This thread is about the regular episodes of RPPR.
So Ross, will you be doing one for Holloween this year?
-
Yeah we will. I need to talk to Tom about it since Tom wants guests that would have to skype in and that's a big technical hurdle
-
You need people who always interrupt or who always stay quiet no matter what. The stepping on each other/awkward silence after of skype conversation delay can get annoying!
-
When's Favorite Forum Threads gonna come. Between my Fan-fic think tread and all the Order66 shenanigans, the time is right.
-
OH man! New episode is shiny and new.
-
You guys need to do this. F'reals.

On a regular podcast as opposed to the APs? Because the 1988 league game involved margaritas and other games have involved beer
-
The regular podcast (hence my posting it in this thread).

either one that might happen in the month of september. GET CRUNK

This also works.

In the most recent episode, you talked about rhetoric in The New World. The first thing that came to my mind was Mike's arguments and "LET ME SPEAK MAH PIECE!" and the one time he derailed the game through a player on player discussion by changing the subject to an abstract concept and arguing semantics.
-
I have yet to listen to the latest podcast yet. Haven't had much podcast time. BUT And not to derail the thread, but when I first listened to Mike, I thought he was just a really hickish white guy who I imagined wore a red bandanna on his head. Apparently I"m bad at paying attention to podcasts for hours on end, especially when I"m doing other things at the same time. Like play Halo, or read text books. I like how short the normal podcasts are. Well at least they seem short compared to the actual plays. I started listening to this pretty late and so catching up on APs and the normal podcasts means a lot of hours in my room with Ross, Tom and the whole gang rabblerousing in my speakers.

I have to agree that roleplaying is inhenerntly a social endeavour.There are far more rules to model physical activities and less for social activities in most systems exactly for this reason. You can't do one hundred push ups and ask if that can be used to get passed a diplomacy scene, you need some basic 'social' skill to wantto play. And you need a supportive GM and group to help with the fun.
Peopel seem to always put the axis as 'combatant -----> non-combatant when they want to highlight the unfairness of a better RPer playing. However, really there are two sccales. 'Tactical thinker ------> rolls for attack. and 'Socal / creative thinker ---------> rolls for non-combat'
In both carses, a supportive group and some basic interest/compenence seems to be required. ensuring things come down to dice rolling can protect weaker tactical/social players. Ensuring player actions actually frame what the consequences of the dice rolls actually are can hopefully encourage any player to grow their skills with playing RPGs.
Thinking on the old persuassion topic, one idea not mentioned for persuading a player seemed to be in the consequences. not in forcing bennies, but simply pointing out 'ok, you were persuaded...now your character is free to harte the other character.' It's already an accepted part of intimidation. Just because a player badgers another using facts or bargaining doenas't mean they have to like it any more.
If a player decided their character would not do this, but something their character was forced to do it, that can sour the character/character relationship. Like the villain who uses logic to force the hero to do soemthign they wouldn't do - the greater good, the lesser evil. Or like a charatcer that guilts or shames another into an action that they know, later, they'll regret.
Infact, the hatred doesn't have to be after the fact. If a player wants to force persuassion on the tank, can't the tank force his brawn on the talker? Seems a good cinematic moment. The burly hero is smacking aroudn the slimy sneak, while the slimy sneak uses every nasty trick in the book to force the hero to do something unpleasant.

using this thread to mention that I once again submitted RPPR and RPPR AP to the Ennies. I also threw in Codex of War because why not?
I also used this as the music that will play if we win anything

You know, the latest episode says it's NSFW but isn't the generally true of all RPPR episodes and APs? Or am I just being silly.
-
There's regular RPPR show and then there's the FATAL review.
-
Speaking of which, keep going with that. Hilarious stuff.
-
yeah, it's actually pretty goddamn funny.
-
Speaking of the regular podcast episodes... Will there be a pre gencon show happening in the next two days?
-
nope!
-
nope!
Welp, we're done here folks. Time to move along.
-
Hmm, what about posting the week's AP before going to Gencon?
-
I set up 3 scheduled posts to go on the site during Gencon. Tom's GURPS modern league of extraordinary gentlemen game - Judgment day. It was a 3 part game so there you go.
-
Call me psychic, but I new Tom would put the BFG as the number one fictional gun in episode 54 when he announced the list in episode 63.
-
We shall have to reenact scenes from this for the video podcast http://palladium-store.com/1001/product/305-Rifts-Path-of-the-Storm.html

Can I haz wild talent review episode?
-
Can I haz wild talent review episode?
we'll do that after the holidays so we can get a roundtable with at least some of the rppr group.
-
Sound great. I'd also love a GURPS episode.
-
Personally I can't think of a single system the RPPR crew has played (an posted) that I wouldn't like to hear their out of game opinions on.
-
I agree with joe.
You guys have introduced me to so many different games, that it's hard to track them all down and look into them. Some in depth discussions about them would be a great way for me to do less work!
-
The list as I can recall is (in no particular order):
Wild Talents
Call of Cthulhu
Gurps
Wushu
D&D 4E
A Dirty World
Monsters and Other Childish Things
PALALALALADIUM ;D
World of Darkness
Cyberpunk
Esoterrorists
Fear Itself
A Dirty World
All Flesh Must Be Eaten
and Iron Heroes.
Those're the categories in my Podcast folder plus IH, I might have missed one or two. Should give you guys a good batch of material to pull from. :D I'm personally looking forward to Wushu, it would be interesting to hear an episode dedicated to such a goofy system.

:D :D :D you are a good person
you did good
-
Psshh. I bought Ross' books before it was cool.
-
IT WAS ALWAYS COOL
ITS WILL ALWAYS BE COOL
FOREVERMORE COOL
-
ROSS WRITE MORE BOOKS. MY COOL LEVELS ARE DEPLETING. I NEED TO REPLENISH THEM
-
Now I don't want to seem demanding but... what are the chances you could get one of the creators of O.R.E. on then Wild Talents episode, not so much as an interview as just a discussion of the system.
I heard Ross was talking to all the other published authors at last weeks published author mixer/orgy. So I figured he would be able to set this up.
-
On the latest Bearswarm, the guys mentioned Ross and RPPR. They said some nice things about our big cuddly announce voiced GM of doom.
-
d'awww :)

Hey, you guys going to do a podcast on Little Fears? or maybe Cthulhu Dark? been looking up those two game types and am interested to see what you guys have to say on them. your actual plays have been fun to listen to when you play those rules.

Eh, I'm sticking with systems that I have more experience with like Wild Talents. Our next episodes:
Wild Talents
D&D
World of Darkness
After that, we may stop doing system episodes for a while. I don't know yet.
