joins the Ginger Trifecta as Doug and Victoria take a well-deserved break and foolishly trust us to handle things in the meantime.

Don't be late for class! Scoundrel school is back in session with the most class we'll ever have (ba-dum tiss), course 101: Introduction to Steam Powered Comedy. We'd gotten some feedback that our in-jokes were hard to appreciate for new listeners, so this is a good jumping-on point for folks who'd like to better understand our scoundrel-y ways. Special thanks to Doug Bowman of https://www.topdougdesign.com/ for making a spiffy 3D-printable Treasure Pile for Bonanza Brawl, and a lot of other cool terrain. Take a look!

An episode so secret even Doug and Victoria don't know what's on it! The rest of the Scoundrels find themselves the...guests...of "adoring fans" as a big thank you for all Doug and Victoria do! We just hope the rest of the Scoundrels are alright...

Join Doug, Vic, Roman, Eli, Nate and Rob (of Game Store Dropouts fame) as we gift you with this early holiday present.   Topics: 1.
