[Corrected] Episode 472: Running Away from a Bush

An all-request episode kicks off with a Gaming Hut question from beloved backer Tom Abella, who wants to know if, when playtesting, there is such a thing as too good a GM.

Estimable backer Elias Helfer climbs all the way to the summit of the Tradecraft Hut to seek knowledge of Hassan-i Sabbah.

In Ask Ken and Robin, sagacious backer Michael David Jr. seeks guidance on a Mutant City Blues / Yellow King mash-up.

Finally, sleek and wily backer Ross Ireland inquires after a staple of the Eliptony Hut we’ve never quite explained: what’s the deal with alien big cats?
