SB Bonus Round 39.5 (Replay): Top 5 Western RPGs
<p>Note - This episode was originally released in March 2025. I've decided to add prior Bonus Round episodes to the main feed, sequentially and on a 1-year-plus delay, so that EVERYONE can enjoy these fun, classic gaming banter sessions. </p><p>Patrons will still get NEW Bonus Round episodes every month, so if you'd like to catch up on the previous 13 months of Bonus Round, head over to Patreon and support the show at the Fire Flower level or higher.</p><p><a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/dashboard/episode/e34s87d/www.patreon.com/smashingbricks" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/smashingbricks</a></p><p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p><p>Hey Retro Gamers, welcome back to Bonus Round!</p><p>These monthly podcast episodes are Patreon Exclusives and available at the Fire Flower level of support or higher. Each month, my guest and I will put together some sort of list, ranking, or otherwise fun conversation, usually related to that month's main episode. These will be released on the 28th of each month, and hopefully will be the dessert you've been missing after the main course episode two weeks earlier!</p><p>This month, James and I reflected upon the genre we'd played for the game of the month in Baldur's Gate, and came up with out Top 5 Western RPGs! The genre is a little sparse compared to say, JRPGs, but we made it work, just like in the Old West. (Why am I so eager to add Westerns to Western RPGs?)</p><p>Enjoy the episode and discuss your thoughts in Discord!</p>
