System Mastery 6 – Ghostbusters RPG
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/systemmastery61.mp3
Is Slimer the Judas of the Ghostbusters franchise? We delve into the long-gone Ghostbusters RPG, and apparently hit our heads on the bottom. This RPG is tiny and weird and unfinished, but definitely worth a look. Enjoy!

https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/systemmastery42.mp3
This episode goes out to Dan, the only person we know of who ever played this game. We have to assume he hated it as much as we did. We’re discussing, Prime Directive, the Star Fleet Universe RPG. Come along and learn about everything from Toltec Space Lizards to Glowing Maori. Just be careful not to say Star Trek. No amount of this game is Star Trek.

Episode 3 – Tales From the Floating Vagabond
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/systemmastery3.mp3
This time around, we review Tales from the Floating Vagabond, from Avalon Hill. It’s a comedic sci-fi roleplaying game set the exact center of a cartoon universe. Shticks, poorly named skills, boring alien races, and space NAZIs abound! With such zany highlights as [a cat meows] and [I think one of us farts], we delve into finding out if this classic is worth the paper it’s printed on, and it is printed on surprisingly cheap paper.

Episode 2 – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/systemmastery2.mp3
Hey there Mr. Skippy! Not sure how you found your way to our little corner of the web, did you get lost while trying to find that hot new nightclub? Anyway, we have one of those things, a pod-thing, that you should check out. We get down on some awesome reviewage of this basically okay roleplaying game!
There, that was the best attempt we can make at recreating the roughly 300 pages of Buffy-style dialog we slaved over to bring you a hot fresh System Mastery. Enjoy!

Episode 1 – Heroes Unlimited
Aliens, Cyborgs, Mutants, and Stage Magicians share the pages of the 1998 classic “Heroes Unlimited.” We dive into the odd but oddly beautiful Palladium Games engine, discuss the plight of the mutant animal in a world that rejects them, and try to figure out how to destroy the invincible door in the first ever episode of System Mastery. Enjoy!
