New content NPC Cast Run by goon Sarx, NPC cast discusses a variety of RPG topics including boardgames, cardgames and table top rpgs. Their actual plays include D&D, Gamma World, new World of Darkness, Savage Worlds and Nights Black Agents. I have to recommend the WOD adventure Angles over Bourbon Street as one of the most perfectly balanced games between Gamemaster detail and time efficiency I have listened to. It is really quite good. NPC cast: https://npccast.wordpress.com/ Actual Plays: https://npccast.wordpress.com/tag/actual-play/ RollPlay Youtube channel that plays D&D, Stars Without Number, Shadowrun, Dungeon World, Dark Heresy, and one very infamous episode of Maid in costumes with current and former eSports [Dota, etc.] people and Twitch streamers. The Stars Without Number campaign (Swan Song) is immediately very funny with a cast morally compromised characters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iofsg3hqZjo The West Marches is a D&D campaign with a rotating cast of players in the West Marches tradition which of course includes highly lethal encounters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=playlist Maid.

Kestral posted:Do any of these podcasts have groups (or individual runs of games) who focus heavily on characterization and dialogue and less on procedural action, take the games they're playing at least somewhat seriously, and don't play some variant of D&D? Heck, I'll even take two out of three. A tall order I know, but I'm spoiled by the Jank Cast, Roll20 Presents Apocalypse World and, to a lesser extent, RollPlay's Swan Song and Mirrorshades, who all play in that vein. Highly recommend you check out Knights of the Night. Dresden Files (all): http://kotnpodcast.blogspot.com/p/dresden-rpg.html New World of Darkness (poo poo Luck is my only recommendation): http://kotnpodcast.blogspot.com/p/pods-by-campaign.html There was a lot of character development and conversations in the Drunk and the Ugly's Star Wars Ends of Empire game too. http://drunkandugly.com/category/star-wars/ Try Know Evil from RPPR too.

They need to be brief and to the point. The current one is too verbose. 'Mature audiences advised. References to [minor] abuse." You may not even need the second sentence. Those are my thoughts from the perspective of having yet to listen to the episode and just reading the comments. Edit: not preechy. As much as I like you guys the "additional FINE products" did make me roll my eyes more than a little and I have no shame shilling your products like a fanatic. Def remove "in addition to supernatural horror" because anyone who knows cthulhu knows what they are getting into. Or Mature Audences Advised. References to darker actions of human nature. Instead of the words "trigger warning." Helical Nightmares fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Oct 16, 2015 |

clockworkjoe posted:For those of you listeners out there - what draws you to an AP podcast? Is the genre or system first or something else? What keeps you listening? It's been a while so my memory isn't exact. I believe I was looking for Call of Cthulhu modern podcasts, specifically Delta Green when I stumbled across RPPR. Other than the podcasts on Unspeakable Oath (some of which are you guys as well, of course) I think RPPR has cornered the market on Delta Green podcasts. Previous to RPPR I had tried a smattering of Skype of Cthulhu podcasts. From there I tried some of the D&D 4e podcasts, got confused and finished the beginning 10 before I got bored of fantasy and was looking for more scifi. Then I discovered that you were running Eclipse Phase, which I had never played. I listened to the Eclipse Phase and Call of Cthulhu podcasts alternately (chronologically). I think I was already a regular listener at that point before I got to Know Evil. So for me, genre is king for the initial grab. I had a bias against Superhero games (and comics) in general before I listened to your Heroes of New Arcadia series. You guys sold me on them. I really don't care about the system (except I don't like Fiasco games for some reason) I am more into the creativity and camaraderie of the talent on the podcast. That's what keeps me listening. clockworkjoe posted:Also, campaigns: there are fewer comments in general on campaign episodes than one shots, especially later ones, which makes sense. Not everyone is going to listen to the entire campaign. It seems a lot of listeners pick campaigns for systems/settings they want to learn about - Eclipse Phase, for example, or 4E D&D (back right when it came out). Do you listen to one episode or two before you decide to follow a campaign? What causes you to drop it off, other than real life/got too busy/lost track of it and don't want to re-listen? Despite being verbose on the comment page of your actual plays, I try not to comment unless I have something interesting to say. For long running campaigns I've made most of the comments I can think of at the beginning so I generally have less comments towards the end. I guess I usually listen to two episodes before I decide to follow a campaign. Other than the 4ed New World podcast, I think I've listened to all of the RPPR campaigns fully. The things that will make me drop a campaign are: a guy doing a female falsetto (poorly), voice/audio quality issues, lack of a narrative resolution/bad story, players audibly not being engaged with the story (talking/doing something else. This is really more in the audio category for me), GM's completely full of themselves they drag hours on detail and don't get to the plot (RPPR has never done this). For example Ross, I know you have Tom have talked about the Night's Black Agents campaign. Tom mentioned his master sniper/forger/18 year old was a character he just couldn't get into and consequently he didn't feel that engaged. Even though I could hear Tom's lack of enthusiasm vs playing a octopus, this didn't bother me in the slightest because the RPPR team has great chemistry. I loved the narrative story of Night's Black Agents and all the characters even though I really don't like the Preparedness mechanic or the GUMSHOE system at all. Similarly No Soul Left Behind is awesome to listen to but I would never run the system. Regarding men doing female character voices, I recently listened to Rollplay's Swansong Episode 10 where two dudes were impersonating (or trying to) Southern ladies. It was goddamn hilarious. Some people just impersonate a voice badly and it drives me up a wall to the point I skip their dialogue and eventually skip episodes with that player. I'm not into fantasy with D&D's fight mechanics that are long and boring to listen to right now, so I haven't picked up The New World again.

clockworkjoe posted:It's hard to keep a campaign focused, especially in longer ones. I notice episodes of our campaign games tend to get fewer comments and discussion than one shots. However, don't listeners want well-role played PCs, which is harder to pull off in shorter games? I wonder if RPPR should focus more on shorter games or not. Just floating this idea. I think the drop in comments on rppr podcasts is correlated with the release of Fallout 4.

It is very good. And there are dronkeys.

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 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.

Speaking of Red Markets and podcasts Helical Nightmares posted:Meanwhile...back at RPPR studios If you are new to Red Markets and want to jump into how economic horror in the post apocalypse plays, then I recommend starting with Episode 3. http://actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/2016/02/genre/horror/red-markets-beta-the-brutalists-episode-3/ Expect Mad-Max style nutcases, a frantic car chase, zombies, and hacking a combine harvester all at the same time! Once you are done with how the combat and action plays out, go back to Episode 1 to see how character creation and base building (Enclave generation) functions. Helical Nightmares posted:If anyone is interested in how to develop their own rpg product from idea to market through all of the crazy trials and tribulations, I highly recommend the "Game Designers Workshop Series". Aka "loving up in real time" It's also a real time diary of sorts where you get to hear the Agony and the Ecstasy. ---- In addition I get to introduce my new favorite podcast, the Technical Difficulties Gaming Podcast Note there is a "Technical Difficulties" podcast that is not related to gaming. You are going to get inadvertent tech advice http://www.technicaldifficultiespod.com/ http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/technical-difficulties-gaming/id1101584393 The players are Ethan C, Aaron, Laura B, and Greg. I believe this group coalesced around the RPPR forums. They use Google Hangouts which is on average better than Skype with the occasional titular Technical Difficulties. Technical Difficulties has completed a Red Markets campaign using the beta rules. They are posting the episodes weekly. Currently there are 11 uploaded. If you want to jump straight into the action with how the Takers defend their Mississippi Enclave by attempting to raid a coal mine for precious precious energy, begin with Episode 2 http://www.technicaldifficultiespod.com/episodes/2016/4/6/ep-2-red-markets-the-reformers-session-2 Episode 00 is primarily interesting commentary and critiques on Red Markets’ beta game mechanics, with detailed comparisons to other systems. Enclave and character creation, starts in Episode 01. In addition, the Technical Difficulties Gaming Podcast plays Eclipse Phase and Call of Cthulhu. The Call of Cthulhu game, He Calls Me By the Thunder, is an original adventure set in the Civil War and being playtested for publication. All is not what it seems in this mystery.

A Darker Porpoise posted:Went with your recommendation and gave these guys a shot over the weekend and ended up binge watching all three of their main campaigns . They transition pretty well between serious moments and goofing off and the interstitial bits in The Last Stage were a really nice touch. Glad to help another person find great podcasts! Cheers. ------------------------- I know I'm very late to the party, but One Shot podcast is very good. Some criticisms, then some raving. Or perhaps the reverse. http://oneshotpodcast.com/ The One Shot podcast features players with a strong background in improv and the comedy arts playing a system for 4-5 hours. I find some of the podcasts to be hit or miss. To be frank this has nothing to do with the quality of the podcasts (consistently high) or the games. Simply when I want to listen to an actual play podcast, I prefer listening to a detailed story, rather than improv of a game with little to no preparation. I'm not a fan of pure improv in general, since without a plot or at least skeleton of a plot, an improv troupe can fall into one of several repetitive "yes-and" patterns which eat up time; and neither advance character development nor add anything to the story arc. For example, a couple yelling at each other over a trivial matter or a rendition of "Who's on First", no matter how well done does not advance the plot of a story. It just takes time away from the audience. Some of One Shot's podcasts fall into this improv cycle. Or sometimes a player decides to chew the scenery with an irrelevant NPC just to mess with the GM (Rogue Trader episode). However the following episodes do not fall into those traps and are simply amazing. Audio gold. The Dracula Dossier is GMed by none other than the creator Kenneth Hite! Listen to gut-wrenching sacrifices made in the name of humanity and revenge! Watch Dracula get confused! Also features Goon turned productive member of society GENERAL IRONICUS! http://oneshotpodcast.com/podcasts/one-shot/66-dracula-dossier-part-1/ http://oneshotpodcast.com/podcasts/one-shot/155-dracula-dossier-2-part-1/ Also tis the season since The Dracula Dossier swept the Ennies The Legend of the Five Rings is ...just fantastic. This episode could be a screen play. http://oneshotpodcast.com/podcasts/one-shot/92-legend-of-five-rings-rings-part-1/ Numenera I could not stop laughing. This is what happens when you mix a fantastic GM, Rocky Balboa, Old-Man-Bag-of-Drugs, Christopher Walken (I think?) and Sexual Tension Lady. http://oneshotpodcast.com/podcasts/one-shot/109-numenera-part-1/ Red Markets No idea how the RPPR crew kept a straight face through this episode. Never forget the Bass Pro. http://oneshotpodcast.com/podcasts/one-shot/150-red-markets-part-1/ Again, every podcast is high quality. Improv is just not my cup of tea.

Roleplaying Public Radio just released another gem. The RPPR crew had the opportunity to play Adam Scott Glancy's newest historical Call of Cthulhu game, The Wounded, this Gencon. quote:Synopsis. The horrors of the First World War did not end at the battlefield for many. Crippling injuries affected countless soldiers and civilians on both sides. In one British countryside hospital, a group of wounded soldiers begin the long journey of coming to terms with their wounds when a doctor offers them a chance at a normal life. The experimental surgery can restore missing limbs and burned skin and safely extract embedded shrapnel. It seems like a panacea for all forms of injury, but how can it possibly work? As the patients consider their options, their dreams grow strange. Their war has ended, but another one beckons… I expected a grim and gloomy gaslamp game about surviving the horrors of the Great War. I expected a team of Richard Harrows from Boardwalk Empire fighting the Mythos with less than functional bodies. I did not expect that a single die roll would pivot the whole adventure into the comedy stratosphere. Most amazing is that the adventure did not go off the rails. http://actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/2016/08/systems/call-of-cthulhu/call-of-cthulhu-the-wounded/#comments Helical Nightmares fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Aug 13, 2016 |

Another Play Better Podcast recommendation. http://playbetter.libsyn.com/lets-play-better-episode-120-in-nomine This is a one shot of In Nomine, the American adaptation of the French game which deals with players assuming the roles of angels and demons in a setting that draws heavily on the traditional Christian mythos. Think Good Omens. The podcast spotlights the very important Demon of Canapes and a Whole Foods.

theironjef posted:So I've got a regular tradgames podcast(System Mastery), but it's not actual play, it's review. That said, we get a lot of requests to do actual play, which we normally shoot down because there's only two of us and we'd need a crew. But recently, System Mastery got invited to show up on One Shot, so we took James up on it and played a game of Triniton (a sci-fi thing) with James, along with surprise guest John Rogers, the showrunner behind Leverage and the Jackie Chan Adventures. It was good times. The first two of what I assume will be three episodes are up and can be found here and here System Mastery is a great podcast. Even if you guys totally miss the mark; because Babylon 5 is a great Scifi drama, you jerks ---- Speaking of One Shot One Shot Podcast produced a three part series in the world of Exalted (White Wolf/Onyx Path), a setting that combines high fantasy anime and the heroics found in the Final Fantasy games. The world of Creation has taking it's first stumbling steps into childhood, and it is up to mortal champions of the Divine to fix the lands where petty godlings, spirits and elemental dragons still trod the Earth. http://oneshotpodcast.com/podcasts/one-shot/176-exalted/ The game master and story woven by the players was very good. It is a great introduction to the game world for those with zero background. ------ The gamemaster for the One Shot Exalted (3rd edition) podcast was Quinn Wilson. He runs his own Exalted podcast series called Swallows of the South http://swallowsofthesouth.com/ I have to be a bit critical here. Though Quinn Wilson is a just fantastic DM (listen to how he weaves little nuggets of fantasy into his location descriptions), one of the main characters in the early podcasts chose to play a character who was constantly awkward. I understand this was done for the sake of humor, but it was done constantly almost to the point of lampooning slapstick, and that style of roleplaying was not to my taste. I highly recommend you give it a chance though. ----- The next discovery is fantastic for you fans of supernatural horror and dark mysteries. The Orpheus Protocol is a game-in-development revolving around investigation of supernatural mysteries and cults, and surviving the horror uncovered therein, by Varcolac Press. The Orpheus Protocol is NOT the old White Wolf game named "Orpheus" where players are mortals who project into the ghost world. Themes do dovetail between the two products however, as they do in all occult mystery stories. http://www.orpheusprotocol.com/ The inaugural story was fantastic. Follow three intrepid researchers into the maw of a potentially doomsday cult in the party-hey-day of the carefree 1970s. What follows is gripping inner turmoil, smart play and an environment that would put Dead Space to shame. The GM is a master with words and descriptions. Fear the Dark.

hannibal posted:I know this post is a bit old, but I'm just catching up on this thread. The Total Party Kill podcast has done two campaigns in Dark Sun: Love me some psionics, Dragon Kings and defilers. Thanks for the recommendation. theironjef posted:Quinn is a buddy of ours here in San Diego, too. We're working on doing something with his show, haven't really figured out what yet. Maybe we'll just get him live on air and convince him over several episodes that Babylon 5 isn't a great show. Well I could already tell that Mr. Quinn was talented and intelligent; but you are telling me he has panache and is a snappy dresser, like all Babylon 5 fans, as well? Excellent to know! I'm looking forwards to those qualities rubbing off on you gentlemen. Anyway, listen to System Mastery's XCRAWL retrospective, where dungeon crawling gladiatorial games runs face first into the 90s. MARVEL at the tortured backstory of fantasy Earth and the reign of Ronaldus Maximus the First, or whatever. LISTEN to the smartest material component ever devised for a D&D spell. SUFFER through alternate classes that have a glimmer of coolness smothered under pages of banal suck. Throw up the horns for SYSTEM MASTERY. ---- Found another podcast I'm hooked on. Unusually for me, it's D&D. What should you expect from the Streets of Avalon? Inspiration from Thief the Dark project. Hammerites! Creepy Lamplighters! A low-fantasy urban-noir campaign focusing on rogues and hedge-wizards with fantastic sound editing. Creatively narrated combat by a core of RPG podcast veterans. Including members of the Misdirected Mark podcast, the excellent Knights of the Night, She's a Super Geek and Gaming and BS. Three episodes so far, including episode zero. http://misdirectedmark.com/category/mmproductions/wepas/ If you want to jump into the action, in media res, turn to episode one. If you want backstory before knives flash in the dark, (which I recommend) turn to episode zero. Helical Nightmares fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Jan 28, 2017 |

Yaaay Red Markets theironjef posted:Technically our AP is part of the One Shot Network, too! Remind me to yell at James about getting our links on his site. In the interim, here is a link to the long-delayed Episode 4 of Gamma Crawl X. If people haven't already given this a listen, do yourself a favor and try it. The Game Master Quinn is a genius at his craft and a master of voices. The terrible challenge of "Family Dinner" in episode 2 had me howling with laughter and squirming; it was so on point.

Found three more podcasts http://robsbasement.podomatic.com/ Rob's Basement is a Shadow of the Demon Lord actual play with Rob Schwalb the author of the game line. The podcast comes with a warning and for good reason. Steer clear if you don't want to hear about demonic spawn having floppy cocks or some players being pure as black evil. Otherwise it is pretty entertaining in an 'old school' D&D way. There are only four episodes so far and the latter two are playtests of his post-apocalyptic game. https://shadow-of-the-cabal.pinecast.co/ I was looking for another Legend of the 5 Rings Actual play podcast, and Shadow of the Cabal is exactly that. It opens with Samurai investigating a murder mystery. It has come to a close with a 51 or so episode run. High quality descriptions and roleplaying. http://spellburn.com/ Spellburn is not an actual play podcast. Rather it is a podcast dedicated to all things Dungeon Crawl Classics (and by extension, Mutant Crawl Classics as well). They have a section called "Dungeon Denizens" where they put their guests to work to generate innovative and lethal monsters.
