Full Metal RPG

Okay so, I guess when I originally uploaded this, there was no music track. 114 people downloaded it before I caught the error, this is why you listen to every mp3 you post kids. ANYWAY! Here's the whole kit and kaboodle! Enjoy!

Ah yes, it's that time of year, Christmas thoughts about roleplaying games. Merry Christmas everyone! What a weird year. Let's celebrate together!

I mean, it's still Monday in Arizona so you can hardly say it's not a Monday release! A quick episode this week walking you through Raven, a horror RPG i bought on a whim and my first session with Twilight 2000. Thanks for listening!

We're back! This episode was recorded an entire month ago and here it is!  Today I'm joined by David Larkins, line editor of Pendragon by Chasoium Games. We talk Pendragon and murder hobos of course, but we also talk about game design, context, marketing, and our favorite topic: CAPITALISM!  This is a great conversation with lots of awesome details. I hope you have as much fun listening to it, as I did rediscovering this material a month later!

Thanks for tuning in to the latest episode of Death by Roleplaying! In this Ep I catch people up with what's been going on with me, share some of my thoughts on Venger's exit from the RPG industry and get into my prep for a new Twilight 2000 campaign. I suspect you are going to be hearing about Twilight 2000 a lot on upcoming eps, but I've been wrong before! Get at me in the Discord, see you slappies there!

Well, here it is everyone! 3 weeks late, it's the second half of my conversation with Richard about boxed set! In this episode we have Dragonbane, Dune: Chronicles of the Imperium, and Soulbound: Age of Sigmar. So three interesting boxes with very different approaches to roleplaying! Check it out!

Buzzkill is back! Back again. This time we're talking about boxed sets. That's right, if you are an old-head like Brendan you remember RPG boxed sets from the good old days. And they're back too!  Richard and Brendan go through 6 boxed sets from new games, currently available and see how the format holds up. We've got Twilight Imperium, Cyberpunk Red, The One Ring, Runequest, and Pendragon. This is part one of a two part episode, so tune back in in two weeks to hear the EPIC FINALE!

What's up cultists? We're back with our third installment of Death by Roleplaying!  In this episode, Brendan waxes nostalgic about Gen Con and get's a bit tetchy with the concept of Murder Hobos. Where did they come from? Was D&D always about murder hoboing across the landscape? Or did institutional change alter the game play loop from within? It's a multi-decade exegesis of the subject matter and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! Stop by our Discord and let your voice be heard!

What up everyone! It's a brand-new episode about Vampire! Brendan is joined by podcast luminary Mike from Darker Days Radio and the two get down to brass tacks about what the World of Darkness is, was, and where it's going. Additionally, they take a dive into The Crimson Gutter, the latest Chronicle book release from Renegade Games!  Check out our links: You can find Full Metal RPG through the various links below: https://linktr.ee/fullmetalrpg Also you can support my RPG writing here: Die Dunkelelfen Chroniken: https://flayedmanbooks.itch.io/ Summer of Strange: https://solemn-vale.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/495558 And check in with our comrades at Darker Days Radio: http://podcast.darker-days.org/

What's up cultists?! Brand new episode of Death by Roleplaying coming at you! In this Ep I talk how I prep for a campaign and why it takes me so long between the original campaign idea and getting it to the table. On the way I talk about Old School Essentials and one of my favorite subjects, vampires, vampires....VAMPIRES!  So come check it out! I hope that you find something good in this Ep!

One chapter in the Full Metal RPG saga closes, and a new one begins.  It's Richard's last episode! (As host). Brendan and Richard sit down and talk IRL about Full Metal RPG, role playing games, Dungeons & Dragons (of course), and what game store life is like in 2024. It's a surreal experience as Richard leaves the show and Brendan returns.  Probably forgetting something about how this is done, but we'll just have to get better at it going forward! Boosh!
