October is spoopy skeleton month, so Aaron, Tom, and I answer your questions about horror!
Note: There was some problems recording this episode, resulting in some occasional crackle - I have reduced it but was unable to entirely remove it. Sorry! I will take greater care to prevent that in our next episode.

Thad recorded a Delta Green game at Gen Con 2018 run by Shane Ivey and I forgot about it until now. This is a playtest of an upcoming official scenario. It will eventually get to the main podcast but patrons get it far earlier. Thanks for supporting RPPR!

Caleb ran a one shot of Lancer, a new sci-fi mecha RPG from Mastif Press. It was a lot of fun and I plan to run it myself when the book comes out. Enjoy!

Caleb and I discuss traps, particularly ones from Grimtooth's Traps Too. Why do dungeons in fantasy RPGs often have so many and so impractical traps? The implications of obsessive trap builders are fascinating. We also review many of the traps from the book.

Our first proper Eclipse Phase second edition game! I ran this game as a way to get the RPPR group used to the new mechanics, so there's a bit of a tutorial section.

Adam Scott Glancy ran a great game of Delta Green for us this year at Gen Con and in a very quiet room, so audio quality will be better than ever!

As promised, I've made B-Sides Volume 4 available as a free download. I've mirrored it on archive.org because Gumroad no longer allows me to change paid items to pay what you want.
Thank you for supporting RPPR and enjoy our games of Red Markets, Unknown Armies, and a few other systems!

A listener recently sent me a copy of a Shadowrun supplement called Shadowbeat. This book covers pop culture, a rare topic for a RPG book. In order to do this book justice, I got a lot of people to discuss it, so this episode is extra long!

I ran a campaign of Unknown Armies last year themed around an occult treasure hunt. Bill, David, Greg, and for our first episode, Caleb. It was a fun and weird journey through the Midwest and I hope you all enjoy it!
2019-07-10 19:51:48 +0000 UTC View PostI know a lot of you enjoy listening to our classic campaigns, but as RPPR Actual Play has grown, it has created some problems downloading older episodes. The RSS feed is limited to 500 episodes and we have over 600 episodes already available. Furthermore, finding a campaign and downloading it can be tedious and annoying.
I have figured out a solution to this problem. I can create mirror sites with just the episodes of a particular campaign. That generates a new and unique RSS feed...
