Events take a wild and unexpected turn as the heroes encounter the Emperor and go their separate ways. The penultimate session of the campaign! Note that we spend the first half-hour or so talking about the philosophy (and frustrations) behind Palladium's world-building choices in its sourcebooks and why there aren't a lot of Wolfen in our version of the Western Empire.

The Esoteric Order of Roleplayers ·

2020/06/04

This week's session sees plenty of thrills, chills, and spills as the heroes go after Trigom the Chaotic—but there are other factions who would like to get their hands on the sword every bit as much, and are more than willing to see blood spilled in pursuit of their quest! And who is this mysterious impresario known only as Kallus Tandu...? Join Our Discord Server! Support our Patreon! The new campaign's wiki may be found here. Follow us on social media!

It's the Esoteric Order versus Just Barbarian Things! A few weeks ago, some members of the EOR got together with Rainy and Santiago of the Just Barbarian Things podcast to play through a one-shot of Unknown Armies, the game of weird horror in the occult underground.

Special Bulletin: Format Changes and Listener Poll

2020/05/04

Hello folks, David Larkins here. Usually I come to you as the voice of the collective whole of the Esoteric Order of Roleplayers, but today I’m speaking to you from a more personal space. The EOR came together in late December 2012, a combination of new faces and old friends who I’d been gaming with in Santa Fe, New Mexico over the prior couple years. Jen and I both enjoyed listening to actual-play podcasts and thought it might be fun to start recording our own sessions and putting them out there

[Palladium RPG] "By the Sword" (Episode Three)

The Esoteric Order of Roleplayers ·

2020/04/27

As we continue to settle into online gaming (and overcome various technical hurdles), we find the heroes of our little tale venturing into a strange old mansion, even as our players explore the exciting virtual environment of Tabletop Simulator. Behold! This week's recording is much cleaner than last's, but unfortunately we did lose the last 10-15 minutes of the session due to a technical error on the part of OBS. Starting next week, we switch to Zoom, which has proven much less prone to technical

A short episode this week as we get back into the campaign after a real-world gap of three weeks between the first session and this one. The PCs take stock of the pickle they're in and get to know their mysterious rescuers a bit better before seeking out a place to lie low. Audio quality for these first couple episodes is going to be a little dodgy. Please bear with us as we work out the kinks of online gaming/recording. Join Our Discord Server! Support our Patreon!

We're back! As discussed last episode, we're getting a little nostalgic and a little experimental here on the EOR Quarantine Edition; old stalwarts David L. and Des are joined by an old friend (and ACTION INTERNATIONAL! co-author) Alex as he and David return to an old system favorite from their high school days.
