Summary

We're going to the only place where people can agree on what an RPG is... SPACE!Victor and Nadia, with a little help from the listeners, discuss their favourite RPGs set in space, RPGs that feature space stages, and RPGs that feature space travel regardless of how much of the game is played in the void of space. Three very important distinctions. All that and pretty much just that on this out-of-this-world episode of Axe of the Blood God. Except we don't discuss the game Out of This World because we all agree, not an RPG. Right?
