Some friends of mine put out a bunch of podcasts on nerdy topics here, including 1 in which we play Fantasy Flight's Edge of The Empire Star Wars roleplaying game. So if anyone is curious what that game is like (it's great) or for those of you who enjoy listening to other people have fun, check out The Whiskey Rebellion. The first episode is a one shot just to introduce the system, we start our campaign proper in Episode III. We make steady improvements to our sound quality over time, so give us a chance.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
It's really good. I was kind of low on the holiday game at first but it ended up doing such a great job for me of establishing the importance of Ibex, the lovable patheticness of Orth, and just the general political tension, and it's made me really invested in everything that has happened since then.

I really like the Holiday game for those reasons and because of how much of an operational Clusterfuck it devolves into.

I felt that way about the Chital game, but it's really supported Audy's character 'growth.'

I'm going to be starting an AP podcast in the next couple months. We'll probably mainly do one- or two-shot games (we want to do Shinobigami when the rough rules for that come out, and I may do a short Tenra Bansho game or Golden Sky Stories or something as a test run before that).

We've all played before as we used to be a regular group a couple years ago, but it wasn't playing for other people to listen to.

I've listened to The The Adventure Zone Zone and heard stuff Griffin keeps in mind when he runs his game/podcast, but does anyone here have any other advice for us? I will be the only one who has done any sort of podcasting before.

Also is there anything in particular that people would like to hear? Can't promise we would be able to fulfill those wishes, but it would be nice to have ideas to start with.

Yeah, definitely! At first it was odd because the last episode ended on a semi-cliff hanger and it seemed like a weird place to diverge, but it was totally the correct time to do that and Im glad they did.

There is a client that was developed specifically for playing Paranoia online. The amount of secret info might make it tricky as a podcast though.

So something like letting listeners know as little as any other player would and then filling them in after the fact? Like doing some sort of postmortem after the scenario/mission/whatever is done?

Fandible did some, a while back, but yeah, there are not many people braving the FFG 40k system. Its odd, as the massive spike in viewers I got when Black Sea started was noticable - so there are people out there who really like it, but not many people doing the podcasts.

I heard of a collaborative storygame about cultists working together (ish) in a small town to raise a Great Old One. The game is called Soth. Naturally I had to track down an actual play of the thing.

Also Naturally Soth is for VERY Mature Audiences only.

quote:

Soth: a game of cultists vs investigators

by Steve Hickey Games

In Soth, you play cultists in a small-town, trying to summon a dark god. If you complete three more rituals, Soth will rise. But can you conceal your murderous crimes from family and friends?

Soth is a mix between Breaking Bad and the stories of H.P. Lovecraft.

It’s a noir thriller that uses a diceless system to evaluate how suspicious the cultists are being. You then spend 'Suspicion' to put the cultists under pressure.

Duration: 1-3 sessions
Players: 3-7
Ages: 16+
System: diceless, low-prep, low-complexity

What is Soth youtube trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hhk_Ipt0sE

Preview of Soth : https://pe56d.s3.amazonaws.com/p19ngfkr841tpc1t3vto91iplp737.pdf

Soth website: https://payhip.com/b/Ux9O


The Jank Cast posted a three session Soth adventure. http://jankcast.com/archives/3214

The players were excellent and mature and the game seems to have this biphasic structure, where the beginning half is sort of slow and then things ramp up and go totally off the rails in the third act. The mechanics reinforce this, with the players generating enough heat that in the third act the GM can buy multiple investigators. Also some cultists have hidden agendas which get played or foiled when investigators start crashing down, the ritual sacrifices get more demanding and people throughout the town are getting very suspicious.

Despite all the casual murder, grooming of a target for human sacrifice, and backstabbing; funny enough the most horrifying event was the slow awkward dissolution of a marriage. Brilliantly roleplayed but very very dark.





RPPR started a new branch of podcasts called Tabletop Tales. Currently there are three episodes up of a Dresden Files campaign.

Tom plays a lizardman something, Aaron plays a half-ghost with the most, and Ross plays a teenage Slenderman who is being stalked by the cast of Marble Hornets. Oh and there is a Warden in there someplace.

http://tabletoptales.roleplayingpublicradio.com/





While browsing for more Delta Green stuff I was recommended the youtube channel of the NatOne actual play group.

I was impressed. These guys are professional and quite good.

I've only had the opportunity to watch The Last Stage. The Last Stage is tagged with Delta Green, but in the intro episode the GM makes it very clear the arc of the story is about government funded supernatural investigations broadly and the world is not canonically Delta Green. They are however using the latest Delta Green rules. Frankly this is great because it keeps the players on their toes. Who knows what the GM will throw at them? The episodes are edited somewhat to intersperse after action interviews with agents with the story line. Also the GM deftly handles six players. In general I would say this is two too many players for a good atmospheric horror game, but they execute it well.

Story Arc broad stroke spoilers for The Last Stage.
The later adventures have the Wraith:The Oblivion tag so it looks like the world taking a lot of material from ghosts in classic WoD!

They have also published actual plays with Dread, Fiasco, Delta Green (real Cthulhu version), D&D 5th and FATE.

That's Jank Cast in a nutshell. They're fantastic, a hidden gem in the RPG podcasting landscape, one of the few groups I'd take a chance on listening to APs of "mature content" games like Soth. I can't recommend their APs highly enough, especially their Apocalypse World games, and their round-table discussions are solid too.
