  • S01E08 RPG Retrofit: Red City Red Sea - ZineQuest brainstorming

    Hi, gang! Today's episode is me talking out some of my creative process for a zine I'd like to make for next year's ZineQuest initiative on Kickstarter. It's rambly. It's brambly. It's me on the couch with my phone. Me trying to remember the Space Vampire Choose Your Own Adventure.

  • S01E06 RPG Retrofit - Buck Rogers: Die Hard in Spaaaace

    Hi, friends! Today I look at a Buck Rogers adventure called Deimos Mandate and discuss what I think worked well in the module and what could be used for your own adventures in space. We've got giant space elevators and air duct passageways! What more could a boy of the 25th Century ask for?

  • S01E03 - RPG Retrofit Podcast: Buck Rogers & Old Clue Books

    Hi, folks! Today's episode of the podcast is about using old computer rpg hint/clue books as GM resources. I go through a clue book I found for the second Buck Rogers rpg computer game that reads like a great GM module with tons of maps and encounters.

  • S01E02: RPG Retrofit SIDEQUEST - Game Jams (Are Awesome)

    Hey folks, our second episode is a "driving episode", aka a side-quest. I was on the road to a birthday celebration and had game jams on my mind. So join me as a wax unpoetic about the last couple of game jams I participated in, and the current one I'm mulling over. Apologies, as always, about the poor sound quality.

    Jams mentioned:

    Ad Astra Jam: https://itch.io/jam/ad-astra-jam

    Goon Jam: https://itch.io/jam/goonjam

    Pamphlet Dungeon Jam: https://itch.io/jam/pamphletjam

    Thank you for listening and please leave a voicemail!
