Thanks to Laura for the art! The end is upon us! The Fiendish Four have tracked down the true villain and have discovered his dastardly plan. The question is: can they stop him without damning themselves in the process? Between the governor's security, the demonic staff, and the true mastermind of the plot, the Four have their work cut out for them.

In 1928, in York County Pennsylvania, two men murdered another because they believed they were being hexed. The crime caught the attention of the country, as many were astounded to discover that some still believed in witches and curses in the 20th century. Of course, the reality was far darker than even the authorities ever realized.

The troubles of the Fiendish Four never end! Their actions have attracted the attentions of their angelic counterparts, who can pose more danger than any rival demonically possessed superperson.

The school year is over halfway complete, yet the problems of the Fiendish Four never let up!

Find out in this action packed episode!

Tom steps up to the plate to run yet another game of Call of Cthulhu. He's calling it Desert Heist, but I write the show notes so it's going up as Payday.

No, it's the other thing, where there are tons of complications and twists. Enjoy!

General Noxia Thackarry orders our intrepid heroes to recruit the Palm Pirate fleet for a mission to cut Manta's supply lines, but how much are they will to sacrifice for their corpse-y homeland? Bone cannons, stabtopuss, and halfing gladiatorial fights all await in this high seas episode of The Colossus Archipelago!

The conflict between the Fiendish Four and the Brands of Justice heats up! Taking down a group of hardened corporate-backed 'heroes' will take every bit of cleverness the Four can manage. Finding out their weaknesses and secrets and setting up an ambush to take them down might work, but only if the team can pull it together. Given the track record of the Four, it may be too much for them to handle. On the other hand, chloroform is an awfully useful substance...

I've seen Minmaxers, like the Power gamers that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a railroader. You have a right to quit the game. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what GMing means. Edition Wars! Killer GMing has a face, and you must make a friend of Invincible NPCs and unbeatable traps. Horror and moral dilemmas are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies...I watched a flail snail crawl along the edge of a vorpal sword. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a +5 magical weapon . . . and surviving.

In this special one shot (technically a gaiden game to an upcoming campaign) and first use of the new Zoom H2N recorder, the RPPR crew returns to Eclipse Phase! Instead of being sentinels investigating a mystery, this adventure focuses on an erasure squad, one of Firewall's tactical assault teams. A rare opportunity has presented itself to take out a facility held by exhumans. However, Firewall did not have time to send in one of its experienced teams. They assembled a new erasure squad with whatever operatives were available at the time.

When I was in China, I met up with some RPPR listeners and ran a game of Call of Cthulhu for them. I was fascinated by the rise of Ghost Cities in China, so I decided to run a one shot set in one. Three investigators hired by a western hedge fund head out to Inner Mongolia to assess a newly built city, which is oddly called July Park, as a potential investment opportunity. The investigators find more than they could have imagined but will they survive long enough to understand what they have seen? Please note that this episode was recorded on my phone instead of the usual recorder, so the quality isn't quite as good. I had a blast running the game so I think you guys will still enjoy it.

In the distant future, Mars is the home of transhumanity, while earth is a ruined wasteland. Most of the population are corporate wage slaves and are only placated by vapid entertainment produced by hypercorp-contracted celebrities. These musicians, actors, and athletes live under a system not unlike the Hollywood studio system of old. They have money, influence, and an adoring entourage of lackeys but they have little control over their own lives. Gossip bloggers and studio executives manipulate the stars like puppets. Paparazzi and obsessive fans stalk them night and day. However, a ticket on Dr. Felonious Nova's Ark Ship out of the solar system has opened up. When you're a nearly immortal but incredibly jaded and burned out executive or celebrity, a way out of the rat race and into annals of history as a hero is worth more than anything. The ticket will be given to someone at Dr. Nova's party. Yes, this is a Dirty World game set in the Eclipse Phase universe. All hail RPG schizophrenia!

They have little but their own lives to risk, but they won't stop them from finding out what lurks in the dark heart of the city.

The Fiendish Four plan and execute their first major heist! Robbing banks is so lame and not as profitable as ransoming landmark buildings, like a certain major brewery located in their home city. Even though the villains claim to be evil, they don't want to cause too damage. After all, the ransoming is just to raise enough money to save the school. But when you get amateur civilians imbued with demonic superpowers, each egged on by literal inner demons, the situation becomes slightly more...chaotic than planned.

So this is a game that exists. That I bought at Gencon last year. And decided to run. And the other players agreed to play. This is now a thing.
