RPPR Actual Play

The Quiet Year is not exactly a role playing game, but after I saw its great IndieGoGo promotional video, I knew I had to give the game a shot. Recently the stars finally aligned so that we could give the game a try. As you will hear, we created a fairly unique narrative for a small village struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, after an event called "The Great Separation." Since the game only allows for up to four players, we'll have to do at least one more game with the other members of the RPPR crew. Since the map is a central element of the game, I've created a PDF of it that you can download. Check it out!

The finale to the second tier of the New Arcadia campaign is here! All secrets have been laid bare. The truth behind Nemesis and its ancient battle against the Remnant has been revealed and not a moment too soon. The end of the universe is extremely fucking nigh. The Heroes of New Arcadia must do battle against a cosmic evil from beyond time and space and while they have the aid of almost everyone on Earth, they have no idea if it will be enough. Who will live? Who will die? Find out in the conclusion to the global tier of the Heroes of New Arcadia!

The Earth Tier begins with a bang! The Firewall team moves in to finally meet with agents of Manjappa, the mastermind behind Know Evil, at the Hotel California, one of the most dangerous and chaotic habitats in the system. The agents pick up a new agent, Quoth, a Xeno expert, as they head in, but they quickly find out Quoth may be in over his head. Will his help be enough for this delicate operation? They must bring the unique artifact stolen from the Lunar bank to lure Manjappa's agents in but then ambush them to get a lead on Manjappa himself. This balancing act will push the team to their limits and it's possible the entire operation ends in this mission.

Better Angels is a an upcoming One Roll Engine role playing game from Greg Stolze and Arc Dream. It's currently in playtesting and we were fortunate enough to get our hands on the draft. Caleb ran the playtest scenario so we could get familiar with the game before we dive into a campaign. In this scenario, we all play supervillains in an existing group of bad guys, out to rule the American Midwest with an iron fist....in theory. However, after a horrifically violent outing at an Occupy rally and a fight with a 'superhero', we get a job offer from another supervillain. The job isn't what it seems though so will our protagonists find out the truth behind the scheme and what will they do about it?

In this episode of the Heroes of New Arcadia, the end draws near! As the truth behind Nemesis and Ragnarok is revealed, the Heroes of New Arcadia must deal with its ramifications. Aliens, gods, and beings of unimaginable cosmic power each seek to fulfill their own agendas, regardless of the consequences. The Collective and the governments of the world also seek to use this crisis to grab more power. It is clear the fate of the world, perhaps the entire universe, is at stake. Can a handful of mistmatched self-made heroes possibly stop the doom that grows ever more certain every minute? Find out what happens in the penultimate episodes of the global tier of the Heroes of New Arcadia!

Synopsis: When I was out of the country on vacation in China, Know Evil continued on without me. In this special one shot, a group of individuals touched by the agents investigating the Know Evil Conspiracy have all been recruited by Firewall. Proxy Blind has a found a lead but doesn't want to send the primary team to investigate it. Instead, the proxy takes a motley crew of damaged people and sends them into the fray to a distant habitat.

Find out in this special annual one shot of Know Evil!

In this special one shot of Call of Cthulhu run on Halloween 2012, Caleb puts a few of us through a temporally-challenged nightmare. When a few children at a normal Sunday school encounter a horrific monster beyond their comprehension, their stories are dismissed by adults, despite the carnage the creature causes. Little do they know that the horror will never leave them, as the creature haunts them in a way they will never expect. Can these survivors find a way to fight the thing from beyond time and space or will they fall victim to it? All this and trick or treaters make random appearances through the episode!

In this episode, the Heroes of New Arcadia return to earth and find out everyone has learned of the doomsday asteroid and its destruction. To say it causes a stir might be a bit of an understatement but the Heroes have no time to ponder the ramifications of their actions because the superhuman convention is in town! Thousands of self-empowered humans, aliens, and magical beings have ventured to New Arcadia to talk shop, trade, show off, and party! Of course, the federal authorities have their own plans in motion as well. Can the Heroes balance the chaos of the convention with the machinations of the government? What other trouble is in store for them? Find out as the global tier draws closer to an end!

As we approach the conclusion of the Know Evil campaign, each episode will be accompanied by a portrait of a Firewall agent. Our first portrait is Max, drew's ill-fated Ultimate security guard. In this episode of the Know Evil campaign, the Firewall team prepares to leave the scum swarm, but not before doing last mission. In order to secure transportation to a remote habitat and acquire some equipment, the team agrees to assassinate a heavily defended war criminal in an isolated spacecraft. Of course the target is guarded by a crack squad of ultimate mercenaries and the spacecraft is trapped. But the Firewall team is nothing if not determined. Bullets and nanoswarms will fly in the blood opera of the Scum Swarm Tier! Speaking of violent games, check out the relaunch of Raillery, a video game actual play podcast starring Ross and other RPPR regulars!

This one shot scenario was inspired by the critically acclaimed video game, Lone Survivor. In a bleak, post-apocalyptic city, a group of survivors huddle in a broken down apartment building, including a doctor, a thief, and a cop. Each is immune to the plague that killed or mutated everyone else in the city. Food is dwindling down and the roaming creatures are drawing closer. The few survivors still able to move around on their own have to work together to find supplies and a way out of the apartment building. But can they overcome the monsters roaming the halls and the terrifying secrets lurking in the building? What is the mystery behind the green, blue, and red pills? Is the apocalypse even real? Find out in this special one shot of Fear Itself!

A few months ago, Dan offered to run a Star Wars game using Wild Talents and Star ORE, along with a few other house rules. It only lasted two sessions but they were fun! So, to provide some holiday cheer, I present to you the Ballad of Kevin Starchaser (and his friends). They have a spaceship and make poor life decisions. Also: Star Wars.

In this episode, the Heroes of New Arcadia travel into deep space to stop a massive asteroid from destroying Earth, a mission they have put off for a while. If the asteroid reaches Earth, it will surely destroy all life on the planet. The heroes know that the asteroid did not become a threat on its own - someone or something has altered its course. Changing the asteroid's path will be perilous, but what other threats lie in wait for the Heroes of New Arcadia? Find out in this action-packed episode!

The Firewall team draws close to an end of its time on the scum swarm but there is much work yet to be done. Existential threats, war criminals, and the swarm's leaders all threaten the team's operation. Furthermore, each member of the team is personally challenged by their own choices. How much more can they compromise to make sure their mission is a success? As they face the monsters that lurk in the shadows, can these isolated Firewall agents be sure that they haven't been corrupted as well? Perhaps by taking down a threat to all of transhumanity, they can redeem themselves. Or not. Find out what the threat is and if it is stopped in this episode!

Hotline Miami is a mindfuck of a video game and after beating it, I realized it would fit in the world of the Cthulhu mythos. Rampant violence, madness, the blurring of hallucinations with reality, a lack of meaning in a cold, bleak universe, and hordes of goons to kill! The emphasis on masks in Hotline Miami makes it perfect as part of the Hastur/King in Yellow mythos, so I started there. Of course, I didn't tell any of the players this before I started the scenario. See how long it takes them to figure out what's going on. Also, this scenario is notable for a a few twists, especially when it comes to Tom and Aaron. Even if you've beaten the game, you'll won't know what's coming! read more about this scenario on my blog!

In this playtest of a Gencon scenario written by Aaron, a group of kids look into a mystery and stumble across a time traveling conspiracy of Men in Black and even more sinister foes! When a friendly monster disappears, a group of kids and their monster buddies look for their friend. Their search takes them to a junkyard...on the edge of Forever. Well, I could post more, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Does anyone even read these things? I don't know. The important thing is that Aaron ran a great game.

The German occupation force wishes the murder solved quickly and without incident. To that end, they've assembled an unlikely task force of Belgians, Americans, and Germans.

I picked up the scenario Invasive Procedures at Gencon this year and I ran it for some of the RPPR crew as a 3 part game. I've decided to post the games as a build up to Halloween. I think you'll enjoy these episodes. From the scenario's introduction: "The kids all say Our Lady’s Hospital is haunted. You can see why, when you look at it, that big gloomy pile of staring windows and rusting beds. They should have torn the place down years ago, instead of letting it linger on like this. I’d hate to be a patient there. They send you there to die. You are a patient in an old, rambling hospital. Part of it is shut down, part of it lies in decay. The equipment is out of date, the staff are unmotivated and the whole place reeks of disinfectant, death and seventy years of despair. The hospital has ghosts and spirits walking the halls but they are the least of your worries. You should be afraid of what comes out at night. You should be afraid of what makes the ghosts flee."

In this episode, the Firewall team finds itself in a delicate situation. After a botched raid on a group of snuff XP producers, the team is forced to undergo the justice system of the anarchist scum swarm. This turns out to be a rather complex political challenge, as the team must win over as many of the factions as possible in order to stay on the swarm. Of course, even a scum swarm has some leaders, like the security chief, Singh, who wants the team gone. But even as the trial goes on, each agent must carry on with their work, including dealing with multiple potential existential threats at once. Can Bartleby, Preston and Feiyin win the anarchist trial of the century? Find out in Know Evil episode 18! News: If you're a fan of former RPPR regular Cody, check out his new Kickstarter, Noir City!

Last year I ran an improvised game of Eclipse Phase for RJ, Aaron, and Drew. Since I had little time to prep, we used pregenerated characters (with some customization) and a plot I came up with fairly quickly. Dead Run is about a Firewall team sent to Earth to pick up a survivor and then check out a potential anti-TITAN weapon detected near the Cheyenne Mountains. Will they survive the horrors? Find out in Dead Run!

Inspired by METACHAOS by Alessandro Bavari. This episode dates back from last year's Halloween but I had forgotten about it until today so I decided to share with you all now. A group of New Yorkers are lured overseas by a human trafficking syndicate for a sinister purpose - to be thrown into a mysterious structure known only as the Construct. The rules of reality are seemingly suspended inside but there is a dark logic at work. Two alien intelligences are at war. Can this group of unlikely survivors figure out how to escape the Construct and their captors?

Check out the Base Raiders website to preview the next major RPPR project! The Heroes of New Arcadia have righted many wrongs and saved many lives but no good deed goes unpunished forever. Their enemies launch a raid on their unprotected base, resulting in a major fight that pushes the group to their limits. After the battle, they decide to strike back but first they have to determine which of their many enemies attacked them and how they can best get revenge. Find out who their mystery foe is in this episode!

In this episode of Know Evil, the Firewall team pursues multiple agendas as they attempt to blend in with the scum swarm society. SAIRAC, the AGI, must learn to become more human in order to avoid detection when they leave the relative safety of the swarm. Bartleby must fulfill several Firewall missions. Gerrard has a chance to learn the truth of his own past on Earth. All the while, the team is pursued by their enemies, both personal and otherwise. As things start to go awry, the team decides to raid a group of criminals as part of a Firewall mission. Of course the raid does not go well...

At Gencon this year, we got to play a game of Shadows of Esteren, as one of the game's translators was nice enough to run it for us. While we did not have time to fully complete the scenario, we all had a great time playing the game. A group of amnesiac travelers find themselves trapped in a strange building, beset by enemies on all sides. Even though they don't know their own names, they will have to band together if they hope to survive and escape the wretched place. Find out what nightmares lurk in the Shadows of Esteren. Please note this is a con game, so it is noisier than normal.

A group of insomniacs with desperate lives find themselves in the Mad City, battling its nightmarish citizens in order to escape and possibly find a way to better their own lives. But can these broken survivors find the power within themselves to succeed? How useful is the power to have your life narrated by a disembodied voice? This two part adventure was recorded over a year ago and was previously part of the Killsplosion ransom preview Actual Plays.

The new tier of the Know Evil campaign begins! In order to hide out after the daring bank heist, the Firewall team retreats to the relative safety of The Stars Our Destination, a scum swarm that happened to be nearby. After ditching their weapons, the team gets a rare chance to rest and plan their next move. They have a chance to research the object retrieved from the bank safety deposit vault, catch up with their personal lives, and perform some side missions for Firewall. Of course, there are threats hidden in the swarm, waiting to strike out at them. If you enjoy this tier, you should get a copy of The Stars Our Destination and read up on this scum swarm! You can also check out the newcomer's packet in this post on the RPPR forums.

From Dennis Detwiller's Tumblr: “A Victim of the Art” is a Delta Green scenario set in the fictional town of Glenridge, Long Island. The investigators play Delta Green agents and/or friendlies brought in to solve a series of grisly murders which have rocked the small, rich, seaside community. The killer is not human – but the perpetrator is. A PDF of the scenario is available at the Tumblr page.

In this double length episode, the Heroes of New Arcadia deal with many challenges. The base of the Martyr's father, The Samaritan, has been found. But in order to get into the base, one of the heroes decides to make a bargain with a darker power. This begins an odyssey into the lower planes. Meanwhile, the Heroes must deal with Mayhem, a new villain with unusual superpowers and murderous intentions.

Synopsis: The Firewall team has planned and prepared enough. It is time to pull off the most daring heist in the history of the solar system.

News: Please vote for Role Playing Public Radio as Best Podcast in the Ennie Awards! The last day of voting is July 29. Thanks for your support! Synopsis: The more I read about the London Olympics and the prohibitive security measures taken, like missile launchers installed on the roofs of apartment buildings, the more it sounds like a cyberpunk dystopia. And to cap it all off, there is literally a pre-arcology called The Shard that just opened in London. So I did what any self-respecting nerd would do. I added zombies. Enjoy.

Special: Download the planning documents used by the RPPR group to plan the bank heist. Synopsis: Robbing a bank is unheard of in the age of Eclipse Phase. The Erato bank is as heavily guarded as a military installation, with dozens of armed drones, guards, security systems and AGI infosec specialists protecting it. However, the Firewall team must retrieve an item from a safety deposit box in order to continue their investigation of Manjappa and the source of the Know Evil virus. But a bank robbery is no easy thing to plan. Furthermore, Firewall has to authorize this mission first, which requires a meeting of the proxies.

The second tier of the Heroes of New Arcadia campaign begins! After recovering from their epic battle with the Syndicate, the heroes have new threats on the horizon.

In this final episode of the Slender Man campaign, the investigators have to deal with a threat at a chemical plant in the Tanner Neighborhood. The battle will be deadly but they may have a few aces up their sleeves. This was the last session we played of the campaign. I admit I didn't have an end game planned and I made the mistake of throwing in too many elements to make the game work, I think. If I had kept it a Hunter/Changeling game it might have worked better, but adding in vampires and prometheans because they were cool wasn't a good idea. However, I did have fun with this game and hope you liked it, even though it was run during the summer of 2010 (as you can tell by the references made in the game). The Moon fairy tale mentioned in this campaign.

In this episode, the investigators find the Grey Mansion and explore it to learn more about the families. They also have to deal with Little Red Riding Hood and her creator. As the mysteries of the city become deeper and darker, will the heroes ever find a way out?

Each family held a part of an artifact of great power but when they misused it, everyone suffered a terrible fate. In order to stop the Slender Man, the investigators must find the four pieces. One piece is in the Tanner neighborhood, and a strange little girl is more than they realized. What secrets does she hold and is an enemy or ally?

In this episode, the investigators are drawn to a goth concert held in an abandoned insane asylum. To learn more about Slender Man and the secrets that will be key to stopping him, they must find the artist hosting the concert and learn what they know. But it won't be easy. The artist has a few surprises of her own.
