Early Access: Gen Con 2016 content

We recorded multiple panels and Tom recorded a WW2 Call of Cthulhu game. I'm not sure if Tom's game will make it to the AP Podcast because of sound quality but it was a helluva game to the players! The panels are all listenable. They include:

BONUS ACTUAL PLAYS! Horrors of War scenarios run by Adam Scott Glancy of Pagan Publishing

These scenario actual plays were previously a reward for the Horrors of War Kickstarter, but Mr. Glancy has graciously provided them to RPPR as a free download. They included two scenarios never featured on RPPR before, Last Flight of the L58 and The Uncorrupted. If you enjoy his work, please consider buying one of Pagan's fine products.

RPPR Won an Ennie!

We had a blast at Gen Con this year and RPPR took home the Silver Ennie for Best Podcast. Thanks to everyone who voted for us. We will be posting a lot of content from Gen Con in the next month. I've already posted one of our panels.

As a special reward for backers, I've posted a Slasher Flick one shot for $5 and higher backers called 2016-08-08 23:58:32 +0000 UTC View Post

BONUS Actual Play: Slasher Flick - Heavy Metal Mayhem

We have a special actual play that will NEVER be posted on the podcast. This is Shaun's first time running a game for the RPPR group! Using Slasher Flick, he chose a 1980s heavy metal theme for the game. It was certainly an enjoyable game but I decided to make this a special reward for higher tier Patreon backers. Enjoy!

RPPR After Hours: The After School Special

Aaron, Caleb, Faust, and I get through the finale of the Future King and then talk about school in various RPG settings, like Dungeon Crawl Classics and Shadowrun. Finally, we give reports on various creatures using sheets from the AD&D monstrous compendium. Now we're off to Gen Con!

WoD The Heck: Mage the Ascension

In this episode, Shaun, Aaron, and I try to explain the mindfuck that is Mage the Ascension to poor Faust. Avatars? Spheres? Traditions? Not to mention the dreaded GILGUL. It's all Greek to Faust and even we're hazy on the details. Prepare your tass, it's time to fight the Technocracy!

RPPR Patreon Actual Play: Atomic Robo: What in the World is Dr. Dinosaur Doing?

Streamed Live on Oct 25, 2015

The eccentric and unpredictable Dr. Dinosaur has long been a pain in the collective backside of the scientific community. For over two decades he has constantly makes threats to destroy scientific facilities (such as the LHC at CERN). Though largely ineffective (and usually a victim of his own insane plans or Tesladyne interference), the sanity-challenged sauropod has seemingly completed a series of fairly complicated heists in the last few months. ...

RPPR Illustrated and Campaign Preview: Red Markets - Fallen Flag episode 1

From left to right: Aamu (Faust), Cutty (Shaun), Half-off (Caleb), Han (David), McCready (Tom), and Refurb (Aaron)

I ran a Red Markets campaign for the RPPR crew earlier this year. Set in Greeley, Colorado, the taker group Fallen Flag tried to earn their retirement far out in the Loss, far from the safety of the Recession. Caught between the DHQS and the Moths, the takers have to find a balance between deadly jobs and the pressures of home life. 2016-06-07 04:36:53 +0000 UTC View Post

RPPR After Hours: Kingstarter

Our listeners have been sending in some great review fodder, so Caleb reviews Cyberskelter, a scenario anthology for Cyberspace, the same RPG that was responsible for Death Valley Free Prison. I review part of the Future King, a batshit insane RPG/adventure that takes six very specific heroes from history to save King Athur.  We also discuss some Kickstarter-related topics, such as a certain con artist and the practicality of Chaosium's Horror on the Orient Express.
