Once more unto the roll! In this actual play podcast, Cole, Tony, Chris, Frank, and a rotating guest explore and evaluate various TTRPG systems through mini campaigns and brief reviews once the dust settles. We also try to discuss and teach the mechanics along the way… with varying levels of success.
Serious stories. Slightly less serious players. Shenanigans ensue.
New episodes every other Tuesday at 5 AM Eastern.
Listen to our playthrough of Fiasco if you want some rampant silliness (with admittedly less than stellar audio), or dive right into our first campaign: Avatar Legends.
Happy Halloween! In this episode, Cole guides Lauren, Tony, Chris, and Frank through the tragic horror of Stephen Dewey's Ten Candles. Using a homebrewed module, he sets the cast atop a mountain in Germany, giving them a single purpose: get to the airbase below, and get on a plane out. As the candles start to burn, Jenny, Michael, Kristin, and Anatoly begin the treacherous journey... only to find enemies and allies alike in the nearby castle.

Avatar Legends - System Review: Better for the GM?
Cole, Chris, Tony, and Frank sit down and dissect Magpie Games' Avatar Legends system. They address the universal Powered by the Apocalypse elements, discuss the fatigue and balance system, analyze their playbooks, and finally broach the combat mechanics. One of them likes the system a bit more than the rest. Spoiler alert... check the title.

Interlude: Prequel System Review - Maybe Stick With the Cataclysm…
Cole is joined once more by Alli, Lauren, and Reid as they discuss James Quigley and Ethan Yen's tragic world building engine Prequel. It is acknowledged that there were not an ideal number of players and that the Horror may be an outlier as far as the evils are concerned... but does the system hold up?
