Who says gaming can’t be exercise? Lifting heavy games like Red Markets, Eclipse Phase, Base Raiders, and Zweihander can be quite the workout! In this volume of RPPR B-Sides, you’ll find playtests of games in development, unique indie storytelling games and more. You won’t get these actual play episodes on RPPR Actual Play. We record so many games that we can’t fit everything on the podcast but for all you AP fanatics, here’s your chance for even more!

I am still working on Ruin and I have come up with a few mechanics that I think will be the last new ones for the game. At this point I now want to refine and perfect the systems I have created. Hopefully by the end of this year, there will be a playtest draft of the game for you to check out.
Hopefully.

January is Bad Movie Month and we're celebrating by talking about about bad horror movies! Special guests Birk, Noah, and Max from Good Brews, Bad Views, and I talk about bad movies that you picked out and also answer RPG questions.
Laser Chainsaw turns out to be a real person and he is not happy the Oddballs have used his name as an alias. Actions have consequences? Who could have guessed?

Recently, a friend of the podcast mailed me a stack of Rolemaster books so for the next few episodes we will be exploring the depths of critical hit tables, odd statblocks and expanded encounter tables on After Hours. First off is Creatures and Treasures, an archive of both monsters and magic items. Aaron, Tom, and I find some real jewels in these two books. Enjoy!

The Oddballs take a job from the Conclave, a group of autonomous robots. It seems they want to become independent. I'm sure they won't turn on all living creatures in the future if they gain enough power.

We're trying a few new things for this episode - including a prompt to have us come up with new holidays for your RPG. We will try to record the episode this weekened, so please answer in the next few days.

The hottest new reality show is about MMA fighters and extreme athletes going to a haunted house to punch ghosts. Obviously bad things happen.

A little over 10 years ago, I began RPPR Actual Play. Since then, we've had a lot of great games. Patsy picked some of the more memorable characters I've played:
"In the centre, we've got the big boss of Role-playing Public Radio, Ross Payton, enjoying a well-earned tot of rum from the comfort of his brutalist mcmansion. Around him, anticlockwise from top left, we have a few choice NPCs- Warbot 5000, the surly twitch-streamer robot from 2019-12-02 20:16:36 +0000 UTC View Post
In Legacy of Blood, a group of adventurers become the leaders of Fenhold, a small region known for its swamps. The villain of this module is notable for his Scooby Doo bad guy style. We also look at Deadly Power, a third party D&D module about mushrooms and a magic box.

The Oddballs scam a cult so they can steal something for their client! But they have to get the cult to trust them first before their plan will work.

The Pilgrims ally with a new faction to continue their quest. Their next destination: A Necron Tomb World!
This game was originally on here as an extended early access game. Now it will be posted next week on RPPR Actual Play, so it is showing up again as a regular early access game.
If I continue Extended Early Access would you want to see episodes go up again a week before they are posted or do you just want me to skip that week?

A horror stalks the streets of Harlem in December 1920. It targets heroes, men who fought in the Great War, the Harlem Hellfighters. Can a group of investigators find the evil and stop it before it's too late? I ran this game with special guest players Kyle and Kat from Best Pal Brigade and Aaron with a scenario from Harlem Unbound. Enjoy!
