WW2 Roundtable - featuring Night Witches by Jason Morningstar

Jason Morningstar of Bully Pulpit games joins us to talk about Night Witches - his new rpg about Soviet airwomen during World War Two, flying daring night time bombing missions in biplanes.

We take the opportunity to talk about WW2 in all kinds of media (games, movies, etc) and why it seems like we can't get enough of the "Good War"

Chuck Rice, Jason Tondro, Walt Robillard and Green Ronin's Chris McGlothlin (author of Golden Age for Freedom City) join us for this lively (and, at times, heated) conversation.

You can check out the (now finished) Kickstarter for Night Witches here.

You can learn more about the Uber comic here.

And more about the Max Manus movie here.

A Dance with Death: Soviet Airwomen in World War II is available here.
