“Have y’all heard of those speed demons out on the back roads and country highways? They’re stirring up trouble for the local authorities. Weird thing is even with close calls and stops, the cops are just letting them get away with it, things are in a hairy state I tell ya. Until next time Children… Sleep well.”

In this episode the hosts explore Chaosium’s Rivers of London RPG: discussing the setting, magic system, and character creation. They introduce three new investigators—a paramedic magician, a holy compliance officer, and a dilettante hedge wizard—and outline a gallery-based mystery involving a haunted sculpture. The episode covers rules impressions, spell mechanics, and scenario seeds for future play.

“Remember that break in last night at the Peddler’s Mall? It seems that streak freak Jimmy might have something to do with it, but something smells fishy here. He was always such a fungi too, despite his performative proclivities. Until next time Children… Sleep well.”

“It seems a special red delivery has ended up on someone's doorstep! Congratulations are in order for the new father, have Mercy. Meanwhile there seems to have been a break in at the local Folk Art Museum, as well as the Peddler’s Mall. Someone was looking for something! Until next time Children… Sleep well.

Looking to expand after their recent successes, the burgeoning enclave of MyWay has experienced a population boom. As a result they want to grow the safe zone into the convention center across the street, and everyone willing including our takers are being hired to make that happen. They could refuse, but it IS MyWay or the SkyWay.

Brownie - The Market

Adam - Snips - totally not a hair dresser latent with trust issues - but actually a hard of hearing surgeon with a penchant for vasectomies laser or otherwise.

Crazon – Ecclesiarch – Knight of the Realm… Err, Believer… Little Bit of a LALA… Using medieval armor and armaments, making his way through his personal broken dreams in the loss.

Joe – 7-8-9 – Latent who frequently finds themselves on the blunt end of casualty bashing.

David – Longshot – The baby variant of this storied character. Your friendly local Canadian terrorist/chair enthusiast. Interesting in checking things off of his list and popping a nice squat.

In this episode of RPX Rollup, we're rolling up characters for Renegade Game Studios' Kids on Bikes: Second Edition. Set in 2007-2008 before smartphones ruled the world, players take on the roles of teenagers navigating a small-town mystery.

In this episode of the RPX Rollup, we're back with Urban Shadows 2nd edition. We're doing some city creation work, building Barrie, Ontario as our supernatural setting. We walk through the process of taking a real place and figuring out what kind of supernatural stuff might be going on there.

Join us as we discuss Barrie's actual history and geography, then start layering in the supernatural elements - where different factions might operate, what kind of politics exist between them, and how the supernatural world intersects with the regular city.

If you're interested in Urban Shadows or just curious about how to develop RPG settings, this gives you a look at how we approach city creation.
