In this episode, we go all the way back to the show's roots with the game that started it all: SSI's Pool of Radiance. Unsurpassed even twenty-five years later, POR was the game that made me into a CRPG fan for life. Joel and I chat about the game's development and how they managed to convince TSR that SSI was the best fit for AD&D. We also chat about Dark Sun's disappointing release before wrapping up with a discussion of Panzer General, a last-minute labor of love that saved the company from a premature demise.

If you like the show, consider donating a few bucks to keep it in production. A dollar per week might sound like nothing to you, but it adds up!

I suggest ponying up for the boxed copy edition. Agustin is a Box Collector and knows all about the art of packaging. He's assured me that the box and feelies for Asylum will be amazing.
