Episodes

  • System Mastery 9 – Legend of the Five Rings

    17/12/2013 Duration: 01h06min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/systemmastery9.mp3 Guest host Brian joins us to discuss Legend of the Five Rings, a game of swords, sorcery, swords, etiquette, and swords.  It’s one of those katana things.  We dig into the vast array of clans and the tiny array of classes that make up this surprisingly good Asian-themed RPG.

  • System Mastery 8 – Skyrealms of Jorune

    20/11/2013 Duration: 01h01min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/systemmastery81.mp3 We dug pretty deep to find this game, a sci-fi/fantasy far-future romp on a distant planet where all the magic is colored orbs and there are three different sizes of humans!  Come with us as we grapple to understand the deepest reserve in history of sci-fi fantasy names, dig into a graph-derived combat system that we still don’t quite get, and for some reason spend a lot of time talking about breakfast cereal mascots.  We understand the writer of this game is a fantastic guy, so apologies to him in advance!

  • System Mastery 7 – Everquest D20

    08/11/2013 Duration: 59min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/systemmastery7.mp3 We’re joined for the first time by a guest host, our good friend Russ, as we discuss Everquest D20, an unholy confluence of 3rd edition open-source D20 gaming and the first modern MMO.  Is that a tank mechanic we found?  And just exactly how much can we digress to talk about Everquest before it’s just an MMO podcast?  We seek those answers here.

  • System Mastery 6 – Ghostbusters RPG

    24/10/2013 Duration: 54min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/systemmastery61.mp3 Is Slimer the Judas of the Ghostbusters franchise?  We delve into the long-gone Ghostbusters RPG, and apparently hit our heads on the bottom.  This RPG is tiny and weird and unfinished, but definitely worth a look.  Enjoy!

  • Episode 5 – Orpheus

    08/10/2013 Duration: 02h03min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/systemmastery5.mp3 The mild, heartwarming scares continue with our first Horrortoberfest podcast of October!  Orpheus is a weird, weird outlier from the Old World of Darkness family.  Get some friends together to play as sexy secret agent ghosts or the world’s worst bicycle messengers.

  • Episode 4 – Prime Directive: The Star Fleet Universe RPG

    24/09/2013 Duration: 01h01min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/systemmastery42.mp3 This episode goes out to Dan, the only person we know of who ever played this game.  We have to assume he hated it as much as we did.  We’re discussing, Prime Directive, the Star Fleet Universe RPG.  Come along and learn about everything from Toltec Space Lizards to Glowing Maori.  Just be careful not to say Star Trek.  No amount of this game is Star Trek.

  • Episode 3 – Tales From the Floating Vagabond

    13/09/2013 Duration: 01h01min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/systemmastery3.mp3 This time around, we review Tales from the Floating Vagabond, from Avalon Hill.  It’s a comedic sci-fi roleplaying game set the exact center of a cartoon universe.  Shticks, poorly named skills, boring alien races, and space NAZIs abound!  With such zany highlights as [a cat meows] and [I think one of us farts], we delve into finding out if this classic is worth the paper it’s printed on, and it is printed on surprisingly cheap paper.

  • Episode 2 – Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    28/08/2013 Duration: 57min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/systemmastery2.mp3 Hey there Mr. Skippy!  Not sure how you found your way to our little corner of the web, did you get lost while trying to find that hot new nightclub?  Anyway, we have one of those things, a pod-thing, that you should check out.  We get down on some awesome reviewage of this basically okay roleplaying game! There, that was the best attempt we can make at recreating the roughly 300 pages of Buffy-style dialog we slaved over to bring you a hot fresh System Mastery.  Enjoy!

  • Episode 1 – Heroes Unlimited

    09/08/2013 Duration: 53min

    https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/systemmastery1.mp3 Episode 1 – Heroes Unlimited Aliens, Cyborgs, Mutants, and Stage Magicians share the pages of the 1998 classic “Heroes Unlimited.”  We dive into the odd but oddly beautiful Palladium Games engine, discuss the plight of the mutant animal in a world that rejects them, and try to figure out how to destroy the invincible door in the first ever episode of System Mastery.  Enjoy!
