The new year is well and truly underway now, so it's time for Til Dice Do Us Part to resume new episodes. First up it's an Elevator Pitch in which we discuss one of the most gothic of games: Vampire the Requiem, the 21st century reboot by White Wolf of their Vampire RPG. We hope to help you decide whether this is for you by discussing our experiences reading and playing this game, and along the way, we name check almost every Vampire movie we can think of, talk about our angsty teenage years, and try to find yet more D10s for our dice pool..
After that we get an Ask A GM letter in - one in which we have been asked about trying to change game system in the middle of a campaign. Our letter writer wants to change to a newer version of the same system they are using and the players are very much not up for it. This is something George and Ailsa have experienced in their own gaming history, so we've got plenty of thoughts on this topic - including why new editions happen, the merits of small vs large edition changes, and a surprising tangent on Disney movies that is at least.... partially relevant?
Along with all this there's the usual mixture of weirdness. Broken photocopiers, musical numbers, cast tension, Skittles sandwiches, "whiff factors" and comparisons between RPG books and online recipes. There's even the return of Shoved Granny Games with another Kickstarter they want to advertise to you - one that will take your wargaming to New Horizons.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
