I've been running a Heart the City Beneath campaign for Tom, Aaron, David, and Thad. We made characters together, as recommended by the book. Tomorrow, episode 1 goes up on Early Access, but you can learn about our four intrepid delvers with this bonus actual play.
I wrote a scenario called the Drove for the Delta Green 2021 Shotgun Scenario Contest. You can read my entry here. I ran it for RPPR and I will post the actual play of it this month.
The set piece of the scenario involves a horrific monster trapped in an underground labyrinth beneath a pig farm. 2022-01-03 18:28:08 +0000 UTC View Post

This is a new RPG I spotted on Itch.io and I was intrigued enough to run a game of it. I've added the map to the image of this post so you can follow along and the public release will have photos of the cabin during our playthrough.

Castle Greyhawk (module WG7) might be the worst official D&D module of all time. A massive dungeon of 12 levels, each written by a different author, sounds like a great hack and slash module, but Castle Greyhawk has a twist. It's supposed to be...funny. Puns, pop culture references and other 'jokes' populate the pages of this adventure.
Caleb, Rob, and I read the first two chapters to see what this infamous module had to offer. It's fart-powered rocket monsters, adversarial GMing, a...

Introduction: Built by a powerful group of superheroes, the Graveyard of Giant Robots is a massive cavern in the upper mantle of the Earth. The old heroes stored dead kaiju, wrecked alien spaceships, and decommissioned giant robots in the Graveyard. Eventually the superheroes used it to throw anything that wasn’t too hazardous or useful. It is accessible by teleport pads in various superhero bases and a single maintenance tunnel network that connects somewhere on the surfac...

Three mortals find themselves in a desperate struggle between a dangerous cult and a being beyond comprehension, known only as the ‘Skin Taker’. The dramatic conclusion of our Candle Cove game!
This is part of our new series, Pixel 2 Paper. Slipgate Chokepoint is a RPG inspired by Quake 1. We played the adventure in the book, The Flayed Domain:
A contingent of Rangers specialising in teleportation technology has not returned through the slipgate after their rune-finding excursion. Their research points to a source of malign power in the region, guarding a rune that transmits ether signals indicating an affinity to magicks associated with matter displacement.

We've explored the rules of Palladium's martial arts RPG, so there's only one thing left to do: make some characters! Tom and Aaron join me as we try to figure out how to stat out various fictional characters. First off are Neil Breen from his first movie, Double Down, and the raccoon from Synnibarr. Palladium does allow crossovers from its other games, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness, so making a mutant raccoon is easy.
Thank you for supporting the RP...

November 2021 - The Suburban Anomaly
A house in a suburban neighborhood no longer fully exists in our universe. Something unnatural happened inside only a few hours ago. The local authorities have not yet responded or even realized something is amiss there.
The following map is meant as a resource for any modern horror game. Use it as the starting seed of a scenario or as a finale. The artifact behind the anomaly is left undescribed so it can be replaced with whatever ...

This safehouse is designed in the Base Raiders setting, but can easily be transplanted to any superhero RPG setting. Merely replace Build-A-Base technology with some other high technology source. No game stats have been provided so it can be used for any system. A label-free version can be used as a handout. Perhaps the PCs use this as their own base once they find and secure it or can be gradually revealed, room by room, during an online game....
