We are closing out our run of Spectaculars from Rodney Thompson and Scratchpad Publishing with our back matter, when we talk about the game mechansims, how they fit in with super hero fiction, and give you some stellar comic book and novel recommendations.

We also spend some time talking with Seanan McGuire about her history with RPGs and some of her most memorable dice rolls, which will soon become some of your most memorable dice rolls.
