Granted. It's not delayed, they decided to swap it for a reprint of F.A.T.A.L


I wish there were more CoC episodes of RPPR actual play

Ross Payton is king of the media! Tom would be too, but he only made it on to one news cast.

I love the glorious book burning at the end of that tract.

You have to see the long term result of this cleansing!

Newburyport has lost much of it's old charm, but there are still some interesting areas to visit. In the 50s and 60s it was likely much closer to what Innsmouth was, but that was after Lovecraft's time. In the 70s it was much improved to draw in the tourists. :-)

Teenagers over several generations break into a tomb and party with the corpses in Newburyport's Old Hill cemetery. I recall the 1985 story well being a teen at the time myself.

Marvel Super Heroes (1980s TSR version) character creation was humorous and entertaining.

Amber Diceless Role Playing Game was based on some good books.

Palladium Fantasy RPG had good art.

4th Edition D&D combat required less reference to rule-books

Rollmaster had many fine tables.

I work in the field of Integrated Circuit Design, specifically as an IC layout engineer, meaning I draw the artwork that is used to fabricate a chip. My most recent project resulted in many late nights over the last few weeks. I spent the time listening to Heroes of New Arcadia. Since it was so much fun I decided to give RPPR a shout out on this chip So millions of smart-grid meters around the world will have a little bit of Role Playing Public Radio in them!
