ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery) on DOS PCs was a total D&D game, was very popular, and they keep releasing new versions that is the exact same game with updated graphics. I got it recently from GOG and it is still fun to play!

When the Lone Wolf game books came out in the 80s, there was also some religious "concern" about them. I noticed one of my books momentarily disappeared, so I'm assuming my parents took a look at it. They never said anything about it, so I guess they didn't find anything really wrong about it (typical good vs evil fantasy).

Actually, we've considered a number of guest stars. But ultimately it is a matter of getting them onboard. I figured we'd wait until the show was a little more well known, that way it would be easier to convince people to come onboard.

I started with this episode and wound up listening to all four over the long weekend. You all (unsurprisingly) have great chemistry and your shared history adds a nice dash of intimacy. I'm looking forward to seeing what other topics you all will cover in the future. I'm also curious to know if you're thinking about doing interviews with people involved in the history of gaming, tech, etc. Your "history of Texas tech" series was great and it seems like there could be a natural cross-section to explore there.
Good podcast.
