After Hours: Judge’s Guild: Inferno – Part 1

We’re going to Hell! Judge’s Guild put out a module called Inferno in 1980, ostensibly based on Dante’s Divine Comedy. It’s a LOT. Caleb, Rob Stith (from the Orpheus Protocol) and Noah all followed me into this devilish scenario. We have so much to talk about that we are going to make a mini series of this journey as we could only get about halfway through the original module in this episode. There’s also a 2014 remake of the scenario that completes the entire 9 circles of Hell!

RPPR Illustrated: The Best of Caleb

Caleb is often memorable in the games he plays in and Patsy has chosen some of Caleb’s best scenes here!

Top row, left to right:

Bottom row, left to  right:

  • In Lord Of The Peaks, the expedition is nearly doomed by the  terrible luck of their demolitions expert;
  • Half-off of Fallen Flag walks  out into the wastes one last time with a head full of ghosts and a belt  full of grenades;
  • Operation Opal Elk comes to a fiery end as the  agents fail to store their nail bombs sufficiently far away from their  flamethrower.

Don’t Cross the Stream: Infini

Sci-fi films can be about big ideas, but sometimes that isn’t enough. Infini tries to be about some big ideas but the execution leaves much to be desired. Bridget, Caleb, Fae, Thad, and I discuss the movie and our ideas for mining gaming fodder out of it. Things like random tables for doing stupid things in space, to mini games about pretending to be human even when you’re secretly a goo alien!

Don’t Cross the Stream: Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe

Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe is a weird movie. It is ostensibly a Chinese summer blockbuster sci-fi action movie, but it’s more like 3 or 4 movies in one. There’s aliens, kaiju, the Chinese Red Army’s secret archeological unit, an Elvis impersonator who sings about Genghis Khan, dramatic shifts in tone, and undead werewolves (I think).

Bridget, Caleb, Fae, Thad, and I all watched the movie and analyzed it for the show. We also figure out how to turn this mess into a playable game. Up next is a playable mini-game by Bridget!
