Episode 361: Green Green Yellow Yellow Green

The word is Danger! The nerds discuss various dangers, including a new game Andy is working on called Danger Star. Then they spend a lot of time talking about their favorite robots, with Andy first providing a detailed recap of episode 160, in which they discussed the topic informally. Then they break it down into sub-categories including favorite Star Wars robot, favorite real-life robot, and the differences between androids, cyborgs, robots, and smart vehicles. After discussing some old business, Keith talks about playtesting his new Daggerheart campaign, and how the system is fundamentally different from D&D. Meanwhile, Andy reports on playtest #13 of Starbase Armstrong, for which he dusted off his programmer hat to write some much needed score-calculating software. Moving on to media, they talk about a book they’re both reading, called 253, and after dropping the Spoiler Curtain, they discuss the first few episodes of Taskmaster season 21 and a few other things including the UK Celebrity version of The Traitors.
