RPPR Actual Play: Call of Cthulhu – A Murder of Crows
There is trouble in Bethlehem….
Thousands of crows have taken roost in the woods surrounding Bethlehem, NH, mercilessly attacking anyone who tries to enter the forest. The human population is outnumbered more than ten-to-one, and the birds are growing more bold every day. Can the investigators solve the mystery behind this unnatural infestation? Can they save the town of Bethlehem from a disaster of biblical proportions?
Murder of Crows contains everything a Call of Cthulhu group needs for an evening’s worth of Mythos-inspired fun, including pregenerated characters. It is the first in an innovative new series of Call of Cthulhu scenarios and supplements from Super Genius Games.
This scenario was recorded at ShaunCon, so it’s a bit noisy. Fortunately our Zoom H2 recorder managed to get most of the voices of the players fialry well.

RPPR Episode 24: GO GO GO! and other Action Movie Cliches
When we role play, we almost always imagine an action scene, whether it’s kicking down dungeon doors and slitting the throats of whatever lies beyond them or kicking open vampire coffins and staking whatever lies inside them or kicking down giant metal doors with giant robot legs and stomping whatever lies beyond them. So no matter what genre you prefer, action is part of it. But how do you run a great scene or fight or base an entire scenario or campaign in an action adventure genre? Of course there’s also a letter from Tom, an anecdote from our listener Captain Scraps and some shout outs:
- Fallout 3: A most worthy post apocalypse interactive saga. Play the damn game already.
- The Something Awful Traditional Games Discussion Forum: lotsa good discussions here.
- Punisher vidya game: Punisher shoots bad guys. Virtually!
- Shauncon: We went there. It was neat.

RPPR Interview with Benjamin Baugh, creator of Monsters and Other Childish Things
Ben Baugh aka Bailywolf on the RPG.net forums is the mind behind Monsters and Other Childish Things, a game near and dear to my heart. In this interview, we talk about game design, his other work, some of the more interesting threads on RPG.net and of course Monsters.
I apologize for the poor audio quality. Skype and my internet connection hates me. I think the content of the interview makes up for it though.
