Jenkies! It’s time for another groovy episode of Save for Half! This time the Fab Four are joined by Jon Peterson, author of the book Playing at the World and all around fun guy from Yuggoth to discuss the RPG scene of the 1970s, a time where our hobby first got its roots set into the hearts and minds of millions.

Welcome to the mash…the Monster Mash? Your trio of Halflings (with a surprise 4th joining the cast) delve into an unusual little RPG of the mid-1970s called Monsters! Monsters! by Ken St. Andre. The author of Tunnels & Trolls decided to give the enemies of heroic parties their own side of the game, and we give you the goods….and the bads, and the uglies! No Crones were harmed in the making of this podcast, not even the...

Welcome to the Halfling Hideaway of Save for Half! This show we’re looking at a modern set of supplements for the campaign world of Avremier by David A. Hill. It’s made to be run with the Original D&D rules (1974), but is flexible enough to run with most any A/D&D rules set. It’s a big project (Core setting book and 4 supplements) but luckily for us our good friend DM Jim from Frog God Games has joined us to complete this review!...

Death, carnage, madness and flying head butts await you dear listener—in the internet’s greatest podcast brought to you by a guy from Wyoming and a couple of weirdos from Denton (the Home of...

Hey all, the Halflings are here again to half the halflings available only to the other “half”! Which means a chat with Satan himself! Right. Well, it’s Mike “BadMike” Badolato; co-owner, marketing hub, and general whipping boy for the North Texas RPG Convention. We know it’s late….but we brought you Satan to make up for the delay! That’s gotta count for something. No innocent people were harmed in the making...

Saddle up y’all, and go for yer guns! The Halflings rustle up a passel of Western catch-phrases for this episode of the podcast! We’re covering Boot Hill (1st and 2nd editions) and talk about weapons, maps, guns and a surprising lack of “Men with No Name”(TM). No outlaws were harmed in the making of this podcast, except when Liz shot Mike…but she didn’t shoot the deputy!     Links mentioned in...
