RPPR After Hours: Gritinu - Anima and R-rated Superhero Movies

Fuzzy Dan joins us to discuss Anima, a Spanish RPG that animes the shit out of all the things with a touch of Catholicism.  Also, we talk about how every superhero movie apparently needs to be rated R now since Deadpool made a lot of money.

Song: Aesthetic Skull with Fern by PZA.

RPPR Illustrated: Call of Cthulhu - The Haunting

This classic scenario certainly deserved better than our atrocious trial by fire run of it but how else could haze Aaron as a new GM? Listen to the Actual Play, if you haven't already.

Thanks to Patsy McDowell for the art and to Caleb for not running away after this ...

RPPR WoD The Heck? Gonzo Actual Play - Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand - Episode 2

In this episode, Shaun runs an old World of Darkness game, where we are all members of the true Black Hand and must go on a mission for the Shadow Crusade. So a were-dinosaur, a vampire time lord, a werewolf vampire, board a jet rented by a vampire wizard and head to the dread realm of VANCOUVER in a game of personal horror in a gothic punk setting.

Pictured above: Faust's reactions to rolling an attack with his character. Many dice were involved. Many.

Early Access: Eclipse Phase - Forced Retirement

This is Faust's first game with us I believe and I accidentally lost the first 20 minutes of the game but I resummarized it when I did start recording so you didn't really lose anything. Wooo!

Milestone reached! THREE Online Games a month!

Thanks and hello to all the new backers! We're well on our way to making WoD The Heck a regular bonus podcast. Once we reach that, who knows? Perhaps there will be a final special milestone ...

Dan from the RPPR cast has volunteered to run a monthly game for Patreon backers. Instead of one shots, he is going to run a 5E D&D campaign set in Monte Cook's Ptolus setting. He will allow any $10 backer to play so everyone who wants a chance to play will get one. There will be a post for $10+...

RPPR After Hours: The Immortal Manther and Whisperballs

For our one year anniversary of the Patreon, we decided to revisit the saga of Baron von Kharkov, the vampiric man-panther (Manther for short), in the Dungeon magazine #50 adventure "Felkovic's cat".

We also review Immortal: The Invisible War, a strange game of World of Darkness-ish terminology and bizarre metaphysics. Find out what whisperballs are and other esoteric secrets.

Early Access: Monster of the Week - The Lost Night

We revisit Taos New Mexico and the same heroes from Good Stories for Nightmares! This time, they face another threat, one far more insidious and subtle than Dreamlands invasions of reality. A killer stalks the night - but who or what is he?

New Milestones and Rewards Added!

The RPPR Patreon has been up for a year at this point and it has leveled up! I've added two new milestones to celebrate (and more are coming!)

At $1500, a new monthly online game will be opened up (for a total of 3 games a month) for $10 and above backers to play.  As always, these games will be recorded to the RPPR Youtube channel and eventually converted to free AP episodes for download for the entire public to enjoy.


At $1600, we will create a new monthly After Hours...

BONUS AFTER HOURS EPISODE! PAX South Trip Report with Chris Farmer

Chris Farmer is a veteran RPPR alumni  - you might remember him as the voice of Ab3 on our original radio plays. He went to PAX South this year and had spare room in his hotel so I tagged along for the ride. After 3 fun and exhausting days of exploring the con, we sat down to talk about it. This trip was made possible by your support on Patreon, so enjoy this bonus podcast!

The regular After Hours episode will still be recorded, so don't worry about that.

Early Access: Red Markets Beta - The Brutalists episode 1

I combined the campaign creation and first scenario as one episode. It's over 5 hours altogether, but I think you guys will enjoy it.

This is being labeled as the Red Markets Beta instead of Red Markets so when we do get the final published version of the game, I can separate these games from those.

RPPR After Hours: Remember the Machismo

Special guest Michelle shows up to review Macho Women with Guns. Ross reviews A.C.E Agents, the premier GI Joe parody RPG. We also talk about the most macho of magazines from the 1990s, Soldier of Fortune, and more specifically, the ads at the back of the magazine. It's like a gear chapter in a Palladium RPG! There's also some talk about the recent hijacking of the Silent Hill wiki by a man on a quest to tell the world about the horrors of circumcision.

There seems to be a gap in the recording, so you may notice a jump around 26:53 - I haven't time to relisten to the episode and we recorded back in May so I don't remember what happened. Please let me know if the episode seems to be missing some content.

Free AP download: Call of Cthulhu - Fugitive Recovery Services


As you may know, I run online games for Patreon backers. I've been neglecting to post the MP3 versions of these games.  I will try to catch up this month. This is a Cthulhu game I ran back in June. It's also available on Youtube if that works better for you. (All of the Patreon games are available on our Youtube channel.)


Original Synopsis: All of you work for Regent Bail Enforcement Service...
