But what have we really learned from Ross, Tom, and the freakish Carebear Cousins who form the RPPR cast? Have we actually used anything they've tried to teach us?
I've been trying to run a League of Extraordinary Gentleman game for months with no luck getting players who'll get off their lazy asses and try.

So, we all like the show, or we wouldn't be clogging the forums with our random advise/stories, am I right?

I learned what "tummy sticks" is.
Yeah, me too.
I gotta learn to stop turning to Google when Cody says something I don't understand.
In this particular event, it could've been worse. I didn't use image search.

Holy shit, someone else ran a post ww2 yakuza game? Crazy. How did it go?
pretty good, everything went almost exactly like the stray dog game, except there was no beheading in mine. that and they blew most of their money gambling.

2) Fuck Clowns. Fuck those guys.
3) All your awesomeness are belong to Martin Van Buren
4) The Book of Unremitting Horror was the best purchase I've ever bought in a long time. I would not have known about it if it wasn't for RPPR. Therefore, listen to their shoutouts (except The Burrowers, which I thought sucked ass.)
5)...er...Ross is apparently a teacher and Tom is a diabetic who delivers stuff. And Cody is married. Sorry ladies!(...and...erm...gay men...)
6) JOHN FREEMAN.
...That's all I can think of off the top of my head at so late an hour

Wait did you say that Tom is a God and he can deliver us?
That's what I thought.
...
Erm, he can deliver...diabetes I guess?
...Actually, now that I come to think of it, we don't know too much about our hosts...

I think in this case you'd have to call him a "scaly," right?

Are we talking attractive full grown man who has a gentle, caring touch? Cus, there's alot of levels to full grown man, you gotta divide that group up a little.
And that's not even taking into consideration the quality of style of the costume.

What about a full-grown man who wears a dress made of fish scales (which can be smelled from miles away.) glued to his hairy body? Would that rock your boat?

I really , really got into the theme of World War 1, and actually ended up learning a huge amount about the horrors of trench warfare.
From the sounds of it, hopefully ross will post his CoC game of the German U-boat. haha 2 part 12 hour of play time and lots of good stuff from scott glancy.

you guys are going to be blown away by the U-boat scenario - 12 hour play time and all of the players but Tom were published game writers/designers and we touched on everything from the design of merchant ships in that era (the inner walls were wood so they would catch on fire) to the culture of a Spanish held island. It was crazy.

You know, Ross, you could make some serious scratch for yourself if you ransom that AP. I would sure as hell pay to hear it

* Read them and make sure they are enjoying themselves.
* Remain adaptable in my capacity as a GM
* Prepare, Prepare, Prepare and not bitch about it as the players choose to do something completely different
Spending time after each game to talk with the players about what they want out of the coming sessions has greatly helped to keep the game interesting for everyone.
So thanks, RPPR.

I learned more about gaming from RPPR than anywhere else, my characters are more interesting, I go out of my way to roleplay with NPC's because they are people too. I learned to use my role as GM to collaborate with my players rather than to tell them a story. I have used that lesson to try to make my friend a better GM but he still insists that we are playing "his" game. Alas, no wonder no one wants to play "his" games anymore and they are always asking me to run things.
Also after reading this thread, and speaking from experiance. I think Ross has sold more people on CoC than Chaosium could have if they spent thousands on marketing.

I'm one of these people. Running my first CoC game this weekend, and I can't frigging wait. Listening to these is amazing, I can't wait to apply what I've learned from Ross' games.
