« on: February 28, 2011, 01:36:41 PM »I get the feeling this poll will be wide and varied in its results!
+1
I actually posted this same poll on a couple of other forums and got quite a variety. I always assume most gamers don't drink, but that may be my nerd stereotyping coming through from when I used to work at a comic shop.

I am embarrassed to say I am unfamiliar with Tom's drinking rules. Is that from a particular post or RPPR episode? (I couldn't track anything down with the search bar).

A quick poll. Do you drink while gaming? I have the tendency to avoid it if I am GMing, but even then I usually have a couple of beers throughout the night. If I'm not GMing, I tend to have a few more (but I also eat more too I guess). Alcohol has led to some hilarious lines over the years for the groups I've gamed with. "Fuck your idea check. I poke it with a stick!" is probably still my fav 
Cheers!

Ran Divine Fire and it worked out splendidly!
Ran Candle Cove and it fell apart half way through when all the PCs ran off the rails and I couldn't reign it back in.
Ran U Boote Heraus, but only made it halfway through (though I suppose that's actually Adam Scott Glancy's game, but I heard it on RPPR. Same goes for Convergence because I ran it after I heard Ross do it).
Ran B12 and it spawned a campaign that lasted a whole summer!
I plan to run Arcadia Signal next, with Bryson Springs and The KGB Files to follow.

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Where do you listen to RPPR?
« on: February 25, 2011, 12:10:46 AM »man people really love Divine Fire 1 - someone is running it at Fear the Con. As far as I know, the guy running it there hasn't contacted Tom so he's running it solely off the podcast.
This was also the first thing I downloaded from RPPR. Listening to Divine Fire is what made me want to play CoC, and I believe it is because it follows the Indiana Jones principle:
Pulp + Nazis = A shat load of fun!
(I also ran DF for my group and they still say it's one of their favorite scenarios). I plan on dropping the KGB files on them soon

« on: February 24, 2011, 01:54:53 AM »I listen to AP's while I MAKE computer games. I've got a small little startup and we're going for a fantasy themed action romp for the iPhone / Android, so this keeps my mind in the right frame of reference while I model zombies and make dungeons. One day I might even play a real table-top game myself!
you've never even played tabletop rpgs? That's awesome that our little podcast has gotten your attention then. I wonder how many other listeners are like you in that respect.
Also - wooo indie vidya game making!
I listen to RPPR on the toilet. Helps pass the time as well as other things.
j/k. I listen when I commute to work and also when I'm cleaning around the house. I am also one of the people who was inspired to play TTRPGs by the podcast. Thanks for showing how it's done!

RPGs / Re: Dennis Detweller's Delta Green: Denied to the Enemy

Agree with Ross' comment from the previous section. Delta Green has to be one of the most well crafted settings I've ever read. There is very little, if anything, that I find wrong with it.
I've heard that some of the DG fiction conflicts with the "cannon" of the RPG books. Is this true so far in the book you're reading?

Agreed! Bryson Springs was amazing! I just finished listening to it about an hour ago. Without giving anything away, I have to say that Caleb's descriptions are top notch. I hope he ends up doing another CoC session again, because I'd love to see his spin on a "Mythos" character or storyline.
Keep 'em comin' dude. U rock!

Hey everyone!
My name is Jim and I am 29 from Lansing. I first got in to gaming when my wife of all people recruited me to play in her friend's Pathfinder game. When the GM moved to the Netherlands, I got the itch to keep playing, and through the magic of the internets I was able to come across the Divine Fire actual play. After that, I went out and bought the CoC core book, ran a game, and never looked back. I was running a regular game over the summer, and I am now actually writing my own material. So I guess I owe you guys (especially Tom and Ross) a great deal of thanks/blame for exposing me to RPGs that don't involve wizards, but do involve unspeakable horrors.
I've never had a great outlet for my love of horror books and films before, and I have actually convinced a lot of friends to try role playing for the first time.
I look forward to each and every podcast, and can't wait to see what you guys do next!
Does that make me a fan boy?
