The Future King
Remember the twist ending of the Arthurian romances when Bruce Lee appears at Camlann to kick Mordred's ass? Me neither. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out The Future King, a stand-alone adventure/system by Tom Moldvay. It spins somewhat out of his earlier bat-shit RPG Lords of Creation and sees the players trying to wake King Arthur from his slumber, because the hour of need is at hand. That isn't too crazy, but the pregens are. They include Bruce Lee, Cyrano and Nostradamus! * * * Instagram? Old news. Join the Vintage RPG Newsletter! That's where all the cool kids are now!

The Means of Production
Brian Colin becomes an ink-stained wretch. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Vast Grimm creator Brian Colin is back. He's got a new crowdfunding campaign for Vast Grimm in zine form, but he's got something even more exciting that we wanted to talk to him about: a printing press! * * * Instagram? Old news.

The Stars are Right!
The end was nigh! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we welcome the apocalypse(s) with The Stars are Right! (1992), an anthology of scenarios for Cthulhu Now (AKA Call of Cthulhu Modern). As these things go, its a solid set of cases, but the book has a surprising legacy of censorship and controversy over one of Blair Reynolds' fantastic illustrations. * * * Instagram? Old news.

Cults of RuneQuest
Blurring the line between mythology and roleplaying games. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we take a look at the first six (!) of ten (!!) volumes of Chaosium's Cults of RuneQuest series of sourcebooks. Taken together, they form an important foundation for bringing mythology to life in RuneQuest campaigns. Important stuff, since RQ is essentially a game about living mythology! * * * Instagram?

The S-Series Continues?
That is not dead which can eternal lie...wait, no, that's the wrong franchise. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Stu learns that there are more than four modules in D&D's S-series. After a brief recap of the originals, we chat about The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga and Labyrinth of Madness, which revived the line for one brief and brutal moment in 1995. * * * Instagram? Old news.
