It is indeed! I have no idea what I would have done with my life were it not for RPPR!

Thank you kindly for posting this! I was really hesitant to get a forum app for fear it wouldn't work well, then I saw this and checked out reviews and whatnot
 Long story short, I'm posting this on my Android using Tapatalk :D

Funny, I literally just finished listening to the episode about posting about why games suck on a forum.

"My ex girlfriend had a weird fetish; she liked to dress up as herself, and act like a bitch all of the time."

Part of me desperately wants to buy Synnibarr just because I enjoy collecting RPGs of any kind, and a great many of them offer quite a laugh to read through. However, after hearing the description of the Werestorm and Wereweres .. I just don't know if my fragile mind could take that kind of insanity.

Hehe I mentioned to Ross on Twitter that I purchased the game, and his first (and only) response was "Make sure to buy Road Trip!"

Unfortunately, I'm broke, and I've already bought more than I should this month, so I'll have to hold off.

Also, I actually think that Candlewick Manor sounds incredibly interesting! I might want to buy that as well.

I just saw a topic asking how one found out about RPPR, but it was approximately a year old, and I decided that thread necromancy wasn't something to practice, especially when one is brand new to a forum. So I'm glad to see something like this. :D

Anyhoo, I listen to RPPR while I'm at work. I recently (beginning of Feb) began a security position, where my job is literally to sit in a little shack by a gate and write down license plates while people drive in and out. That's it. So, my first day on the job I downloaded the Listen app for my Android. I actually did a search for "World of Darkness", and I ended up stumbling across the Morality episode of RPPR. After giving it a listen, I found out that I thought Ross and Tom were genius, hilarious, and quite interesting to listen to.

I continue to listen because .. quite simply, they keep me enraptured. The topics they discuss are interesting, and I've heard a lot of ideas on their podcast that never would have come to me otherwise.

Hell, I just bought Monsters and Other childish Things because Ross kept mentioning it, and I've fallen in love with the book so far!

I started listening to RPPR a few weeks ago, and when I heard Ross mention Monsters and Other Childish Things, it sounded interesting, but something I would pick up at a later date.

Then he kept mentioning it, and mentioning it, and over and over again I would hear about this game and become more and more interested. Finally, I believe I was listening to the .. Gencon 2009 wrap-up maybe? And I decided I had to buy the game -this minute-. That was Tuesday, while I was working (yay security jobs, and yay Amazon application for my Android), and it just arrived today.

I have to say, this game is everything I was hoping for and more. The layout is fantastic, the content is superb, and the author is hilarious, witty, and quite intelligent. I can see why Ross holds such a torch for this game, and I think that I may be soon following in that regard.

The main reasoning for this post is mostly just to say, if there's anybody out there in the intarwebs who's been thinking about buying Monsters, or maybe they're not quite sure if it's up their alley, I -highly- recommend it. If you like modern fantasy/horror, I think this game will happily surprise you with how intelligent it is.

Also, ahem, this is my first post. Big fan, rock on Ross and Tom (and Cody, and other such people)!
