The Vintage RPG Podcast

Troooooooooll! 
This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out Trollpak, Chaosium's boxset that explores the nature of RuneQuest's trolls. It's a thoughtful approach to a "monstrous" species that sharply contrasts with most games of the period, and a lot of games now, even.
Plus: An update on Spellbinders!

Of stock lists and ancient history. 
This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we explore Castle Thrax and the Spellbinders' treasure. That is, Spellbinders Games, a shop in Akron that published Castle Thrax, also had a lot of interesting titles in their stock list that don't seem to exist. Or do they? We'd like to know!

Exploring a country still all mystery. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we venture to Mythic Britain & Ireland, a Vaesen sourcebook by Graeme Davis. A labor of love, the book presents all you need to run a game of Vaesen in the British Isles, including scenarios, monsters and mystery seeds. But in addition to being an RPG book, it also works as an introduction to the landscape of folklore that's so unique to Britain and Ireland. Fantastic stuff, and gorgeous illustrations to boot.

If the lights go out, you're dead. 
This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out Shadowdark, a recent hack that brings the old school feel to 5E. Pack extra torches! [I think it was Epidiah Ravachol who I saw recently saying "D&D and its shadows]
