Role Playing Public Radio

I interviewed Peter Petrusha of Imagining Games about his latest work at Gencon this year. He spoke about Chew the RPG, Roguelike, and Teenage Ninja Fighting School. We also spoke about his work on the new Ghost in the Shell RPG from Mana Project Studios, the Forged in the Dark system, the cyberpunk genre, and more.

In this episode we review Blood in the Slave Pits, an adventure for Legendquest, which apparently was the RPG for people that wanted a game that makes sense. We also look at Twilight 2000 and Airlords of the Ozarks, the only Ozarks themed adventure in RPG history about evil airlords using blimps to reign over the Midwest. There’s also discussion about the cinematic genius that is Zack Snyder and think about what films he could reinvent with his unique and brilliant style.

I have another RPG podcast, Ludonarrative Dissidents with celebrated game designers Greg Stolze and James Wallis. In each episode, we review a single RPG title or discuss a game mechanic. We recently completed season 3 and are going to launch a Kickstarter on October 13 to fund a fourth season.

This live episode discusses what will be new for the fourth season. We plan to have shorter book reviews in our live episodes, along with special segments. To that end, I review the new Mothership bounty hunting supplement, Wages of Sin.

We’re also hosting a book club on game design, where each host reads and discusses multiple books with backers.

Writing a RPG can seem daunting, but creators now have more options and tools available to help them. Do you want to write a game from scratch or use an existing open system? What steps should you take first? How long does it take? Peter Petrusha of Imagining Games (Chew, Dreamchaser), Ross Payton (Base Raiders, Role Playing Public Radio podcast), Caleb Stokes (Red Markets, Delta Green: God’s Teeth), and Julian Kay (Mutants in the Now) have answers. This panel was recorded at Gen Con 2026.
