Bikers Dice and Bars #063: Pizza in Portland

In this episode we talk (and argue) about pizza. Apparently some guys from some place or something wrote some ridiculously expensive snobbish books about the best pizza in the country, and apparently they say Portland wins. As if! Anyway, if you want to listen to us argue about pizza and lament the loss of one of the best places in town, this one’s for you.

The Glitterbois #0068: Other 90s RPGs that Inspired Us

Palladium’s role-playing games have always been – and probably will always still be – our biggest RPG loves. But at the same time we were really getting into them, there were a number of other 1990s-era RPGs which had a huge impact on our imaginations. In this episode, we’re taking an aside to talk about the biggest of those other games that also helped shape us into the tabletoppers that we are today.
