I experienced several new means of transportation in my recent vacation, including tuk-tuks and catamarans. It made me wonder what vehicles in RPGs would work best in the real world? Aaron, Shaun, Tom, and I discuss some options. We also review:
In our first episode, Tom, Aaron, Shaun, and special guest Thad examine one of Steven Seagal’s more recent efforts: Force of Execution. It’s about, uh, crime? It’s on Netflix, if you dare want to watch it.
If you are missing Wod The Heck, I recently wrote a blog post about why we are switching shows.
A comic series about evil Next Generation Star Trek has come to my attention so we spend most of this episode dissecting it and how this can be applied to RPGs. Sleeveless swole Picard steals the Enterprise so he can go murder Klingons. In other words, he’s a murderhobo.
Shaun also reviews an adventure from Dungeon Nov/Dec 2000 about a unicorn missing its horn.
Did you know some people try to hypnotize themselves into believing they are ponies from My Little Pony? Well, I’m not going to link it. But it’s terrible and real. Aaron, Tom, Shaun, and I discuss better things those people should try to hypnotize themselves into being. We also review the following books:
Song: Guile Theme
Huge gaming cons like Gen Con are fun, but what about specialized cons? Aaron, Caleb, Tom, and I discuss some ideas we have for some unusual cons. Plus we review:
The Razing of Redshore, an adventure in Dungeon #92
Time and Time Again
Street Fighter: Contenders
Song: Dungeons and Flagons by Magma Action
Most RPGs are terrible at information design. Sections are split up for no discernible reason, key elements are hidden away in blocks of text, and indexes are non-existent or terrible. We went over 3 books to analyze why they are so bad and why game designers would do this:
Fates Worse Than Death by Brian St. Claire King
Street Fighter Player’s Guide by Andrew Lucas
Two RPPR fans and fellow podcasters, Noah and Jeb visited us a few weeks back and they brought gifts. Namely, a stack of old RPGs and Dragon magazines. Aaron, Shaun, I, and our two guests sampled a bit from these new additions to the After Hours library. It’s an eclectic mixture, to say the least.

Jason came down to Springfield during the Christmas holiday season and I managed to run a one shot of Cthulhu Dark for him and some other RPPR cast members. I’m not sure if I’ll post this to the main feed but as a special reward for backers, I’m posting it now just for you!
We’re back from PAX South 2017! Many vidya games were played, both new and old. Find out what grabbed our attention, and hear from RPPR alumni, Chris!
Happy New Year! We have a brand new After Hours to welcome 2017! Tom, Shaun, and I took our favorite post-apocalyptic RPGs with random character generation tables, deadEarth and Mutazoids, and made some characters with them. Then we discussed which team was better. If you enjoy freakish mutants with very randomized traits, then this episode is for you!
