Gods&Monsters: The Slayers of Decadence Episode 1

This is the beginning of our new online campaign. We’ll be playing the FATE supplement Gods&Monsters. It’s a game of mythic proportions where the players act as gods within a pantheon, forging their legend! There will be a lot of new players, and the GM for this game is Ryan, who some of you might know from Rag-NERD-rok.

We recorded this over Skype using new software so please excuse any breathing or strange audio, we are still tweaking our settings.

Farewell from the past, I’m Raymond.

Base Raiders: Return of the Robot Assassin (Presented by RPPR)

We’ve got another RPPR Patreon game for you all this week. This time though it is the super-powered RPG Base Raiders, a game about picking up the pieces after the world’s most powerful heroes and villains vanished! It’s also about looting the shit out of abandoned super-hideouts! If you’d like to check out Base Raiders it’s available on DriveThru RPG.
You can also find Actual Plays from the creator of the game by clicking on this link right here!

So, here’s the hook:
While looking into increased activities within the NYC criminal rings the hero, inventor Iconoclast discovers two disturbing facts. One, there seems to be a rise in casualties on all sides that the gangs are not talking about; specifically with Luytein refugees that have been “recruited” as specialised enforcers. And two, it appears that these Luytein enforcers have had the majority of their cybernetic implants stripped. Researching further into the attacks, Iconoclast finds CCTV footage of one of the attacks, revealing the perpetrator to be the hero know as the Steel Centurion. Realising that the Steel Centurion has either gone rogue or someone else has acquired the armour, Iconoclast calls on four local Base Raiders to find out why the one-time hero has had a change of heart and what he plans to do with the stolen Luytein technology.

Atomic Robo – Edison’s Array (Presented by RPPR)

This is another game online game that Role Playing Public Radio put on for its Patreon backers. Thank You to Aaron for GMing.

Anyway; here’s the set up.
It’s the mystery of the new century for the Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne! A thief (or team of thieves) is targeting the collected works of Thomas Edison, stealing documents and exhibited inventions from around the country. The only clue to the perpetrators is a broken robot, seemingly reversed-engineered from Edisons designs and a single tarot card stained with blood. Now the agents of Tesladyne must find out why Edisons tech is being stolen and re-created before it is used for more dastardly purposes!

The Crusading Couch Episode 11: Computer RPGs Vs Table Top RPGs

In this months episode Kim, Wilfred, and Raymond discuss the differences and similarities of computer and table top Role Playing Games. We talk about some of the different ways they tell stories, as well as the mutual lessons both mediums have for each other. Also, Raymond was sick, so excuse the occasional cough.

Zodiac Hunt: Aries

But, before they can reach Zodiopolis they once again ran into Pieces, and things just get worse from there.

The Crusading Couch Episode 10: Morality

Morality.
Is it one of the most important aspects to a well-rounded character but the first thing to be lost when times get tough?
Do role-playing systems really need it in their mechanics? Or can it be misleading for gamers when a morality mechanic is used?
All of these, and more, are addressed in this months episode of The Crusading Couch!

Interestingly, Role Playing Public Radio also put up a recording on this topic today; they look at some different areas than we did. You can check that out here.

Cards Against Humanity: First Blood

We recently had a few game nights in our neck of the woods, lots of board games and card games were played. We managed to record of few of them.
This is one right here, Cards Against Humanity; it’s way different to the things we normally play, but it is good, wholesome, outrageous, racist, disgusting, ball slapping, shit eating, fun; WITH A CAPITAL F!

Farewell from the past, I’m Raymond.
