    What are you listening to?

    Picked up The Complete Works [MISPRINT] of Ivor Biggun this week, so I've largely been indulging in smutty juvenile nonsense like this: ***OBLIGATORY RUDENESS WARNING*** I mean really, how can you deny the poetry of this opening couplet? "John Thomas Allcock, he lives northeast of...

    [MSPE] How well does it handle the "spies" part of its title?

    You may already be familiar with it, but here's an appreciation of the game on I Waste the Buddha with My Crossbow. It touches on the main points of MSPE, including how the real genre support is in the essays.

    I was hoping you could help me decide among all these great pulp games!

    The 5th edition Hero System sourcebook Pulp Hero, by Steven S. Long and S. John Ross, remains my favourite book for pulp, packed with information and ideas and easy to use with other games if you prefer not to run Hero.

    Favorite Aliens from TTRPGs?

    The Kleibor from Pacesetter's Star Ace. You're a clumsy, genial giant, looking like a twelve foot tall polar bear wearing mittens, have telepathic and telekinetic abilities, and the central motivation of your people is to have fun. Has there ever been a more attractive player character option?

    RPG History: An oral history of wars that never were?

    I've posted a link to this thread on Mastodon, which has received some attention from the RPG community there. This advert from Tri-Tac (Fantasy Gamer issue 6, June/July 1984, Steve Jackson Games) is a nice example of how prevalent the fear of impending nuclear war was, a comical shrug of the...

    I need a stupid monster (conceptually stupid, not low intelligence stupid)

    Creatures about the size of pugs whose wailing cry makes themselves and others of their species—but nothing else—desperately suicidal, which upsets them and makes them wail even more. They flock to anything they think might kill them, such as a party of adventurers, and won't take no for an answer.

    Tell me about SPI's 'Universe' RPG

    I used to have a copy but did little with it, never really finding a reason why I wouldn't just play Traveller instead since I already knew those rules. I seem to recall a rumour that the author was not actually very familiar with RPGs when he wrote it.
