The Roleplaying Exchange Podcast

Tornadoes, floods, cracked ribs, and a ribbon rivalry. Gen Con 2026 had it all.  Actually, we had a great time and can't wait to go back.  

Join us as the wrap-up all the fun and games.

In this RPX Rollup, we roll up characters for Mutant City Blues 2nd Edition — the Gumshoe system procedural where the cops have superpowers and the crimes have a very unusual angle.

Music : Alleyway Case File

Four agents get a simple assignment: a retired consultant for the program has died of a heart attack in his DC apartment, and his family arrives in 48 hours. Get in, find anything that ties him to Delta Green, and get out before anyone asks questions. But Clyde Bowman left behind more than old tax receipts, and some loose ends don’t stay buried.

Shaken by a nightmare he can't shake off, the siblings find themselves in a race against the clock: whatever's happened to Anna, they've got two weeks to fix it. All that stands between them and answers is a ruined necromancer's keep — and whatever's still moving in it.

David - GM

Adam - Assie - A dark elf rogue who aged out of the orphanage and never quite left trouble behind — now sporting a very bad case of nightmares

Crazon - Caroline Ensis - A wood elf ranger who goes nowhere without her squirrel companion, Sigismund

Josh - Tate - A good-natured half-elf fighter with more muscle than subtlety

In this episode of David takes the helm and guides us through character creation in Scum and Villainy – a Forged in the Dark space opera RPG where odd jobs, sketchy company, and questionable life choices are part of the job description.

Song: Dusty Frontier

Three childhood friends, raised together in the same elven orphanage, reunite when letters from their beloved little sister mysteriously stop arriving. What starts as a nostalgic homecoming turns into something neither of them bargained for.

In this episode of RPX Rollup, we're rolling up characters for Renegade Game Studios' Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition, a modern horror RPG. Set in our own world — the here and now — but one where vampires, werewolves, and worse are hiding in plain sight and probably running the show, Hunter puts you in the boots of ordinary people who've had the veil ripped away, usually through trauma, and decided to do something about it anyway.

Song - Dead Angle Files

“Can you believe it? The Barony actually managed to get things done, even out there in a darker and twisted corner of the Nevernever, vanquishing an outer threat and bringing peace. Now after a somber victory and as things quiet down, it might be time for a little R&R to wrap things up. Nothing around these parts ever goes quietly into the night, however… Does it? Until next time Children… Sleep Well."

“Oddly enough, the Barony is still meandering, despite being behind enemy lines as it were. As they inch ever closer to finishing the Outer threat within Ichor Falls, will they be prepared for the outcome? Until next time Children, pray for them some more my Children, pray… Sleep Well.”

“The King has been rescued, and the Dragon is furious. Its shadow looms ever deeper over The Falls. Now the Barony of Morehead must traverse the mists and strangeness of this old mining town, and face the Lair of the Beast itself. Until next time Children, pray for them my Children, pray… Sleep Well.”
