SLA Industries - History
Roll to Save
01/30/21 • 43 min
This episode we take a look at SLA Industries; Nightfall's game of dystopian horror, set in the World of Progress. Fame and fortune are yours to be had, as long as you do what the company wants of you, and you smile for the cameras. Just don't ask too many questions or delve too deeply into secrets that are meant to stay buried. Guns kill, but so does the Truth.

This is part one of our SLA episode - part two will feature a round table discussion where we put on our rose-tinted glasses and talk about our favourite memories of the game.

Paranoia - History
Roll to Save
07/15/20 • 47 min
This episode we take a look at Paranoia; the roleplaying game that took all pre-conceived notions of what an RPG should be, and threw them out the window (probably whilst yelling "TREASON!" Dystopia, techno horror, deceit, betrayal and well...paranoia all rolled into one wonderful package. Oh, and did I mention it was genuinely funny to boot?
This is part one of our Paranoia episode - part two will feature a round table discussion where we put on our rose tinted glasses and talk about our favourite memories of the game. That, or the people that I've run games for will complain what a heartless monster I am. One of the two.

Greetings citizen!
Join Troubleshooter Task Force Epsilon 718 as they take on another fun, routine task for your friend and mine, The Computer. As with most Troubleshooter missions, this one will be perfectly safe for everyone concerned.
Having collected their equipment from the Production Logistics and Commissary warehouse, the team now have to make their way to the nearby food vat to carry out their mission. Pretty simple, right?
Well, for something as run-of-the-mill as "walking from a to b", Task Force Epsilon 718 manage to make it involve more nudity, syringes, text messages and singing than you'd think were necessary...
