We chat to longtime friend and supporter of the channel, Ronald Hof on the topic of restoring these gorgeous toys of our youth to their former glory. Ron is a master of the restorations game, and it's certainly a topic we've been itching to discuss with him for some time. After all, he's the guy responsible for getting GI Joburg its very own Defiant Launch Complex. We also discuss the man's favourite toys and collecting philosophy. So climb into Ron's toyroom with us and Live The Adventure!

We got excited about the new Dungeons and Dragons publication Ghosts of Saltmarsh, so we played a one-shot inspired by the contents.

We used James Haeck's DnD Beyond articles:
Sharkfin Shipwreck (www.dndbeyond.com/posts/441-encoun…arkfin-shipwreck)
Coral Colossseum (www.dndbeyond.com/posts/485-encoun…-coral-colosseum)

A party of land-lubbers have left Importown; they battle a storm, find out where the helm is, learn about piranha mermaids... and the difference between gym muscles and real muscles.

We're back from a small week break and better than ever! Matty has finally plunged into Sekiro and is really damn good at it, while Sandy loved shooting foul-mouthed aliens in Void Bastards. News is also packed this week as E3 approaches fast!

If you listen really loudly, you can almost see this podcast.
