    FIST: Planet FIST – Cap and Grab at Positronics – Part 1

    FIST: Planet FIST – Cap and Grab at Positronics – Part 1

    At every hour of every day on Sixaura, the soldiers of each empire are killed and reborn in an endless loop. Their dead bodies derezz, the bonds between their nanos dissolving—just in time for them to be reassembled elsewhere, fresh with the memory of death and ready to kill once again. These clone commandos do not die, do not rest, and do not age. They are duplicated forever, frozen in the same unchanging body, save a few occasional gene-edits from the top brass in order to optimize their killing potential. This is the only life they know. It is a meatgrinder without meat—a bloodbath without blood. A squad of four soldiers is sent out to capture an enemy outpost but this will be anything but a routine mission.

    Check out Planet Fist on Itch.io! This is a full conversion of the FIST rules, with new mechanics and traits.



    RPPR is currently running a Backerkit campaign for The Night Clerk, a horror rpg scenario. Back it today so we can reach those stretch goals!

    Camp Kingdom Come: Welcome to Bible Summer Camp!

    Camp Kingdom Come is a rules-light roleplaying game where players play the roles of Bible Camp Counselors during the Apocalypse. They must shepherd a group of unruly Campers through various tribulations - at least until their parents pick them up on Sunday night. I liked the rules so I gave it a shot.

Fantastic show, loads of variety and depth

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 should be actual FM radio instead...

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.

Great podcast

Great group of players who had humor and drama. The delta green games are the best of the actual plays out there
