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 Ross!

A little over 10 years ago, I began RPPR Actual Play. Since then, we’ve had a lot of great games. Patsy picked some of the more memorable characters I’ve played:

“In the centre, we’ve got the big boss of Role-playing Public Radio,  Ross Payton, enjoying a well-earned tot of rum from the comfort of his  brutalist mcmansion. Around him, anticlockwise from top left, we have a  few choice NPCs- Warbot 5000, the surly twitch-streamer robot from Gate  9; Balgron The Fat, the amiable but devious goblin from The New World;  Cool Rat, the super-rad mascot villain of Sucrose Park; and the sinister  Deer Hunter who terrorised Fallen Flag.

On the outside,  anticlockwise from top left, we have Sheldon Baker, Ace Reporter from  Bryson Springs, as he begins to ‘see the strings’; Hard-boiled social  worker McBain from The Haunting, grittily reviewing his new case; Agent  Provost of God’s Teeth, leaving a token of his appreciation for his  co-workers; Kowloon and Ludwig the architecture-quoting dronkey of the  Brutalists, friends to children everywhere; heroic military  engineer/newspaper editor Castor of Nagalisitu, delivering a mighty  dressing-down to a treacherous comrade; and Bartleby of Know Evil,  fighting for their life against a horrifying Exsurgent threat under the  surface of Luna.”
