Flabbergasted! is a highly comedic and narrative-driven roleplaying game drawing inspiration from the likes of Jeeves and Wooster and Fawlty Towers. Set in the height of the Roaring ‘20s, you’ll take on the role of either an affable Aristocrat, an eccentric Bohemian, an entrepreneurial Well-to-do, or one of the ever-ready and steadfast Staff. Together you and your friends will join an up-and-coming Social Club and get up to mischief, mayhem and many marvellous misadventures—all before your afternoon tea! Will you conform to the scrupulous standards of good society, or simply embrace your scandalous reputation and just try to have a bloody good time? ----- Chelsea Sciortino https://www.wanderers-tome.com/ https://www.instagram.com/wanderers.tome https://www.facebook.com/wandererstome https://twitter.com/Wanderers_Tome https://www.tiktok.com/@wandererstome ----- This episode was originally streamed on September 18, 2023.

| #63 Raccoon Sky Pirates with Chris Sellers | 04 Sep 2023 | 00:28:27 | |
You are a raccoon: a chittering, baggy-pants, ring-tailed burglar. You and your friends have built an implausible floating ship in the junkyard, and tonight you'll fly it across town to the suburbs in search of better trash. Together, you'll navigate the treacherous neighborhoods, find a ripe, free-standing house with cable internet, steal as much as you can carry, and fend off the Neighborhood Watch—all while trying not to explode. In Raccoon Sky Pirates, it's all for one and one for all. Flying a ship takes coordination and discipline. Unfortunately, you're a bunch of raccoons. ----- Digital Copy: https://hecticelectron.itch.io/raccoon-sky-pirates Box Set: https://www.hecticelectron.com/product/raccoon-sky-pirates/ Chris on tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/hecticelectron ----- This episode was originally streamed on September 4, 2023.

| #95 Against the Odds with Helena Real | 29 Jul 2024 | 00:42:04 | |
A game inspired by fantasy fiction and hopes to offer an alternative to D&D and other fantasy RPGs for players more interested in telling dramatic stories than killing, "looting", and counting torches. Against the Odds uses the PbtA framework and follows along the example of the most modern incarnations of that philosophy, such as Masks: A New Generation, Avatar Legends, and Urban Shadows. ----- Buy: https://helenareal.itch.io/ato ----- This episode was live streamed on July 22, 2024.

| #60 Lancer with Tom Bloom | 08 Aug 2023 | 00:47:24 | |
Lancer is a tabletop role playing game centered on shared narratives, customizable mechs, and the pilots who crew them. Set many thousands of years from the present day, Lancer imagines a future where a survivor humanity has spread to the stars after weathering terrible ecological collapse on Earth -- the end of the Anthropocene as a consequence of unrestrained consumption and poor stewardship. Lancer offers deep mech customization, a wide range of player backgrounds, and a system and setting with room for any story you and your group want to tell. It’s best with a group of 3-5 players, and can be used to run a one-shot session or persistent campaign. ----- Website: https://massifpress.com/ Itch Store: https://massif-press.itch.io/ Free Version: https://massif-press.itch.io/corebook-pdf-free COMP/CON: https://compcon.app/#/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Lancer_RPG ----- This episode was pre-recorded and released on August 7, 2023.
