In this episode Chris, Jim and Kat join me (Dave) in exploring the RPGs that best exemplify the very best in Magic systems and Initiative mechanics. We look at everything from Golden Heroes (Squadron UK) to Troika and even debate the merits of Wargames and Diagetics. No I don't know either!
Please find a link to the RP Haven who do sterling work and whom Kat represents: https://www.rphaven.co.uk/ Please do support them if you can or maybe make it to the club when time and lockdowns permit!
Also please find the Grognard Files Podcast - the Rolls Royce of pods! https://thegrognardfiles.com/ They run a Patreon scheme too, which is worth every penny!
Important to note that our music is Provided under an open license from the Freak Fandango Orchestra "The Gypsy Song" from the album "Wild Goats and Useless Heroes" which I thought peculiarly apt! Thank you to them.
