The Baldies have returned from the podcast pit of procrastination! In this episode we have a catch up with what we've been up to and playing, share some thoughts on playing an RPG in the flesh (phwoarrr!) , discuss a tricky second hand purchase and why there may be a shortage of Giant Skittles in Steve's local shop. Steve's poltergeist also makes a brief appearance although previously having been asked to hold off joining us until October, I mean, you just can't get the ghasts these days..

The Baldies are back with a phut! In this found audio adventure join us in this episode as, (backed by the  Bilbo Saggins & The Tall Guys funk band) we went on a roadtrip to the UKGE.. We share our thoughts as we wandered the hall and in an absolute, complete chance encounter managed to interview Jonathan Hicks, writer of the excellent Those Dark Places RPG from Osprey Roleplaying Games! Jonathan shares his insights into writing the game, getting into creating games and gives us an excellent Hobby Jobby!
