GMS Magazine Podcast Channel - RPGs, Boardgames reviews, interviews and advice.

What RPGs are bad for the industry? Are there any games you wish hadn’t come out? Both in Europe and in the USA, we have had some games that have hurt the industry, and some others that are hurting the industry and the hobby as a whole. Some games have helped contribute to the stigma of weirdness or danger that some people attached to RPGs in the 80s and 90s. For different reasons and in different countries, some RPGs have acquired a very bad reputation, let it be as enablers of Satan or as weapons of murder or simply as something losers and nerds do. Of course some have helped create an amazing and creative hobby and subculture and those we celebrate every day. Have we missed any games? Let us know!
