This episode is a mirror of Hereward's interview for CAR-PGA (The Committee for the Advancement of Role Playing Games) with Michael Tresca.

Overview of CAR_PGa:

In the 1980s, there was a major campaign attacking RPGs. Because of the inaction of the game publishers’ organization at that time, CAR-PGa was formed to find out what the problem was. CAR-PGa members’ research showed that the charges—the same ones that are repeated to this day—had absolutely no foundation in fact. Today, the CAR-PGa’s primary focus has shifted from game defense to a study of all aspects of RPGs: Material is collected by our editor, who catalogs it and publishes a notice of the new acquisitions in the Newsletter along with other game information. When an attack on RPGs resurfaces, CAR-PGa makes sure that its members know about it and they check the relevant research and records of historical attacks, investigate the specific circumstances of the renewed attack, and respond with the hard facts.
