Summary
In this english language episode we are honored by the visit of kod_connect, archivar and custos of the first Russian language RPG, published half-legally while the Soviet Union still existed. We explore what is known about the games origin, what the basic gameplay loops are, and how much D&D is in its genetics. With hassran and settembrini.
