I swear they are listening to us?
Who is “They”?
You now, “Them”!
On Season 3 Episode 16 of You Heard It Here Last, Christina and I talked about the fact that somebody at EN World really loved Deathstalker.
I just found out that by the time you hear this episode Deathstalker will once again be in movie theaters. That’s right they are remaking the campy Conan rip-off, and it looks like they are doing it the proper way…with another “B” Movie version.
But that’s not what this one is about. In our episode I said that if we were going to have a Roger Corman TTRPG it should have been Death Race 2000 and look what EN World did. They have written another 2 part piece about Death Race 2000 as a TTRPG.
Mike, I know you are not a big “B” Movie fan like Christina and I, but I can’t help but feel like we are starting to see some throwback themes in roll playing to the 80’s and even 70’s. The 80’s makes sense with Stranger Things, but what’s your take on roleplaying games starting to mine our childhoods for inspiration?

Since I’ve got Mike here, we might as well dive into his favorite genre.
Cyberpunk Legends: Into the Night is a solo or cooperative card game set in the world of R. Talsorian’s Cyberpunk. It’s an officially licensed game and just premiered on Kickstarter…and it blew past it’s funding goal in 19 minutes.

At the time of recording this it is at 3 quarters of a million dollars and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down much.
Mike, why do you think Cyberpunk in general is so popular and is this just an example of a game riding the coattails of other games or is it something else?
[Kick to Mike]
And there you have it…all the news, you’ve already heard.
