Episode 621: Also I Would Like to Own Smaland

Podcast – Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff

In the Gaming Hut beloved backer Ryan McClelland argues that the Sailor is a fine Occupation that ought to be in Trail of Cthulhu 2nd Edition (now on Backerkit) and urges us to rebut him by listing even more such Occupations.

With the 1930s still in mind, the Crime Blotter pulls the dossier on the Barker-Karpis bank robbery and kidnapping gang.

Ripped from the Headlines covers a recent incident of rogue mountain sheep cloning in Montana.

Finally, in Ken’s Time Machine, our hero ponders intervention in the Kalmar Crusade.
