The Crusading Couch episode 8: Would You Be Interested?

Slightly longer episode this month, but it is well worth it.

This months episode is all about game pitches. Wilfred, Kim, and Raymond each came up with 3 different campaign ideas(for a total of 9). We pitched them to each other; but we want to see what you guys think?
Do you have any suggestions for possible systems? Is their a game that you’d love us to play? which of these do you want to play? Would you run any of these ideas? Please leave us a comment with any feed back or questions you have!

Remember there is only a week left to complete this months writing challenge. You can learn more here.

Changing Breeds: Catch Up

Raymond recently ran a one shot of Changing Breeds: the New World of Darkness were-beast supplement. Most of the players were new to NWoD, and a couple had little role playing experience. All in all it was a really fun game, and an excellent recording.

In this scenario the players had to try and track down a missing friend. It was a standard investigation scenario that culminated in am epic battle. The person the PCs were searching for was a go between for the various shifters of Darwin. They had a meeting with him that he didn’t turn up for.

If you are new to World of Darkness we feel this is a pretty good look at how it plays.

The Crusading Couch episode 6: game reviews!

April’s episode of The Crusading Couch is here and ready for the listeners!
This month we tested out a new episode format where we review (for lack of a better word) three RPGs. We outlined their settings, touched on the rules, discussed the various pro’s and con’s of the games, and then suggest who might enjoy these games.

The three games we talked about were: Eclipse Phase, New World of Darkness, and Star Wars: Edge of the Empire.

Reminder that tomorrow is the last day of this months writing challenge. Raymond feels a little behind so he’s got a lot of typing to do today!

Eclipse Phase: Fast Extraction.


This week we’ve got a nice short Eclipse Phase scenario that i just sort of whacked together. It’s a Martian Train heist, to kidnap a Jovian VIP. there are some references to our eCOPse phase games(new one in may).
If you’d rather watch the live stream than listen to it, you can find it HERE.

This is only the second game I’ve ever run online. I’ve played in a couple of online games lately and it removes some of the scheduling issues of a normal in person TTRPG run. This was probably the most linear scenario I’ve ever run, and the shortest; in spite of that i kinda loved it. I hope to run more online games in the future.

If you want to play in one of our online games: like us on facebook, follow us on WordPress, Soundcloud, and Twitter. I’ll try and run an online game every month, and they will be announced on those platforms…maybe we should do a mailing list as well?

ANYWAY: please LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, FOLLOW, and SUBSCRIBE <3

The Quiet Year: Bears. Bears Everywhere.


This weeks podcast is another recording we made on International Table Top day, our second game of The Quiet Year.

Raymond helped run this game as we had five players. Things went off the rails pretty hard at times, but it was all good fun.

the photos we took of the map didn’t come out very well, but here they are anyway.

If you liked this game, we have other quiet year recordings you could check out.

Geek Out!: International Table Top Day Edition

A special irregular upload to celebrate International Table Top Day!

We’ve played a lot of games today, but the one we decided to share with you was Geek Out!

Geek Out! is a geek trivia and bidding game, where you leverage your knowledge of geeky subjects to out compete your “friends”. Topics range from black and white science fiction movies to famous actors’ roles. It’s great game for both small and large groups, and we recommend you play it at your next games night.

We had a truck load of fun playing and we hope that you have an equally enjoyable time listening.

Pendragon: The Golden Hare Hunt.

This weeks game is Pendragon. Pendragon is kind of unique in role playing games in that it has an ultra-specialised setting and focus. In this game you play as a member of King Arthur’s court, either a lady or a knight. You can customise your character background and heritage in many ways, but you are still either a knight, or a lady. Knights, by the way, can be female or male or anything in between. Our Players all chose to be male knights, and elected to begin play in the relativity peaceful Tournament Period of Arthur’s reign.

Our first game takes place just a few days after the PC’s have been officially knighted. They are attending a Hunt held in the Queen’s honour. I really enjoyed running this game, and the players seemed to dig it as well. We look forward to running it again next month.

Farewell from the past, I’m Raymond.
