Thankless Roll Players: arguably the world's finest TTRPG actual play podcast episodes

  • S01E05 Over The Edge TTRPG - Part 1 - The Sun Queen Must Die

    "So, who's gonna go get Tony out of the sex rooms?"  

    Part One of the audio car crash that was our trip to the Ultimate Democratic Republic of Al Amarja.  

    As always, expect mistakes-a-plenty, some profanity, and some very bad acting.  

    This time around you can also expect baboons, copious amounts of profanity, drug-dealing grandmas, ultraviolence, and lots and lots of dancing!  Did we mention the sex rooms?  

    Using 3rd edition rules by Jonathan Tweet and Chris Lites.

  • S01E04 Ars Magica TTRPG - The Ghoul of St Lazare pt. 4

    The conclusion of John Nephew's "The Ghoul of St. Lazare".   Presented here in all of its unedited, warts-and-all, improperly-played, mispronounced glory. Expect mistakes-a-plenty, some profanity, and some very bad acting.   

    As usual, using (loosely) Ars Magica 5th edition rules by Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein-Hagen, and the text of "The Ghoul of St. Lazare" from the 1998 ArM4 edition of "The Festival of the Damned".

    The Craig bot on Discord dropped our Friar Amoureux player's audio from the mix somewhere around the 1:12:00 minute mark, so you sadly won't get to hear Cam go full church.  Fortunately you can still follow the action, but there are gaps of silence.

  • S01E03 Ars Magica TTRPG - The Ghoul of St Lazare pt. 3

    "Yeah, but I'm a knight.  Whatever!"  After a late start, our intrepid (and under the weather) housebound group, and first-time story guide, enter the "difficult third act" of John Nephew's "The Ghoul of St. Lazare". Presented here in all of its warts-and-all, improperly-played, mispronounced glory. Expect mistakes-a-plenty, some profanity, and some very bad acting. 

    As usual, using (loosely) Ars Magica 5th edition rules by Jonathan Tweet, Mark Rein-Hagen and David Chart, and the text of "The Ghoul of St. Lazare" from the 1998 ArM4 edition of "The Festival of the Damned".

  • S01E02 Ars Magica TTRPG - The Ghoul of St Lazare pt. 2

    Our (mostly) first-time ArM group and fresh-faced middle-aged story guide shelter from the Coronavirus, and tread once again into John Nephew's "The Ghoul of St. Lazare". Presented here in all of its warts-and-all, improperly-played, mispronounced glory. Expect mistakes-a-plenty, some profanity, and some very bad acting. 

    As usual, using (loosely) Ars Magica 5th edition rules by Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein-Hagen, and the text of "The Ghoul of St. Lazare" from the 1998 ArM4 edition of "The Festival of the Damned".

    I butchered the pronunciation of the Confrérie des Charitables de Saint-Éloi, which I learned about last week in the Guardian newspaper and just had to add.  You can read more about them here:

  • S01E01 Ars Magica TTRPG - The Ghoul of St Lazare pt. 1

    Our first foray into Ars Magica proper, and played part one of John Nephew's "The Ghoul of St. Lazare". Presented here in all of its warts-and-all, improperly-played, mispronounced 90 minute glory. Expect mistakes-a-plenty, some profanity, and some very bad acting. Also, this was the first time I've GM'd in 40 years, so be gentle.  Using (loosely) Ars Magica 5th edition rules by Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein-Hagen, and the text of "The Ghoul of St. Lazare" from the 1998 ArM4 edition of "The Festival of the Damned".
