Episode 15 – Why We Love Party-Based CRPGs
This week, we dive deep into what makes party-based CRPGs so much fun — the freedom, the tactics, and that tabletop feel of running a whole adventuring group. We dive into the history of genre, and JCServant shares his own CRPG journey, from D&D and the Gold Box classics to Baldur’s Gate 3. We also spend time on your opinions — discussing listener feedback on the best type of RPG character level-up and progression systems, and even a bit about the magic of cards!

This week's question: What’s your “comfort food” game in these genres—the one you keep returning to when you want that classic RPG experience?
