Episode 376: Landlord Reform
Pull up a comfy chair and get your fireballs back in the Gaming Hut as we look at the timing of resource refreshing.
In the Tradecraft Hut we peer into the espionage activities of William Playfair, now better known as the inventor of the pie chart, not to mention most of your other favorite charts.
Ask Ken and Robin features a request from beloved Patreon backer Lars to consider updates to Earthdawn.
Then Phil Masters, estimable Patreon backer who this time gets a whole question to himself, asks if our hero might want to use Ken’s Time Machine to extend the life and career of Gustavus Adolphus, the reform-minded Swedish king some consider the inventor of modern warfare.

Hopping vampires tried to stop it! Transformed animals conspired to block it! Evil eunuchs issued proclamations against it!

Import the excitement of the Hong Kong action cinema masters to your roleplaying table.
What’s worse—yet even more pulse-poundingly exciting—than being a burned spy on the run from an international vampire conspiracy? Going it alone, as you do in Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan’s brilliant adaptation of GUMSHOE One-2-One to the shadowy world of Night’s Black Agents: Solo Ops, from Pelgrane Press.
