3w ago01:21:55Tap to summarizeSci-fi, TSR style. I can't figure out why I thought this would be D&D based, maybe because it came out so late in the TSR lifecycle that I thought it was WOTC? Anyway, it's certainly interesting to talk about! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Transcribe →324 - Zenescope Presents: The Dark Age RPG
Apr 101:20:24Tap to summarizeWestern boob comics! Remember these? They've long since supplanted by that single mega milk manga image, you know the one. Anyway somewhere between the original Vampirella and that, there were a bevy of buxom comics companies that made titles like Gen13, Red Sonja, Danger Girl, and more. And also Zenescope. Never heard of them? Well strap in friends, because these mammary merchants done made themselves an RPG a while ago.
