Hilarious, and actually (unintentionally?) educational
These guys are a pleasure to listen to. They're impressively dedicated to diving into awful games of the past, and they almost always come up with a few criticisms of the games that are insightful as well as funny. I've learned more about how systems can and should go together from listening to these guys parse out what exactly is wrong with old games than from over two decades of GMing in normal, not-too-terrible systems. You wouldn't think that knowing what went wrong in Haven: City of Violence, Vanishing Point, or Don't Look Back: Terror is Never Far Behind would help me create streamlined house rules to fix small problems in normal games, but it does.Read full review »

More reviews of System Mastery
System Mastery features reviews of (usually) defunct and (usually) terrible RPGs. The hosts, Jon and Jef, have great rapport and an even back and forth style that's both informative and hilariously funny. It's one of my current go-to podcasts for just something to listen to and laugh at.Read full review »

Jon and Jef have an encyclopedic knowledge of roleplaying games. They apply it to the "deep cuts" of RPGs -- old, neglected, out-of-print games that run the gamut from hilariously bad to surprisingly well-crafted. Foul-mouthed mockery and thoughtful commentary ensue.

This podcast makes me happy with its mix of humor, knowledge and RPG! Listening to the some of the terrible games I have played in the past really makes me love this podcast so much!
