We review the new(ish) tabletop RPG Tales from the Loop that has many people excited. Tales from the Loop seems to have hit a sweet spot with its combination of ’80s nostalgia, interesting game mechanics, and a setting both fantastic and familiar (well, if you’re from Sweden or Neveda). Do we think it should find its way to your gaming table? Does our love affair with Modiphius continue? Is there a Swedish word for “Goonies”? Find out in our video review as we discuss “roleplaying in the ’80s that never was”.

I wish I had seen White Gold before doing this episode. It's a good example of how you can have too much of a good ('80s) thing. 90% of their budget must go towards the soundtrack. Total waste of a lot of good songs. White Gold trailer
