We hope you're not here to learn character creation in new roleplaying systems, because here, we're all about breaking rules to adapt the character creator to let us play as a basic, run-of-the-mill cat. We accept no cop-outs, we don't acknowledge Homebrew materials, and we... very rarely come close to a pure and simple feline, but we do have fun along the way! Join us every other Wednesday to see what RPG we try to learn next! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    83 - Making Cat Cop, The Cop That's Just A Cat, in Straight To VHS

    Hiyah! For this installment of Action Fiction Autumn, we looked at a little game called Straight to VHS by Lost Cat Games. We made Cat Cop. She's exactly what she sounds like. She's a cat.

    82 - Making a Fast-Learning Assassin in Action 12 Cinema

    Action 12 Cinema by The RPG Academy is a little different from the kind of game we'd normally do on this show, but it's Action Fiction Autumn, and it just called to me! Also I think you'll forgive us when you hear all about Australian Mist, the hit new action flick from up and coming Australian director [insert audience member name here], who brings us a story about a cat who was trained to kill from birth, and is now beginning to grapple with what that means...

    81 - Making a Teleporting Support Fighter in Panic At The Dojo Feat. Vel Mini

    Vel Mini graced us with a supervised early look at Panic at the Dojo's second edition, which may actually be out now, to help us make a cat that fights by teleporting around, offering support to its allies, and slowly wearing down its opponents!

    80 - Making A Barbarian Raised By Raccoons Feat. ALiteralRaccoonVT

    Pathfinder has been one our listeners have wanted for a while, that we've been too scared to try because of the character sheet. UNTIL NOW! We brought on Ayl, a Vtuber with experience in Pathfinder Actual Plays to help us get through this, and she helped us make our most feral feline yet!

    79 - Making a Friendly Widow With A Big Family in Ironsworn

    Ironsworn by Shawn Tomkin is an RPG about perilous quests and difficult vows, where every bit of progress is marked by the costs it took to reach it. Even knowing the struggles, the cat we made this episode MUST see her husband's ashes spread atop Mt. Mitten - she swore a vow to see it done in her lifetime, after all!

    77 - Making an Edgelord Student/Knight in Fabula Ultima Feat. Chris Longhurst

    Fabula Ultima is a JRPG-Inspired Tabletop RPG by Need Games! While I highly doubt it's what they had in mind, we found we could make a cat as a Knight/College Student without breaking a single rule!

    76 - Making a MOBA Addict Renegade in Tournament Arc

    Tournament Arc is a GM-less RPG by Biscuit Fund Games about acting out your own sports anime! Or really, whatever tournament you can imagine. It could realistically be used to play out the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, Blue Lock, or (ugh) the Chunin Exams in Naruto! We used it to make a cat that plays too much Pokemon Unite!
