Real Play Games Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Intriguing family secrets are uncovered just before dinnertime, and of course, any event that gathers as many Prescotts together in one room as possible is going to go just about as well as you think that it would.  Susanne would look aghast if it was possible for her to have that range of facial movement!  And right when they’re at their most insufferable… things get darker.

It’s Christmas Eve 2005, and the Prescott family has gathered for the presumed last Christmas celebration of family patriarch Douglas Prescott, former MP and a man of vast wealth and influence.  Predominantly out of a sense of obligation (or unwillingness to get cut out of Dougie’s will), they’ve decided that they’re willing to put up with one another for a whole weekend before they’ll scatter back out into the world.  Question is: will all of them live to see the end of it?

Hey Gamefriends, GM John here!  Have you ever run through a tabletop adventure with your friends, but then wondered, what if people would’ve made different choices, or played different characters?  What if I’d had different players altogether? Would things change?  Well, we’ve felt the same way more than a few times, and so we decided to put that question to the test.  In our first version of the adventure, a man looking for his missing lover and a woman searching for clues to her ancestry visit a small town with the occult group they’re members of, and in the second, a long-time married couple on the precipice of either splitting up or making more roots ventures with their group to find a person one of them adores… and one of them doesn’t care for at all…

Covenant of Dagon, two adventures using one module from the One Shot  Horror RPG, starts March 22nd, only on the Real Play Games podcast.

This audio play-through of Covenant of Dagon is a Real Play Games Podcast production.  Covenant of Dagon is written by David Dudka and published by One Shot RPG.  You can find the adventure, the OSRPG Horror ruleset, and numerous other exciting products from One Shot RPG just by typing ‘OSRPG’ into your search bar on www.drivethrurpg.com.  If you’d like to help support the show at no cost to you when you shop online for RPGs, feel free to use our affiliate link, it really helps!

Having discovered that Gemekala still lives (at least, after a fashion), the group is racing against time and the simmering tensions of the tribefolk they traveled all the way to help in the first place!   Will they be able to convince two groups that're at one another's throats to work together for the good of the whole area?  Better hope they don't let Moss do most of the talking!

On the sweltering living continent of Kalsentia, the temperature isn't the only thing that's up!  Tensions between the jungle-dwelling Red Wader village and the lowland-dwelling Kyteholdr peoples due to the disappearance of the Elder Prophet Gemekala, and fingers are being pointed on both sides as hostilities start to mount.  To add to the issue, pollution has begun issuing downstream, causing frightful mutations and scaring off the wildlife both tribes need to sustain themselves!  Who better than a bunch of strangers from other tribes who've blundered into the whole mess and the least intelligent Red Wader tribe member ever to solve it before it turns to all-out tribal warfare?

It's unrelentingly hot.  The turtle-apes and their minions want to enslave or kill you.  Most of the beasts want to eat you or lay eggs inside of you or something else real gross.  The Invaders want to make you into goo.  That's the struggle that the hardy Cruach and lithe Zangatur tribes deal with on a daily basis.  Follow the exploits of five very different individuals as they attempt to reconcile two tribes and tend to a wounded continent.

One where the  GM and players talk about whether or not they enjoyed the adventure, discuss highlights, and come down from the exhilarating  threat of being devoured alive (or worse) by things that are at least partially inscrutable to the human psyche!  Just keeping it light and wholesome, LOL!
