Noroi and Kinki, plus Stu Does Something Stupid
If you listen to this podcast, you'll be cursed. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're looking at Japanese documentary horror films Noroi: The Curse and About a Place in the Kinki Region (and the novel the latter is based on) and how they both parallel and inform horror RPGs. Plus, Stu makes a very large vinyl mistake.

Vacation
We'll be back. But not before a nice, long vacation. After just shy of 363 episodes in eight years, the Vintage RPG Podcast is going to take a hiatus. For lots of reasons, many of which we explain in this episode (along with some general kvetching about the state of the contemporary internet; that article about ad calls on news sites can be found here, hat tip to Robert McNees). But honestly, mostly, a vacation sounds nice. We'll be back in a couple months. We're even planning on sending a couple virtual postcards. Until then, sign up for the for the Vintage RPG Newsletter, still going out ever Friday afternoon. Join the Vintage RPG Discord to while away the days until our return.

Sea and Land
