The Vintage RPG Podcast

Stu's got more plastic flotsam from the 1980s. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we take a look at Stu's new(ish) to him plastic tile puzzles from Imperial Toys, featuring gorgeous ripped-off art and bright colors (you'll have to wait until 2027 to see them on the feed, sorry). Also, D&D sliding tile puzzles and the face of the warrior fighting the dragon on the famous Elmore cover painting for the red box Basic Set. Fun fact: Stu bought not one, but two separate vintage sticker sheets from 1983 while recording this episode.

Can you defeat the tower before the tower defeats you? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out Milton Bradley's legendary Dark Tower board game from 1981. One of the most powerful examples of fantasy's moment in the mainstream limelight, the electronic game is actually pretty fun to play, too!

Santa did what?! 
This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we reveal the secret origin of Santa Claus, as told by Seabury Quinn in the novella Roads (1948). Saying more than that would spoil the fun. Ho, ho, ho?
