RPPR Actual Play

Love the Delta Green games.

I appreciate that they skip long winded character introductions that nobody cares about and jump right into the story. I also like that they keep the story moving unlike roughly 99% of the other insanely boring AP podcasts out there. However, I started with the ReMemorex episode “the rake”. After roughly 3 minutes of banter I started counting every time the GM said “Uh” or “um” From the 3 minute mark to the 9 minute mark I counted 137 times. (I may have missed a few). I skipped to the more recent episodes to see if it had improved. Sadly it has not. In fact not only have the “uh” and “um”s not improved, they have also added eating and chewing in the mic to the mix. That’s a shame. If it wasn’t like nails on a chalkboard I would have really enjoyed this one.

I love RPPR! I’ve listened for years. They play a really wide variety of games and their adventures are often really heady and well thought out. Some of their higher concept stuff - like better angels or know evil or Red Markets - is extremely fresh and creative. Can’t say enough good things about them! I recommend ep. 2 of better angels as a light start for new listeners, and any of their Delta Green stuff as a good starting point for folks who like horror. Lover in the Ice is a particularly stellar horror scenario. The Know Evil and Duality Eclipse Phase campaigns are also quite good once you’re in with the crew a bit more seriously- and Red Markets is bleak but EXCELLENT drama. RPPR is afantastic podcast that’s got a great backlog and isn’t swarmed with accouterments like most modern RPG podcasts. Highly recommend.

This podcast has range if I've ever seen it. These folk really make it fun for not only themselves but the listener too! Pros: range of games I've never even heard of, great humor, amazing collaborative story telling Cons: it can be hit or miss with audio quality, (especially the early ones) also it's hard to follow an arc that you like Overall though, probably the best actual play podcast I can think of.
