As the celebration at Merzel’s Fall reaches its fiery culmination, dozens of zombies come lurching into the firelight towards the townsfolk, their moans rending the air. As panic ensues, it is up to the new heroes in town to protect the terrified locals and survive the feast of flesh until dawn.

In this episode, we’re featuring Darrin Drader’s Reign of Discordia. Are you a fan of 70s sci-fi, shows like Battlestar Gallactica, Star Trek, et al? If you’ve been looking for a setting in which to set your space-pop campaign, Darrin Drader may just have the answer for you. Reign of Discordia features a fallen gallactic empire, marrauding aliens, espionage, smuggling, and more. The setting in detailed enough to provide plenty of plot hooks, and broad enough to support multiple story types and styles of play.

Greg Hancock joined us to talk about Prophecy, the “real fantasy” roleplaying game from Relentless Publishing. The first thing we noticed about Prophecy? It’s a box set - a heavy one, with a robust map set and dozens of GM aids. The production values are incredible! But this isn’t just a pretty box, with pretty paper on the inside. Prophecy has a lot of great elements to recommend it, including flexible rules and a skill-based system for character advancement.
