System Mastery 185 – Teens In Space
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/system-mastery-185-teens-in-space.mp3
Ween or Treatween! Wait, what? This game is new! How the heck did that happen? Well, Jef’s supply of alien books isn’t low, but neither of us wanted to read something in Phoenix Command style rules and end the season mad, so we called an audible. Ever wonder what we think about much more modern game design? Well, this teen-focused sci-fi adventure is a great place to come find out!

Rifts World Book 3: England – System Mastery 183
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/system-mastery-183-rifts-world-book-3-england-1.mp3
Ooh look, a supplement! People love it when we do the supplements, right? We sort of needed a break for a bit while Jef navigates some medical shenanigans, so we tried to keep it light. And failed, this episode is huge. Oh well! More millennium trees for the rest of you!

Itras By – System Mastery 182
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/system-mastery-182-itras-by.mp3[/audio]
Check out this wild game! No, literally, go check it out! This is a wild read of improv-driven story focused diceless gaming set in a surrealism-infused Norwegian dream city in the 1920s. It’s neat! Come on by for a rare System Mastery win.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying 1st Edition – System Mastery 181
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/system-mastery-181-warhammer-fantasy-roleplaying-1st-edition.mp3
Small but vicious dog, right? You remember that? It’s that joke that’s in here? Anyhow hi there, how ya doin’? Wanna talk about a 1989 game that seems like it mysteriously sat unread on a shelf since 1977? WHFRP 1st edition can do that!

https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/things-we-hate-about-dd-part-2.mp3
Hey whoops this was only ever free on our Patreon. Should be here too. Now it is. Hooray! The balance is complete and finally I can diminish, and go into the West.

Robotech – System Mastery 180
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/system-mastery-180-robotech.mp3
Yeah, we needed a break again. Jesus, Wraeththu. So for now, let’s dive into dependable old Palladium. Two scoops of whoops in every book! Robotech is one of the early Palladium license titles, which is always a source of hilarious conflict and tone problems in every try, and here we find it, surprisingly fast. For an 80 page book.

Wraeththu: From Enchantment to Fulfillment – System Mastery 179
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/system-mastery-179-wraeththu-from-enchantment-to-fulfillment.mp3
Okay, guess break time’s over! This book is enormous, weird, and in a lot of ways, misguided. The world has collapsed, humanity has fallen, and the Wraeththu have risen in their place. And what are the Wraeththu? Androgynous hermaphroditic semi-vampiric aruna-having yaoi people, duh.

The Land of Ogg – System Mastery 178
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/system-mastery-178-the-land-of-ogg.mp3
We needed a break to finish our second book, and when you live in a gig economy that just means doing a smaller job that week! The Land of Ogg started around 1993 and is a game about dumb cavemen failing at everything. Here is an obligatory joke about the current federal government. Please enjoy.
