The Vintage RPG Podcast

We'll be back. But not before a nice, long vacation. After just shy of 363 episodes in eight years, the Vintage RPG Podcast is going to take a hiatus. For lots of reasons, many of which we explain in this episode (along with some general kvetching about the state of the contemporary internet; that article about ad calls on news sites can be found here, hat tip to Robert McNees). But honestly, mostly, a vacation sounds nice. We'll be back in a couple months. We're even planning on sending a couple virtual postcards. Until then, sign up for the for the Vintage RPG Newsletter, still going out ever Friday afternoon. Join the Vintage RPG Discord to while away the days until our return. Join the Vintage RPG Patreon (West Marches game starting again soon!). Keep up with Hambone specifically on his own newsletter (newsletters are the cool new thing!) * * * Edited by the one and only R. Alex Murray.

Two legendary artists, one head-to-head infernal adventure.  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, two of the most metal artists around, Arik Roper and Skinner, chat about The Black Spire Pact. That's a player-versus-player gamebook by Max Moon and Janaka Stucky, with Arik illustrating the wizard book and Skinner handling the demon lord. We also talk about art, fantasy, games, life, hallucinogens and more in a lengthy, rambling chat. Buckle up! * * * Back The Black Spire Pact on Backerkit now! Worth mentioning: original art for this project is for sale as part of the crowdfunding campaign. The works are priced to move, and all the dough goes to Arik and Skinner! Instagram? Old news.

In which I make the baseless argument that this is the first Monster Manual.  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're going back in time to 1887 to check out J.W. Buel's unhinged tome of natural history, Sea and Land. 800 pages, with 300 illustrations depicting the natural world at its hungriest. A glorious thing. * * * Instagram? Old news.

Ninjas, ninjas, ninjas, they're all Stu wants to talk about these days.  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're dodging shuriken in order to keep talk about shinobi, both generally and somewhat specifically regarding the Night of the Ninja RPG.

Troooooooooll!  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out Trollpak, Chaosium's boxset that explores the nature of RuneQuest's trolls.

Of stock lists and ancient history.  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we explore Castle Thrax and the Spellbinders' treasure.

Exploring a country still all mystery. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we venture to Mythic Britain & Ireland, a Vaesen sourcebook by Graeme Davis. A labor of love, the book presents all you need to run a game of Vaesen in the British Isles, including scenarios, monsters and mystery seeds. But in addition to being an RPG book, it also works as an introduction to the landscape of folklore that's so unique to Britain and Ireland. Fantastic stuff, and gorgeous illustrations to boot. * * * Graeme Davis has a Patreon dedicated to monsters, their lore and resources for their use in RPG, appropriately called The Monster of the Month Club.

Stu's got more plastic flotsam from the 1980s. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we take a look at Stu's new(ish) to him plastic tile puzzles from Imperial Toys, featuring gorgeous ripped-off art and bright colors (you'll have to wait until 2027 to see them on the feed, sorry). Also, D&D sliding tile puzzles and the face of the warrior fighting the dragon on the famous Elmore cover painting for the red box Basic Set.

Remember the twist ending of the Arthurian romances when Bruce Lee appears at Camlann to kick Mordred's ass? Me neither. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out The Future King, a stand-alone adventure/system by Tom Moldvay.

The end was nigh!  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we welcome the apocalypse(s) with The Stars are Right! (1992), an anthology of scenarios for Cthulhu Now (AKA Call of Cthulhu Modern).

More plastic for the sculpture gallery.  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Stu's playing with toys again! First, an amazing rarity, the Tara Toys Roll-A-Mat Dark Adventure play set (1983). Next we talk about MUSCLES and Monsters in My Pocket. Finally, there's Arrizak, a recent toy from Four Horsemen's Mythic Legion line who looks surprisingly like someone on this very show.

Once again, Stu journeys to the biggest tabletop gaming convention in the US.  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Stu reports back from GenCon 2025. How was the train? Did he survive his panel?

What lies beneath the Mucklands? The Underlands, naturally! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we welcome the creators of Land of Eem, Ben Costa and James Parks! Eem is a bit of a multimedia project, currently consisting of a series of graphic novels, young readers novels and a shockingly massive RPG. It mixes light and dark in perfect proportions for kids and adults alike. And recently nominated for a pile of Ennies, because it's that dang good. But wait, there's more: Turns out Ben and James are making their giant RPG even bigger with a massive campaign world expansion and a beginner's version of the game, currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter! * * * Instagram?

Don't play gray! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out some old catalogs from Grenadier Models. Funny thing, back when these catalogs first came out, they'd stop working after a while.

There's the Warriors of the Galaxy play set with sound effects box! * * * Check out the debut broadcast of Games People Play in the WFMU archives!

Let's get rich! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Games Omnivorous mastermind Andre Novoa about The Job: Boxset Edition! Now on Backerkit, this is the deluxe expanded edition of Andre's excellent 2023 heist game, inspired by flicks like The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven. Unlike most Games Omnivorous game products, which hew towards the OSR, The Job veers into more narrative territory, drawing inspiration from games like Apocalypse World and Dread. The result is a fast-paced, light-weight storytelling game with enough mechanical tooth to satisfy OSR-type players.

A treasure trove of counter-culture!  This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Phil Hine and Rodney Orpheus about Delinquent Elementals, a massive book collecting the best material from Pagan News, the zine they ran from 1988-1992. As Pagan News' existence paralleled and lampooned the UK Satanic Panic, we talk quite a lot about that. Also on tap: a general look at the British occult scene, how pre-internet zines anticipated the internet, comic books, RPGs and the logic of invoking invoking Star Trek's Spock instead of some 16th century demon when you need a magical solution for a computer problem. * * * Delinquent Elementals is out now.

Plan? We don't need a plan! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we make it up as we go along. We had a scheduling issue with an interview and couldn't come up with a topic on short notice, so we riffed for a bit. Stu talks about the monster book, Joseph Payne Brennan's short story "Slime" and the classic monster movie The Blob. Hambone runs down what's cooking with 321RPG, Zombie Braineaters and Crowdfund your Fucking Life. Oh, and a real live radio show gets announced! * * * Instagram? Old news.
