Been thinking a lot about the previous boom/bust cycles of RPGs and whether we'll see that as much going forward. Willing to bet we probably will!
Real Play Games Pod
@realplaygamespod.bsky.social
An actual play TTRPG podcast where GM John runs his friends through a variety of systems and genres. New episodes every Friday.
6-8 weeks for delivery. It's very hard for people who weren't there to comprehend how much further abroad you'd have to go to find something or how long you'd have to wait for something on order in the 80s.

Was gonna back Sword World but 175 dollars for a digital tier? Hard pass, sure it's gonna do gangbusters but too rich for my blood for something I can already get with a different game.
Finally, someone made a vehicle for family annihilators who're too chickenshit to shoot their kids.

Did too much cleaning even with a mask on and now I've gotten a touch of the bleach sickness
So they're a little thinner than I'd anticipated and they're airing out because of the plastic-y smell, but these're the tuffest sleeves I've gotten yet for my cards and only one company had the guts to print them. It's a public domain image, Dragon Shield, get brave!
Either we're stupid popular in Singapore or there's going to be some real fucked up LLMs coming out of that country in a year or so that talk about cumming on piles of eggs and why socialism actually rules.
Wrapping Chapter 1 of Kingmaker tonight, which we've been recording since the beginning of 2025. Will be sad to not be playing it for a little bit but a break is also sorely needed. Hope you enjoy it when it drops because we've got a shitload of recordings!

Ran Marvel Multiverse for the first time and it was a pretty smooth system, not for the pod, but man I'm exhausted after it. Might need a couple weeks of recuperation time from running stuff in a few months, glad our backlog never fucking ends!
All of our miniseries end up running like 50+% longer than they're supposed to when we play them and that's the Real Play Games Podcast difference that you can taste.
We hit a pretty big milestone around the start of April this year and it's wild that we're already almost 20% of the way towards hitting it again because that first one took FIVE YEARS. Thanks to everyone who've listened thus far, or given us a boost or a shout-out. It means a lot.

Got a business email about something, checked the bottom and it said, "sent by an AI agent", blocked the sender and here we are. We don't do business with people who can't even be fucked to reach out to us directly like a human being does.
