In this episode we discuss our MOTW campaign The Uncles of Penny Dreadmill from character concepts to potential futures for the game and beyond.
Music – Silence by Audiorezout
The audio is a little rough on this one. Our recording bot’s recording didn’t quite work so I had to rely on a backup one-track OBS recording. Honestly I thought I had lost this recording too.
Enjoy and Happy New Years

The job is over and the damage done, but we had to get the gang together for one last look at Scrape, a Red Markets campaign.
While is important for a game master to have clear objectives when plotting out a campaign, it is also equally important to allow players the opportunity to fill in the gaps with content based on their decisions. In what could be called an ‘organic’ episode (we started talking till a topic developed) Adam, Crazon, David and Rob discuss how to establish player buy-in.
Note: Contrary to what the background noise might suggest, we did not record this episode in a Chuck E. Cheese.
Music: Ketsa – Love Heart
It looks like we finally made it to 2021. While we are certainly hoping for a brighter future, we can’t help but be a tad bit nostalgic about distant past of our childhoods. In this episode, Adam, Chris, Crazon, David, and Ian discuss how to bring nostalgia into your games.
Talking Points: Nostalgia, Monsters and Other Childish Things, Little Fears, Kids on Bikes
Music: Unconscious by selfpity
In preparation for an upcoming Band of Blades campaign, Joe and Patrick join Adam to discuss how to run a Forged in The Dark game. In our discussion, we explore the mechanical differences between Blades in The Dark and Band of Blades.
After four years of running an actual play podcast, we finally got around to playing Dungeons and Dragons. Since October has unofficially turned into D&D month for RPX, cast members Aaron, Ethan, and Nick regale us with their experiences both playing and running Dungeons & Dragons.
The game is over, and all the ghost dinosaurs have been put to rest (for the time being), but that doesn’t mean the party has to stop there. Join Adam, Terra and Review Cultist as we reflect on our experiences playing children in One Less Die’s actual player Little Fears mini campaign, Ectozoic Park.

Music – Children Of The Son by P C III

After finishing Elevation, the Red Markets campaign written by Sean Farris, we all got back together to discuss the experience we lovingly nicknamed ‘The Gauntlet’. Join us as we reflect on our favorite moments from Elevation. Learn how things might have played out differently had the Bread Winners made other decisions.
Elevation is a Red Markets supplement written by our game master / market Sean Farris. Elevation comes with the fully fleshed out enclave of Elevation, along with the job lines seen depicted in this actual play series.
Where did we get all those cool new toys? Why Veblen Goods, of course. Veblen Goods is a Red Markets supplement cowritten by Sean Farris and Matt Campen of The Drunk & The Ugly podcast. Veblen Goods provides players with new tools, technology, weapons, vehicles and optional rules.
You can find both Elevation and Veblen Goods at DriveThru RPG.
You may have noticed that we are playtesting new taker tough spots. Nick Schaake (Nex) created these and you can view them here.
