RPGFan's Retro Encounter

Happy Turkey Day from Retro Encounter! It was too challenging to devote an entire episode to the best RPG turkeys, so the discussion ended up being about RPG foods and feasts instead. The panelists break down their favorite cooking systems, foodie side quests, and the most delicious-looking meals in RPGs.Featuring: Michael Sollosi, Hilary Andreff, Keegan Lee, Tris MendozaGet in Touch: RPGFan.comEmail us: retro@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom

It's the most wonderful time of the year, which means Retro Encounter is getting its spook on. Host Marcos Gaspar assembles the crew to have a brief discussion on Japanese indie no-budget horror titles, followed by a playthrough of Mermaid Swamp. Four friends embark on a camping trip to the mountains, but a stalled engine sees them forced to spend the night at a kindly old gentleman's decrepit manor. What should've been a quick stop turns into a haunting mystery of mermaid folklore and brutal acts.Featuring: Marcos Gaspar, Greg Delmage, Robert FennerGet in Touch: RPGFan.comEmail us: retro@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom
