In the newest episode of The Gauntlet Podcast, Lowell Francis and I are joined by Agatha from the new Asians Represent! podcast to discuss Tales From the Loop, Don’t Rest Your Head, and The Election of the Wine Queen.
It’s a really fantastic episode. Thanks to Paul Edson for the excellent edit.
Check it out!
Holy crap, what a good episode! Such a good discussion from each game brought up. Such a great and pleasant listen!

I recently played Tales from the Loop with my f2f group – and I had the first ever tone / subject matter discussion with the friends I play games with for 30 years and man did that pay off. We had alcoholic single parents, domestic violence, brain slugs from outer space and lots of small town 80’s nostalgia.
The game has some mechanical issues (the lack of partial successes is infuriating), it might not work with players who don’t share the same cultural background (maybe you really have to be from the same town to enjoy it as much as we did) and I don’t know if you would enjoy it without having lived as a teen in the 80’s … but if you have the game is pure gold.
