    Sometimes you just gotta shoot the breeze, ya know? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, it's a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

    Fiddler's Green Peculiar Parish Magazine

    Embark on a quest for the most perfect green paper! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Clint Marsh, the man behind the Fiddler's Green Peculiar Parish Magazine and many, many other zines that intersect with esoteric pursuits, genre fiction and tabletop roleplaying games. We talk about his history with RPGs, the Shrieker newsletter, the Satanic Panic, the occult, zine-making and much more! The latest issue of Fiddler's Green is on Kickstarter now! * * * Instagram?

  4. The Job

    APR 28

    The Job

    Let's get rich! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Games Omnivorous mastermind Andre Novoa about The Job: Boxset Edition! Now on Backerkit, this is the deluxe expanded edition of Andre's excellent 2023 heist game, inspired by flicks like The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven. Unlike most Games Omnivorous game products, which hew towards the OSR, The Job veers into more narrative territory, drawing inspiration from games like Apocalypse World and Dread. The result is a fast-paced, light-weight storytelling game with enough mechanical tooth to satisfy OSR-type players. Grab some 6-sided dice and knock over a bank in less that three hours! * * * Instagram? Old news. Join the Vintage RPG Newsletter! That's where all the cool kids are now!

  5. Delinquent Elementals

    APR 21

    Delinquent Elementals

    A treasure trove of counter-culture!  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Phil Hine and Rodney Orpheus about Delinquent Elementals, a massive book collecting the best material from Pagan News, the zine they ran from 1988-1992. As Pagan News' existence paralleled and lampooned the UK Satanic Panic, we talk quite a lot about that. Also on tap: a general look at the British occult scene, how pre-internet zines anticipated the internet, comic books, RPGs and the logic of invoking invoking Star Trek's Spock instead of some 16th century demon when you need a magical solution for a computer problem. * * * Delinquent Elementals is out now.

    What We're Working On

    Plan? We don't need a plan! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we make it up as we go along. We had a scheduling issue with an interview and couldn't come up with a topic on short notice, so we riffed for a bit. Stu talks about the monster book, Joseph Payne Brennan's short story "Slime" and the classic monster movie The Blob. Hambone runs down what's cooking with 321RPG, Zombie Braineaters and Crowdfund your Fucking Life. Oh, and a real live radio show gets announced! * * * Instagram? Old news.

  7. Through the Hedgerow

    MAR 31

    Through the Hedgerow

    You never know what you might find down the old straight track.  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look at Through the Hedgerow, an RPG game steeped in a perfect brew of British folklore. Play as agents of the Light, moved through time to oppose the rising Dark in a brilliant extrapolation of stories like Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising sequence, Alan Garner's work and even, maybe, a hint of Narnia. Face challenges, take frequent tea breaks, play as a giant spider impersonating a human -- what more can one ask for? * * * Instagram? Old news. Join the Vintage RPG Newsletter!

  8. Sickest Witch

    MAR 24

    Sickest Witch

    Which sick witch is the sickest witch? You! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Justin Sirois of Severed Books stops in to tell us all about the Sickest Witch RPG. Born of both a now out-of-print board game and, sorta, out of an earlier RPG, Sickest Witch has you harvesting and salting body parts of their enemies to cast horrible spells in order to have your revenge on/smash your oppressors. Perfect theming for our current moment. * * * Follow and back Sickest Witch on Kickstarter! * * * Instagram? Old news. Join the Vintage RPG Newsletter! That's where all the cool kids are now!
