Patreon Games MP3 archive
by •
When the RPPR Patreon began, I ripped and converted our online games (which are saved as Youtube videos) into MP3 files so people could listen to them offline. I never received any feedback on it so I stopped doing and forgot about them. A listener asked about them recently and I remembered I was sitting on a pile of converted but unposted games. The following archive has 16 games available for download.
Don’t Cross the Stream: Reboot
by •
Netflix released Reboot: The Guardian Code, a new series based on the cult classic 90s CGI cartoon. Renee, Noah, Aaron, and I talk about the new series and how to gameify it. Who needs acting when you can just randomly pick your emotions?
After Hours: Crossover Chaos
by •
Everyone is excited about the great crossover event happening in a major fictional universe. Of course, I’m talking about the Supernatural/Scooby Doo crossover. I heard something about some crossover movie but who cares about that?
Anyway, Shaun, Tom, and I got together to make our crossover RPG characters. We used random character creation tables from different games to generate our team – from Maid to Beyond the Supernatural.

Don’t Cross the Stream – VENGEANCE: Using Drama to Fuel Combat
by •
Bridget wrote some new rules compatible with all RPGs, based on our discussion of Gantz: O to help bring more drama to the game!
Listen to Episode 3 of Don’t Cross the Stream
VENGEANCE is a set of optional rules that you can inject into basically any other Table-top Role-Playing Game system.
VENGEANCE recreates that feeling of characters having an emotional breakthrough during a tense battle, gaining a second wind and re-entering a fight as a formidable opponent. You’ve likely seen this hundreds of times in your favorite anime or action movies: despite mounting wounds, the protagonist fights to protect their friends and gains a surge of power, even though moments ago they were near death.
Don’t Cross the Stream: Infini
by •
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!
