We're going to the only place where people can agree on what an RPG is... SPACE!Victor and Nadia, with a little help from the listeners, discuss their favourite RPGs set in space, RPGs that feature space stages, and RPGs that feature space travel regardless of how much of the game is played in the void of space.
