Watch Out for Fireballs!

Watch Out for Fireballs! is a game club podcast, focused on retro and non-current games. Every week, we play a game in its entirety, then discuss its merits and flaws at length. Most episodes begin with a short sketch, and we're pretty liberal about keeping tangents in. But it ultimately comes down to: Why do we like (or dislike?) this game.

Episode 111: King of Dragon Pass


Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross gird their loins to battle King of Dragon Pass.

File this one under "Gem that should have gotten more attention." It's a strategy-game-meets-CYOA, but it's so much more. It's a tale of barbarians, but not in the way you'd expect. It's a fusion of narrative and systems on a level you don't really see. Do yourself a favor, listen to this episode as a beginner's guide, and buy King of Dragon Pass for your device of choice.
