This week, we’re playtesting Ed’s new homewbrew engine, tentatively called Will / Fate! At the tail end of World War II, four prisoners of war escape from a Nazi concentration camp and discover a horrific secret lab buried in the sewers. Nazi scientists experimenting with genetics have created three species of human-animal hybrids that have overtaken the laboratory. In order to reach freedom, the escapees will need to fight their way past the feral Alphas and parley with the dangerously intelligent Omega. Should they leave the otherwise harmless creatures alive in the abandoned lab, or do they risk the Third Reich unleashing an army of übermensch abominations on the unsuspecting Allies?

There’s a stereotype of nerds being bad at sports. And for us here at Rag-NERD-rok, that’s mostly true. But if there’s one thing that nerds are great at, it’s games.

The episode we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! This week, the boys in The Rag-NERD-rok Crew answer what is perhaps one of the most difficult questions in all of nerd-dom: which apocalypse is the best apocalypse? Ed, Ryan, Erik and Meyer face off in a formal debate moderated by Alex to get to the bottom of this matter once and for all. Later, Ryan reviews the new “Fiasco Companion,” published by Bully Pulpit Games in June of 2011, and the boys in The Crew discuss their experiences playing the game, writing playsets, and using the results to fuel their creative endeavors. Finally, Ed presents the second episode of his serial drama, “Dead of Winter.” We hope you enjoy the much-lauded Episode 008, our best so far!
