I was innocently playing a game of Monsters and Other Childish Things at DragonCon last year, when the GM handed me a business card for RPPR.  Now I know that the GM of the game was THE Ross Payton of RPPR.  The game he ran was so wholesome and fun ( even with the teen-aged drug crazed potty mouthed Juggalos ), that I knew I had found a source of clean family entertainment.  So, I started listening to some episodes and and it was like a light went on.  I learned a whole new colorful vocabulary and way of thinking that I shared with my friends.  Well, I guess they used to be my friends.  They were a bunch of uptight fucksticks anyway.  Having a lot more fun now!

RPPR has business cards?

Yes, Ross is that nerdy. Technically I think they are index sized show cards with the katana-trenchcoat-dragon and the exploding barrel on them. But it's been awhile since I looked at one.

There's a word for this sort of thing, and that word is "money." For those of you who don't know what I mean, go see Swingers immediately.

I found RPPR because I was laid off last summer and I needed something to do to fill the voluminous amounts of free time I suddenly had. Mostly, I was trying to find something to listen to that interested me, and when I searched the iTunes store for roleplaying podcasts, RPPR was one of the first entries to pop up. I decided to give it a shot and liked it, so much so that I think I must've listened to the show's entire 30 episode archive within a month of the time I first tuned in. I joined the forum because it seemed like a good place to meet and converse with like-minded people: namely, nerds who enjoy talking about roleplaying games, and other awesome stuff.

So far, it hasn't let me down.

Just to let you know, I feel blessed to have such a great group of people to discuss stupid shit with. I've always loved how friendly everyone is and I appreciate the love spread to our little gaming group.

There.

I'm off to go clean my pussy now.

Ditto and ditto.

Oh sure, let "money" dominate even a person's nerdhood now.

I remember back in the old days when podcasting wasn't about the money (note: no quote marks). It was about scoring podcast groupy trim.

Don't laugh. Chicks love those big, bushy beards and radical ideas. :-P

I did print out some RPPR postcards. I pass them out at cons. It cost like 50 bucks to print 1000 and I still have a few hundred left. The art is the RPPR group picture I used for the AP podcast logo and you can see it in the back of the new world primer.

While watching a cartoonist on ustream, the side chatter of the viiewers fell to D&D podcasts, and one of the people recommended the RPPR actual plays to me. However, I devoured the radio shows aswell (in a non-literal way), and that was that.

I forget why I joined the forums, probably to say something related to important matters of the day. Gotta be.

I too found RPPR through searching the Zune gaming podcasts. I really think the logo was what did it for me.
A Dragon using a cigarette holder? Madness.

Started with Save vs. Warm Fuzzies, and Tom's letter- oh man, Diamond encrusted dick wipers! I fell in love.
I wish I was Tom.

Granted, you are now Tom.

I was searching for more actual plays after listening the Penny Arcade. Needless to say I found much better here. I joined the forums because I'm a whore like that. Order66 reminds me of a guy in the art circles called bagera. The fucker can't type for shit and blames it on ADD, I have ADD and at least I know what a period is... It's the week I can't touch my girlfriend.

Just because you aren't drunk now doesn't mean you won't have a hangover tommarow.
The only thing worse then zombies is nanotech zombies that are immune to disintegration.
