The folks who brought you Buccaneer interview the folks who bring you Bugganeer, otherwise known as Stingers & Spores: Pirates of the Still Sea.

Stingers and Spores is a setting where you can play a myriad of insect characters in a world with familiar fantasy RPG expectations, and this new adventure extends the adventure into the pirate realm played out on  the “still sea” of a large puddle.

This definitely isn’t a game like anything you’ve played!

The Savage Bull went to Gen Con for the first time and has some thoughts on the beast that is the largest gaming event in the world.

Amid the chaos and goodness that is GenCon, he also got the opportunity to sit down for an interview with the folks at Atomic Ninja Studios who are putting the final touches on their upcoming Dead End setting for Savage Worlds.

Before we get to the meat of their setting (next episode) we discussed what it’s like to attend GenCon and some surprises for new attendees like me who weren’t at all prepared for what to expect.

We talked with Shane Hensley about Savage Worlds Adventure Edition for 90 minutes. We had to redact 30 minutes of it for your safety.  The human mind can only take so much excitement and Shane dropped a lot of spoilers for upcoming projects and details on what you can find in the pages of the new edition of Savage Worlds.  A ton of them are still in this podcast, so find a safe place to sit down before listening.

The Savage Worlds Adventure Edition kickstarter begins on October 16th.
