We’re joined once again by Kevin Siembieda of Palladium Books, for the sixth part in our big retrospective series of chats. This time, much to Matthew’s eternal childlike joy, we’re talking about how the original Robotech RPG came into existence. We talk art, licensing, fandom, gamemastering and more. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!
Thanks for joining us, dear listeners, for the next awaited episode in our super awesome “A Palladium Retrospective” discussion episodes with the man himself, Kevin Siembieda of Palladium Books! This time we’re talking about how the game _Beyond the Supernatural_ came to be, and how it continued to evolve for over three decades. Give us a listen and you might get some hints of things to come!
We’re back with our annual post-convention report from the recent Wagoncon 8. Wagoncon is our official home con, right here in the Pacific Northwest, and always a good time for all. This year we had several of our listeners join us for the first time, and we’re hoping to add more next year! Give us a listen, then drop by the Discord to learn more about the awesomeness that is Wagoncon.
We never got around to giving Just Jacob and official welcome to the show, so in this episode we’re doing just that. Much like Matthew and NPC did in the early episodes, Jacob tells us more about what got him into Palladium, and his favorite loves of their games.
In this episode we welcome our good friend Kylee, one of the most interesting human beings we know here in the city of Portland. Kylee regales us with stories of weird bar fights, his time as an acrobat and stilt walker, and his venture into running a company that makes home-roasted spicy peanut butter (and it’s delicious, too).
Xander has started a new event at the Star Theater! It’s a crafty cocktail competition with fun and flair, called ConCocktail. In this episode he tells us all why everyone should go and enjoy the show, and the many unusual (and evil) drinks it has spawned.
We’re back for the second session of our extended Mothership RPG actual play campaign, recorded here in the studio in the Pre-COVID days of early 2020. We continue where we left off in the last session, getting into deadly shenanigans on the doomed Serendipity Station.
Welcome back, dear listeners! This episode kicks off a new series of actual play featuring the excellent indie sci-fi horror RPG, Mothership. These sessions were initially recorded at the very beginning of 2020, but due to the chaos from the onset of the COVID-19 quarantine in the US, NPC was unable to get around to editing them until the end of the year. I don’t want to spoil the surprises of the session, so go on and give it a listen!
This is another part of the big “2020 Close-out!” backlog rush, and as such the notes here are at a minimum.
In this character jam, we follow up on the previous Firefly jam, and finally make the most important character of all: our ship!
NOTE: This episode kicks off a major effort to clear out the editing backlog in the final weeks of 2020. The show notes on these are kept at a minimum until we clear out the log, which ends with the last of our new Mothership RPG Actual Play sessions.
In this new Character Jam, we make an _awesome_ set of new heroes for the excellent Firefly RPG. Please give it a listen, and then check out the special bonus Part 2 episode on Patreon, where we later meet back up and create our ship!
