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.

    The Witcher is a bestselling book series, video game series, Netflix original series, and ALSO a Tabletop RPG from the makers of Cyberpunk!

    102 - Making a Vault Tec Exec's Companion Who Became An Experiment in Fallout

    Now that Fallout has a TV show, it technically qualifies for Silver Screen Summer, right? Of COURSE it does! What apocalyptic hellscape could possibly be a better match for the whacky hijinks of a playable Cat character in your party? No, seriously, I've only played New Vegas and quit before I even left the first town. IS there a better fit?

    100 - Making An Agent of The Universal Cat Distribution System in Doctor Who

    Doctor Who is a British TV series that has captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the world, and as with many such series, someone tried making a TTRPG based on it as a result. We take a look at the less popular second edition of that RPG this episode! Anyway, you've heard jokes about the Cat Distribution System, but did you know it was canon to Doctor Who?

    98 - Making a Cop Who Solves Cold Cases in Mutant City Blues

    Took us a while, but we finally got around to a good ol' fashioned Gumshoe RPG from Pelgrane Press. This is Mutant City Blues, the RPG about acting out a police procedural in a world where people have developed super powers. Our cat is one of those mutants, and has invented a special new forensic technique: licking the evidence!
