Nicky and Eric do their best to imitate a highly trained assassin with pickup lines in an episode all about Hitman: Blood Money. Hitman: Blood Money is a stealth game developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive. It was released in May 2006 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Xbox 360. The story follows cloned assassin Agent 47's efforts to bring down the Franchise, a rival contract killing organization that is threatening his employers.Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc.Follow us on  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Credits:Nicky SmithEric LuedtkeMusic by Mark Spurlock and Eric LuedtkeReferences:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitman:_Blood_Moneyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitman_(franchise)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IO_Interactive

What do you get when you mix 40 years of Dungeons & Dragons lore, a 288-page setting book, and three podcasters who can't agree on how to pronounce "Myth Drannor"? Chaos. Pure, lore-filled, map-crossing, Elminster-cheese-eating chaos. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew dives headlong into Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn, a sourcebook that's equal parts nostalgia trip and travel brochure for DMs who think "Sword Coast" is just too mainstream. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, hosts Tyler Kamstra, Randall James, and Ash Ely crack open the 288-page Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn sourcebook from Wizards of the Coast, exploring what's new, what's reimagined, and what's just plain weird in the most iconic D&D setting of all time. Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun (affiliate link) The crew discusses how the book merges setting material and short adventures, offering 51 one-shots that span the breadth of Faerûn, from the frozen wastes of Icewind Dale to the desert empires of Calimshan, and even the Fey-touched Moonshae Isles. Along the way, they highlight new DM tools, renown systems, and bastion support, while poking fun at typos, timeline contradictions, and the ever-mysterious fate of Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3. The review covers: How Adventures in Faerûn expands beyond the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide to become a true campaign-scale setting book. 51 new adventures—mini-campaigns that span levels 1–13 across multiple regions. Deep dives into the Dalelands, Icewind Dale, Calimshan, and the Moonshae Isles, with highlights on lore, adventure hooks, and design philosophy. The new renown and bastion systems, adapted for Faerûn's cultures and factions. Smart mechanical updates for survival horror (Icewind Dale) and environmental challenges (Calim Desert lightning storms). A surprising technological twist in Calimshan, where "mechanical wonders" push the setting toward Eberron-style magitech. Philosophical debates on epic vs. heroic fantasy, timeline sanity, and whether the word "wonk" is, in fact, a real word. Key Takeaways A True Return to the Realms: Adventures in Faerûn successfully modernizes the Forgotten Realms setting for the 2024 ruleset while honoring 40+ years of D&D lore. Massive Replay Value: With 51 one-shot adventures and regional micro-campaigns, this book can sustain countless play sessions. DM-Friendly Design: The addition of DM Toolboxes, renown tables, and bastion options helps DMs run localized adventures or full-scale journeys across the continent. Lore for Every Taste: Whether you love the snowy peril of Icewind Dale, the sizzling intrigue of Calimshan, or the mythic eco-fantasy of the Moonshae Isles, there's a region tailored to your campaign style. Respectful Revisions: The update smartly removes dated elements (like Calimshan's old slavery lore) and replaces them with creative world-building and inclusive modernization. New Adventuring Philosophies: Players are encouraged to embrace "main character energy"—epic fantasy with unique character backstories tied to Faerûn's iconic legacy. Tyler Still Can't Spell: The first typo in the book arrives in the opening sentence—and the RPGBOT crew finds that deeply relatable.

Despite any gripes with Xbox this year, there's no denying that 2026 presents a fun challenge for them. Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Halo, and Gears Of War E-Day are all slated to drop next year. However, a new wrinkle has been introduced in the ambitious RPG, Clockwork Revolution, which hails from inXile Entertainment. After a seven minute trailer from this summer's showcase, we felt this thing had to be ready to go soon. Sadly, the RPG titan tempered our expectations when the trailer ended with the familiar statement from its initial reveal: "Coming in due time." Well, if a LinkedIn profile is to be believed, Clockwork Revolution may join the fray of a busy year for the "biggest publisher in gaming." Naturally, we hone in on GTA 6 which creates a splash radius so large that every publisher will be avoiding them for the fall. How Xbox navigates this will be interesting as we have yet to consider overdue titles like State Of Decay 3 and third party deals. Buckle up, friends! It's going to be a wild ride.

You ever look at your sword, then at the wizard's spellbook, and think "wait a minute, why does their magic missile hit harder than my greatsword?" Well, friends, today we fix that. We're diving deep into the art of the Fighter: the tank, the tactician, the unsung hero of every adventuring party. Sharpen your blades, tighten your greaves, and prepare to discover why hitting things really, truly is an art form. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives head-first into one of tabletop RPGs' most versatile and beloved classes: the Fighter. From mastering combat maneuvers to optimizing subclasses like Champion, Battlemaster, and Eldritch Knight, Tyler, Randall, and Ash break down what makes Fighters the cornerstone of Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder 2e alike. They cover how to build effective martial characters, balance offense vs. defense, and add flavor to roleplay beyond just swinging a sword. Whether you're a new player building your first character or a veteran min-maxer chasing the perfect attack roll, this episode will help you unleash your inner warrior and make every round of combat feel legendary. Key Takeaways Fighters are deceptively complex — easy to start, endlessly deep to master. Subclass choice defines flavor and playstyle, from the straightforward Champion to the tactical Battlemaster or arcane Eldritch Knight. Action economy is king — Fighters excel at leveraging extra attacks and bonus actions effectively. Feat selection matters — learn when to go Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, or Dual Wielder. Roleplay opportunities abound — even "simple" Fighters can have rich motivations and heroic depth. Pathfinder 2e Fighters get strong defensive options and customizable feats that reward strategic planning. Optimization tip: balance Strength/Dexterity investment with survivability; raw numbers aren't everything. Team synergy makes Fighters shine—working with spellcasters and support characters amplifies their battlefield control. Join the RPGBOT Patreon Love what you hear?

THIS EPISODE Ludlov finally meets his true enemy up close... ----more---- ABOUT THE STORY The Hounds of Hübschdorf (formerly called 'Grauwald's Game') is an epic fantasy audiobook by Audio Epics that has been released on Halloween, since it has serious dark fantasy and grimdark vibes. This brand new Witch Hunter Tale is the direct prequel to Witch Hunter. If you like a dark adventure story you'll probably enjoy this grim journey in the original fantasy setting of Hruda, inspired by everything we love: RPG settings like the Old World from Warhammer fantasy, eighties fantasy movies and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth (amongst others).   PLOT SUMMARY When three Witch Hunters fail to return from a routine investigation, Master Ludlov and Initiate Tolfmann find themselves in a small village near the woods. While investigating the strange disappearance of their Brethren, it becomes obvious the mayor is not so keen on their arrival, and the villagers seem to prefer the distraction of the Graunacht festivities to their nosing around. When their inquest reveals a dark mystery involving evil magic and undead, Ludlov faces the true cause of the threat in a place more disturbing than he could have imagined.   WANT TO SUPPORT US?

After five years, we're heading back to Thedas. In the first episode of our feature-length Dragon Age: The Veilguard retrospective, we're sorting through a ton of conflicting feelings. We talk about the RPG's reported development struggles, getting used to being in Rook's shoes, our feelings on the series' hard pivot into an action RPG, and much, much more. Today is Dragon Age Day, so we're uploading this episode a little earlier than planned. We'll be picking up our regular biweekly cadence at the beginning of 2026, and if you want early access to episodes, you can get them by becoming a patron. http://patreon.com/normandyfm Follow us on Bluesky: Normandy FM: @normandyfm Eric: @seamoosi Ken: @shepardcdr

Off the Deep End is off the chain this week with their examination of Obsidian's often-forgotten RPG classic, Tyranny. Braden, Chris, and Adam take the long way around to discuss the game's strong writing, worldbuilding, and rules lawyer-ing, while also acknowledging the part where it's an Obsidian game and therefore is buggy and clearly unfinished! If you can tell which episodes have an outline and which ones don't, you'll be more than able to by the end of this one! I'm not sorry! Where's my New Vegas critical reevaluation of Tyranny, huh?

You know that moment when your fighter drops their sword, pulls a crossbow, reloads, drinks a potion, and still has the audacity to say "I attack"? Yeah, this episode's for you. The RPGBOT crew tackles the ancient art of drawing a weapon, a rule so universally ignored that half your table just gasped realizing it has rules. Join Tyler, Randall, and Ash as they descend into the action-economy abyss to figure out when, how, and why your adventurer is technically unarmed. Join the RPGBOT Patreon Want to listen ad-free, catch live recordings, and watch Ash slowly lose his sanity as Randall invents new ways to break Pathfinder 2e? Join the RPGBOT Patreon today. You'll support our work and unlock behind-the-scenes chaos, exclusive Q&A sessions, and bonus content for game masters and players alike. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, Tyler Kamstra leads Randall James and Ash Ely on an unexpectedly deep exploration of the rules and philosophy of drawing a weapon across Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e, Pathfinder 1e, Pathfinder 2e (Remaster), and D&D 5e. The crew debates whether drawing weapons adds realism, tension, or just unnecessary math to the game. Along the way, they uncover the shocking truth that Pathfinder 2e's remaster quietly changed the Interact action, making it possible to swap items in one action without littering the battlefield with dropped swords. They also revisit old edition quirks like Base Attack Bonus (BAB), Quick Draw feats, reload mechanics, ammunition management, and why 3.5e thought wizards might ever draw a dagger. Expect jokes about pizza, plantains, Foundry VTT sponsorships, and Randall's insistence that pork rinds are the amateur cracklins of the RPG world. Whether you're a Pathfinder purist, a D&D veteran, or just someone who's ever forgotten to "draw your weapon before you attack," this episode delivers insight, laughter, and the occasional existential crisis over action economy. Key Takeaways Drawing a Weapon Actually Matters: In Pathfinder 2e Remaster, the Interact action now lets you swap items — finally freeing players from the "drop your sword" meta. D&D 3.5e Was Simulating Pain: Early editions punished level-1 characters for daring to pull out a sword. D&D 5e Basically Shrugged: The free item interaction rule was so buried and incomplete that nobody ever enforced it. Quick Draw Remains King: In both 3.5 and PF2e, Quick Draw feats remain the ultimate tool for GISH builds and thrown-weapon enjoyers. Foundry VTT Is the True Hero: Foundry automatically handles elevation, distance, and now even angular math — proving that maybe software can love you back. Balance Through Action Economy: PF2e's strict weapon-draw and reload rules balance martial and spellcasting characters, preventing martial supremacy in early rounds. Ash Is Mad About the Remaster: Discovering the "swap" rule mid-episode triggers a live existential meltdown. Randall Still Thinks Pizza is a Weapon: …and may be right. Read More on RPGBOT.net If you want to optimize your characters, master the Pathfinder 2e remaster, or finally understand why the action economy hates you, head over to RPGBOT.net. You'll find detailed guides on character optimization, mechanics deep dives, and edition-spanning analysis — all written by the same nerds who argued for 30 minutes about whether a Totino's pizza counts as a magical item.

Movie of the Year: 1971Action Figure Draft, Part 1The Chaos Begins in the Action Figure Draft 1971In this week's Movie of the Year, Ryan, Greg, Mike, and Taylor enter the arena for the most brutal, strategic, and downright unhinged draft of the season: the Action Figure Draft 1971.Every Taste Bud must choose characters from 1971 movies (or TV productions), imagining them as highly posable, battle-ready action figures. These figures must then be assigned to six RPG-inspired roles: bard, cleric, druid, fighter, wizard, and wild card.The goal?Build a team capable of winning an all-out fight against the other rosters.And the twist that changes everything:Once a character is drafted from a movie, no one else can draft anyone else from that same movie.No backups. No consolation picks. Once it's gone, it's GONE.If you thought last season's drafts were chaotic…welcome to 1971.The Draft Rules: One Year, One Movie Per Pick, Zero MercyTo keep this battle as ruthless as possible, the Taste Buds lock in the following rules:Snake Draft FormatThe order reverses each round, forcing careful planning and last-second gambits.Draft RolesEach team must fill:Bard – charm, chaos, charismaCleric – healer, protector, mystical weirdoDruid – nature, magic, unpredictable energyFighter – the bruiser, tank, or martial artistWizard – supernatural, cerebral, or ranged powerhouseWild Card – whatever you dare unleashEligibility: 1971 Movies (and TV Productions) OnlyIf it hit screens in 1971 (big screen, small screen, arthouse, grindhouse), it's fair game.The Killer Rule: One Character Per MovieAs soon as a player drafts any character from a movie or TV title, that entire production is locked out forever.Pick a character from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? The rest of Wonka's weirdos vanish.Choose someone from A Clockwork Orange? Say goodbye to Alex's droogs.Reach into The French Connection? No detective backup for anyone.This rule transforms the draft into a battlefield where stealing a movie is every bit as important as drafting the right character.The ObjectiveCreate a team of 1971 action figures capable of absolutely wrecking the others in a hypothetical battle royale.Selecting the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Wizard, and Wild CardThe Taste Buds dive deep into the weird, violent, soulful, experimental year that is 1971 cinema. With each category requiring a different kind of fighter, strategy becomes key:A bard might be a charming con artist, a manipulative cult leader, or someone who just screams enough to cause psychic damage.A cleric might heal, preach, or haunt.A druid might commune with nature or be a chaos gremlin.A fighter is your tank — your blunt instrument of violence.A wizard could be supernatural…or simply smarter and more dangerous than anyone else.And the wild card?Well, 1971 produced some bizarre characters. Anything can happen here.And because each movie gets only one character drafted, every pick is a race to snatch a film before someone else steals it out from under...

For this episode we have another one of our deep dives, although this time we are taking a look at not 1, not 2, but 25 individual games! UFO 50 is a compilation of 50 individual retro style games that released in 2024 and more recently this year on Switch, and has been on the Beats crew radar for awhile. But wait, there are 50 games and we're only talking about 25? What gives? Yeah, it turns out that playing 50 games takes a long time, and so does talking about 50 games. So we decided to split things in the middle and call it at the halfway point. For a sampling of what to expect from the first half of this collection, you've got a car racing game with a Splatoon paint mechanic, a golf ball RPG, a house party deck builder, a platformer with controls unlike anything we've ever played, and a ton more! It's a fun and varied collection of games with something for everyone. So settle in, grab your retro style controller of choice, and join us for this deep dive of UFO 50!

We finish our "non-racing vehicle game" category with a familiar and personal favorite IP. The Simpsons Road Rage was developed by Radical Entertainment and released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. Being huge fans of The Simpsons, we are excited to cover our second game set in the town of Springfield. This week the brothers ask which kind of game would you like to see copied in the Simpsons universe? A turn based RPG like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a kart racer like Mario Kart World, or a team based PvP shooter like Marvel Rivals.Follow us onX @BrosBossBattlesYouTube @BrosBossBattlesInstagram @BrosBossBattleshttps://brothersandbossbattles.com/

Send us a textIn 2023 I was already neck deep into my Kickstarter obsession when I saw an advertisement for a brand new OSR style roleplaying game called Shadowdark. It was the creation of Kelsey Dionne and it looked very cool. The book was large and black with silver script and silver artwork of what I thought was a beholder.I immediately backed it. But to be fair I was immediately backing a lot of things back then. When I turned on my YouTubes I got blasted with a social media blitz unlike any I had seen before. All of the TTRPG sites that covered anything even remotely different than D&D were all over this game. The superlatives seemed to match the online excitement and soon it had garnered 1.4 million dollars on Kickstarter.I couldn't wait to get the book. But while I was reading the .pdf and waiting for the hardback to arrive I had the chance to watch Kelsey Dionne herself walk backers through her creation process of the ranger class. I also got to see a number of interviews with her regarding the product. Again, I just kept getting more and more excited.When the book finally came it sat on my bookshelf. Now don't be sad for the game, that's what tends to happen to most of the stuff I grab off of Kickstarter. But, it was on a short list of games to be played.Finally, my Masks of Nyrlethotep came to a shuddering, bumbling halt and I wanted something fast, easy, and different as a palette cleanser. Enter Shadowdark. I quickly brushed up on the rules and set the date for my group. This was about the same time that the Glass Cannon Podcast announced they were going to be using Shadowdark as the rules for their next big live play. Yep, stoked again.We dove head first into Shadowdark.And it was … Ok … I guess.Not the resounding plug you thought I was going to give.If you are fans of the game, stick around because we are diving deeper than that. There are some really good things about this game. Some really bad things about this game. And a lot of mehh things about this game. In this episode Mike, Christina, and I are going to walk you through all of that and give you our honest review of the game.

Like its predecessor, Hades II is an action RPG roguelike chock full of eye-popping art, callous-forming combat, and a steady supply of sexual tension set in the deep lore of Greek myth while telling the all-too-relatable story of confronting toxic family dynamics and breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma. So grab a bottle of ambrosia and activate God Mode with us as we unpack all our thoughts and feelings about this game of the year contender.1:57 - Dispatch final thoughts11:29 - Hades II53:30 - **SPOILERS for Hades II**1:32:32 - OutroWatch the live stream recording of this episode on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/live/XZ-HrL-XNNQSide Questhttps://transasylumsupport.github.io/The Trans Asylum Seekers Support Network is an interdependent, solidarity-based network of queer and trans asylum seekers, loved ones, collective members, and volunteers dedicated to the abolition of all cages and borders, revolutionary compassion and trans liberation.

Das Free2Play-Action-RPG Where Winds Meet begeistert mit seinem atemberaubenden Wuxia-Setting, fliegenden Kämpfen und massiven Spielerzahlen. Doch das Spiel von Everstone Studio ist auch ein Chaos: Überforderung im Menü und vor allem ein kontroverses Time-Gating sorgen für Frust. GameStar-Host Lea spricht mit Jonas und MMO-Experte Karsten (MeinMMO) über Hype, harte Kritik und die 42.000-Euro-Yacht. Wer sollte einsteigen – und wer die Finger davon lassen?

On this week's Random Encounter, we're taking a look at two very different narrative adventures!Back in the 2010s, Telltale Games reinvented the point-and-click adventure game with The Walking Dead, introducing new multiple paths and lasting choices. Unfortunately, they spread themselves a little too thin, and the studio closed. Thankfully, many of those developers went off to create their own studios, and that is how we got Dispatch, the new episodic superhero adventure game! Tom has played the entire season and can confidently say that it reaches, and maybe even exceeds, the heights of Telltale's output at its prime.Then, Audra is here with an indie narrative visual novel inspired by Nintendo DS Japanese adventure games like Ace Attorney and Hotel Dusk: Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved. This looks to be a classic case of, "Well, if the developer won't make any more of the games we like, we're going to do it ourselves!" In this detective game, you and your investigative partner explore crime scenes and interrogate witnesses to uncover the perpetrators of a shocking murder (maybe, you'll have to follow the clues to find out)Featuring: Jono Logan, Audra Bowling, and Tom Naylor; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:DispatchDetective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved
