Join Stephen Clements as he interviews legendary game designer and ladies' man, Mr. Allen Hammack! An incredibly influential writer and editor in the early days of TSR, he is best known for the tournament module "The Ghost Tower of Inverness", espionage game classic "Top Secret", and more. Plenty of others have grilled him about Ghost Tower, so we cover all new ground by discussing how he got his amorous reputation, his fondest memories of the RPG industry, his world travels, and he completely fails the Favorite Movie (But No More Than 3) question. I can't wait to pick his brain more in the future, and you will have a great time. Find Allen on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/allen.hammack.37 Here's a good written interview with Allen: https://adventuresingaming2.blogspot.com/2016/11/q-with-game-designer-allen-hammack.html?m=1 Here is another interview for your consideration: https://www.youtube.com/live/dOfAolByRxE?si=IkoiTOYtJx6O1BdN Buy him beer from Fairhope Brewing, believe me, he'll drink it: https://www.fairhopebrewing.com/ Find Stephen on social media by checking out the Langhorne Creative Group links below: https://twitter.com/LanghorneCG https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067689330134 https://www.instagram.com/langhornecreativegroup/ and his personal FB page (but only if you like spicy) at https://www.facebook.com/stephen.clements.58/ Thanks for watching, and I'd love to hear from you.

It was a clear December day and I needed the exercise, so I walked Edgar to the beach!

Brace yourself for the scandalous revelations of the forbidden romance from Part 1! Vixen: The Untold Story is a titillating story of reindeer romance and is THE story that finally reveals the ultimate mystery surrounding Santa Claus and his reindeer, namely, why only ONE reindeer has a girl's name. Under the pen name Hugh Betcha, this is Chris Clark's tribute to every Harlequin, Silhouette, or other love story ever written. This is a wild ride, but don't worry, it's not bad by modern standards at all, which may say more about modern standards than anything else.

Godzilla Minus One is leaving audiences all over the world in awe and for good reason. Toho Studios created a film the represents the kind of movie we deserve, and Hollywood should take note. See the trailer at: https://rumble.com/v3z6d8y-godzilla-minus-one-final-trailer-2023.html

The Night of the Ettercap is a short story by Stephen Clements and featured in his collection, "Memphis Dirty: Tales From The Dirty South".

Stephen reviews the Old School Dungeons & Dragons systems compatible adventure module, Pirates of the Airdish Main. Game designer Joseph Bloch (known on YouTube as Greyhawk Grognard) wrote a very much needed sea adventure module that runs you through the gamut of harrowing and typical experiences that go with life on the water. I loved it and want to use it. After my thoughts on the adventure, the writer joins us for a short interview where we talk about the adventure and what inspired him to come up with P1 Pirates of the Airdish Main.

Part 2 of the instant classic from Marinos Anagnostopoulos' upcoming short story collection, The Monastery of Or, is a bloody thriller rife with tension.

Join Stephen Clements as he interviews Mr. David Hubbard about his work as an independent game designer, an avid World of Darkness aficionado, and the INCREDIBLE game of Blade Runner we met at. We had a blast talking about the Vampire game, other WoD games like Mage, Werewolf, Wraith, and more, Call of Cthulhu, RPG war stories, and of course movie talk.

Join me for a review of the Vampire: the Dark Ages adventure module, Fountains of Bright Crimson. Game designer Ree Soesbee wrote a friggin' mess of an adventure full of rail-roading, brow-beating the storyteller and players, and complete nonsense, but still captured some awesome Vampire lore and amazing flavor text. We go on a deep dive through the adventure, make fun of its problems, and look at ways to fix it. It's a longer video, but you will be entertained.

Going Home is a short story by Stephen Clements and originally published in 2017. A Lovecraftian, cosmic horror tale riddled with occult and esoteric Christian ideas, Going Home is the tale of an academic going into the field to prove themselves right no matter the cost and the horrific surprise they find. A longer story, I broke it into 3 parts. To get a digital copy of Going Home, send me an email at stephen.clements@hotmail.com.

Written like a tightly paced thriller instead of a standard fantasy novel, this Lord of the Necropolis is good stuff. It's interesting to see such a powerful lich and dark lord as Azalin trapped and tormented by so many unknowns. Check it out.

Stephen reviews the Old School Dungeons & Dragons systems compatible adventure module, Musicland. Game designer Joseph Bloch (known on YouTube as Greyhawk Grognard) wrote a fascinating, challenging, and deeply weird exploration module that takes the party to the demiplane of Musicland, the dimension from whence all music flows into the multiverse. It's right up my alley, and no, Joseph said he was not on drugs when he wrote it. After my thoughts on the adventure, the writer joins us for a short interview where we talk about the adventure and what inspired him to come up with such a different and awesome module.
