On Nov 24th we return to Cat City - a FATE actual-play GM'd by Varrick

Had a great time touring Skywalker Ranch today. Nathan & Bill were amazing hosts!

Eat shit Cuomo!!!

This is a really good price for this mic. It’s my daily driver for the podcast. $159, usually 230. chucklevins.com/products/rod...

The zombie hands coming out of the ground at my dad’s nursing home is certainly a choice. 😂

Bring it on!!

Good morning! It's the last day to apply for our 2026 #ActualPlay Grants. Reach out to the serial procrastinator in your life and make sure they get their show in before the deadline! Head on over to apply.tabletoparts.fund/actualplay2026 and make sure our judges get to see your show!

We have quite a few spooky episodes but I think the ones where we explore the Oracle Cave are some of the best. Technically, it starts in episode 13, but this is such a great introduction to our shenanigans. Soooo many spiders… youtu.be/HFm1cW-ZKBE?...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN SHADOWPUNKS!! The finale of DELTA PINK, our #deltagreen #actualplay is here! SPOTIFY spotify.link/nsNRJ27KUXb EVERYWHERE ELSE link.chtbl.com/4ltM3hZ5

Happy Halloween from the AARPGs!

I feel like I might finally have a topic for an *AP manifesto*: the tenacity of ephemeral stories, and how this is tension is mirrored in the technology we use to share them.

Here is our Bracket determining the first game @quinnblackwell.bsky.social & @carrion-comfort.com will develop on stream! Quarter Finals are open for voting in our servers for 24 Hours. You can join the Main Server here: ttrpg.link/Discord You can join The Work server by...well working with us!

I'm writing a quick guide to digital preservation of Actual Play (targetted at AP producers) -- I have the basics covered from an archival perspective, but do you y'all have any questions or concerns you'd like me to address?

It’s not ALIEN if there are survivors lol

More progress on our next Actual Play. We’re lowering our expectations as far as VTT usage (thank fucking god) and are going to try out Streamyard for the iso video and audio recording. Tonight! Test combat!

It’s been a meat cylinder dinner weekend.

Let's go!🎉 I wonder if ppl can guess what famous final girl from popular media my character is based on? :)

More fun in Mutant Year Zero! E7-The Second Ark-"And Your Little Dog Too"-A Mutant: Year Zero Actual Play Podcast Wherever you listen to podcasts. youtu.be/LhhG3FTb9Kg?...

That's what's up over at NINJA BORG

Anyone tried out Memento Mori by 2 Little Mice Looks very dark and interesting. twolittlemice.net/memento-mori/

Session 1 of Impossible Landscapes is in the bag. Thanks to @jaredlogan.bsky.social @adriangamenerd.bsky.social @discourseminis.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social for bringing 90s cinematic police corruption, drug use, & disregard for traffic, well before the weird began. 😅🤘🏻

Good thread!

It’s my birthday weekend! Happy to make it to 55! Not sure what I do here… do I do an AMA? Do I ask you to tell me about your favorite charity? Do I just ask you to subscribe to my dumb podcast? (GIF enclosed of my spirit animal)

Done with the dialogue on episode 41 of our Dragonbane Actual Play, on to everything else! Tweaking my project layout for the last 10 episodes in the series. Hoping I can keep things tidy and organized with ambience, fx, music, reverbs and instruments in their own sections.

linktr.ee/theaarpgs If you like your Actual Plays Podcasts High Quality & Low Brow, we’re you’re people.

Anyone have any new Mothership content that’s come out recently?

Miscommunication happens when you interpret everything in the worst possible way.

I hadn't seen this review before! If you were interested in diving into the different parts of HIS MAJESTY THE WORM before buying, this is pretty thorough!

Doing a test recording tonight for our next actual play!

Shubh Diwali!

If you are curious about Battlelords of the 23rd Century and why @bdavewalters.bsky.social calls it his all-time favorite game, check out their current Kickstarter! While you are at it, check out our Battlelords playlist: primers, character creation and an Actual Play where I designed the Sound fx!

We are flimsy bags of meat.

We are fully funded! Now is you best (and possibly only) chance to grab one of the last Battlelords of the 23rd Century core rulebooks! Thanks again to all our backers and fans! www.kickstarter.com/projects/23c...

I had an amazing time at our annual Geek Weekend. I got to play a Space Marine that wielded a dead Space Marine wielding a chain sword. I got to play the annoying teenage son to Malcolm’s Southern Serial Mom in our The Walking Dead game. “MOMMA!”

Hey Sound Designers, do you have any recommendations for making a list of assets you need to source or create in the pre-production phase? Do you just use a spreadsheet? How do you categorize them? For context, audio fiction, no script but I know a lot about the setting and character details.

Let’s break down the budget of a TTRPG project! I hope it’s helpful and you release lots of cool TTRPG product! I also hope it helps ensure paying collaborators fairly (or even great)! #TTRPG #RPG #GameDesign #GameDevelopment #IndieTTRPG #TTRPGCommunity #IndieDev #GameBudget #HowItsMade 1/19

Today is the birthday one of the most talented creators in TTRPGs, Jennell Jaquays, who passed away last year. Jennell was one of our company's earliest artists, and played an prominent role in Chaosium's success over many years, as an illustrator and writer.

Doing a little pre-production!

The real monsters are the friends we made along the way. 😳

Geek Weekend Day 2! The Walking Dead day. Reprising our roles from last year.
