  • Love the show

    I have been a fan of Tri Tac games since the early 90’s when I picked up those editions. I just found this podcast and love it, knowledgeable hosts talking about subjects they love! And it isn’t limited to just Tri Tac, although they do manage to bring it back to those games most of the time. Well worth your time. I know have many hours of great podcasts to listen to both for entertainment and to mine for ideas in my Tri Tac games.

  • Useful for any RPG

    I have found these podcasts to be very entertaining and a useful source for ideas. I've been planning a Fringeworthy campaign and this is a gold mine of ideas. Due to the nature of that setting, and the other Tri Tac games, the information and discussion here is applicable to almost any RPG. I listen to them while at work (with headphones) and often find myself jotting down a few notes for use in the games I play (both as a GM and player).

  • Killer

    I'm a real pod-cast hater, but even I enjoyed the fresh fun that Tri-Tac puts into their podcasts! Not only do you get insight into Frindgeworthy, but you also get other helpful information when it comes to running just about any cross-dimensional RPG.

    HIGHLY recommended!

  • A lot of great information

    I just started listening to the Fringeworthy at Episode 36 (Adventuring in the Past-Europe) and I was blown away at the amount of research went into their show. I have never played the Fringworthy RPG, but the info I took away from listening was pure gold. I have now added them to my Subscription list and look forward to listening to more of a very well thought out show.

    I have been playing Fringeworthy for over 20 years (and yes, I have a life :) - this podcast has answered many questions for me and my group yet, they have opened up new questions... If you have never played Fringeworthy WTH is wrong with you?? It's story, plot, and mechanics can overlay on top of any other game system... seriously, check out Fringeworthy and the Fringeworthy podcast!
