It was my introduction to the One Roll Engine and the source game for my first two books, Curriculum of Conspiracy and Road Trip. So in this episode, Tom and I discuss playing the game. It&#8217;s a great system but it has several quirks that take some getting used to such as role playing two characters at once. After we discuss playing, I go into a Skype roundtable with Matt Campen and Nathan Knapp from the <a href=\"http:\/\/drunkandugly.com\/\">Drunk and the Ugly podcast<\/a> over running Monsters and Other Childish Things.\u00a0 Plus a letter from Tom, shout outs and an anecdote!<\/p>\n<p>Shout Outs<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambarb.com\/?p=11\">American Barbarian<\/a>: Great post-apocalyptic webcomic with Jack Kirby-esque art<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0002DB5PO\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=rolplapubrad-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0002DB5PO\">Chopping Mall:<\/a> Robots kill people in a shopping mall.
