About this listen

Each episode of our podcast compares D&D with another RPG. Our goal is not to criticize but to objectively evaluate each game's strengths and weaknesses. We believe in the power of informed decisions, so we leave the final judgment to the listener. Our discussions will cover character creation, basic mechanics, combat, complexity, setting, and campaign longevity. Hosted by Roleplaying game creator Mickey Barfield (The Polyhedral Knights), creator of Spy, Pathogen Unclassified, Wicked Pacts, Dark Times, Pirates of a Shattered World, Wasteland Sagas and Renegade City.
