Ed’s Pick: The Anubis Murders
Rone’s Rant: “The Modern Sneaker”
EMU LOVE VOLUME
Ho!
Emu love volume!
Race laser if flow erupts
I’m raft I’m muse–ew!
Rent rape us
Awash, crane dragon sits
But rat is bonked
I trap a spine
Man, tinker on!
Emu love volume!
Sit in it now
I won’t sulk cus
Stuck cab sleep
One man rusts
A last surname no!
Peels back cuts
Suck lust now
I won tinitis
Emu love volume!
No reknit name
Nips a part
I deknob sitar tubs
tis no garden arch
Saw a sue partner
Wee summit far
Mist pure wolf
Fire sale car
Emu love volume!
Oh!

I’m listening now, so maybe this is explained in the interview, but what would make this different or better than Savage Worlds or Barbarians of Lemuria?
Okay, you actually made me laugh out loud, Fraser, but I don’t know if we’re still aloud to LOL anymore. I think it really annoys some.
I do dearly hope you enjoy both books. And most judges don’t smile favorably on going bankrupt over RPG purchases so don’t you do it!
@Chris. I have never read or played either Savage Worlds or Barbarians of Lemuria, so I cannot really answer that question.
I picked up Shadow, Sword and Spell on Amazon after you talked about it on the show. It seems like a great game, and I’m looking forward to roping my friends into playing it in the near future. Thanks for the tip.







Thanks guys. Now I’ve bought both Shadow, Sword & Spell and the Anubis Murders. Are you guys trying to bankrupt me or something. Sheesh! ;)
