Save for Half podcastEpisode 45: GOZR Sci-Fantasy by Random Order CreationsWhen it comes to modern games inspired by the OSR, there is ’70s Gonzo, and there’s ’70s GONZO. Welcome to GOZR, the Sci-Fi/Fantasy RPG where characters called Gooz learn about a world reshaped by catastrophe and sorcerous science. Danger, exploration, excitement abound; as well as the answer to the age-old question of all heroic types….”What do my ears look like?”
No Pretty Ones were harmed in the making of this episode, because they were already dead?
