We're back! We've rested our bodies and minds and healed any alligator inflicted injuries, so it's time for Til Dice Do Us Part to resume! Our first episode back is also our Halloween special, and we start proceedings with a bloodcurdlingly brilliant Elevator Pitch. The game we are talking about this time is Spooktacular by Yaruki Zero Games, a retro-clone that recreates the long out-of-print Ghostbusters RPG. Ailsa and George will give you a guide to this rules package which gets the mechanics of this game in your hand for a reasonable sum, just as soon as they can get the television to work...
After that we've got a Quiz themed around the most horrifying films of 1980s UK culture - the Video Nasties, a list of films which were apparently so shocking that they were banned from distribution on VHS for a time. The tabloids loved shrieking about them and their lurid titles - but are they really any worse than those of RPG books? Ailsa has to determine that very question as George gives her a list of ten titles, some of which are Video Nasties and some of which are official RPG products. How many can you identify? How many will bamboozle Ailsa? How many will offend the Mailer Daemon?
Along the way we will very much slip into old habits as our episode also includes such discussion topics as: what was the first RPG officially translated from Japanese to English; what George has Ailsa saved as on his phone; a controversial opinion on rarely appreciated Rocky Horror sequel Shock Treatment; and what George thinks the biggest crime of James Raggi is. On top of that our TOTALLY REAL episode sponsor this week is here to tell you why that British schoolboy with the forehead scar is Totes Suspish.
