Our guest this week is John “Hambone” McGuire as we continue our Gary Con 2024 series of 50 years of D&D interviews. We talk about his 321 Action core book and the adventures he’s written to go along with it, including upcoming Hotel Exorcist, Braineaters! that he’s working on with Brian Shutter (Neon Lords of the Toxic Wastelands), and his love of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978).

We discuss playing Mystic Punks together at Gary Con, the community built playing RPGs compared to playing in bands, hosting the Vintage RPG podcast with Stu Horvath, and Stu’s new book Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground: A Guide to Tabletop Roleplaying Games from D&D to Mothership.
