Sometimes you just gotta shoot the breeze, ya know? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, it's a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Embark on a quest for the most perfect green paper!

The Job

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/04/28

Let's get rich! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Games Omnivorous mastermind Andre Novoa about The Job: Boxset Edition! Now on Backerkit, this is the deluxe expanded edition of Andre's excellent 2023 heist game, inspired by flicks like The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven. Unlike most Games Omnivorous game products, which hew towards the OSR, The Job veers into more narrative territory, drawing inspiration from games like Apocalypse World and Dread. The result is a fast-paced,

Delinquent Elementals

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/04/21

A treasure trove of counter-culture! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Phil Hine and Rodney Orpheus about Delinquent Elementals, a massive book collecting the best material from Pagan News, the zine they ran from 1988-1992. As Pagan News' existence paralleled and lampooned the UK Satanic Panic, we talk quite a lot about that. Also on tap: a general look at the British occult scene, how pre-internet zines anticipated the internet, comic books, RPGs and the logic of invoking invoking

What We're Working On

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/04/14

Plan? We don't need a plan! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we make it up as we go along. We had a scheduling issue with an interview and couldn't come up with a topic on short notice, so we riffed for a bit. Stu talks about the monster book, Joseph Payne Brennan's short story "Slime" and the classic monster movie The Blob. Hambone runs down what's cooking with 321RPG, Zombie Braineaters and Crowdfund your Fucking Life. Oh, and a real live radio show gets announced! * * * Instagram? Old news

Through the Hedgerow

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/03/31

You never know what you might find down the old straight track. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look at Through the Hedgerow, an RPG game steeped in a perfect brew of British folklore. Play as agents of the Light, moved through time to oppose the rising Dark in a brilliant extrapolation of stories like Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising sequence, Alan Garner's work and even, maybe, a hint of Narnia. Face challenges, take frequent tea breaks, play as a giant spider impersonating a human --

Sickest Witch

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/03/24

Which sick witch is the sickest witch? You! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Justin Sirois of Severed Books stops in to tell us all about the Sickest Witch RPG. Born of both a now out-of-print board game and, sorta, out of an earlier RPG, Sickest Witch has you harvesting and salting body parts of their enemies to cast horrible spells in order to have your revenge on/smash your oppressors. Perfect theming for our current moment. * * * Follow and back Sickest Witch on Kickstarter! * * *

Super7 D&D Toys

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/03/10

Still playing with toys after all these years. As promised, this week on the Vintage RPG Podcast we chat about the latest Dungeons & Dragons toys from Super7. That giant Tiamat comes up again, as well as wave 1 of their 6-inch figures based on the '80s cartoon series (which means we also talk again about those crap Hasbro figures).

Hobgoblin

2025/03/03

What's the point of painting all these miniatures if they're never going to see the battlefield? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Stu breaks down and admits he really wants to play a miniature wargame: Mike Hutchinson's Hobgoblin! It's a lightweight, minis agnostic, quick-playing set of rule to get your miniatures on the table and killing each other as fast as possible.

A Fantastic Bestiary

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/02/24

Oh, the Libyan Gorgon. [Tries to look like he knows what he's talking about] This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we crack open an ur-Monster Manual, Ernst and Johanna Lehner's 1969 A Fantastic Bestiary. Essentially a Dover clip art book (and reissued by Dover under a different title) with some light historical context, there are textual clues that seem to indicate it was an important reference work for Gygax and company. And I think it might have partly inspired the idea of a highly illustrated

When the Sky Comes Looking for You

2025/02/17

Who needs the sky, anyway? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Yamil about When the Sky Comes Looking for You, a zine for both Weird Frontiers and Dungeon Crawl Classics. Hired by a luchador loan-shark to collect a debt, the characters need to stop an airship before it gets to the otherworldly Near to make good on the contract. Sorcery, monsters, worms -- all in a day's work, right? * * * Back When the Sky Comes Looking for You on Kickstarter now! * * * Instagram? Old news. Join the

Sqwürmish

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

2025/02/10

Have you done all you can to prevent a würm infestation? I doubt it. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Brian Colin about Sqwürmish, a delightfully gross, over-the-top miniature skirmish game for his Vast Grim RPG setting. Derived from Forbidden Psalm, in Sqwürmish you build a crew, pop 'em on the table and do your damnedest to survive, preferably without getting infested with würms (ew). Like Forbidden Psalm, you can play with any old miniatures you have laying around, but this

Glumdark

2025/02/03

I think the horrible little spider guy might be up to no good. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Christopher Drellow joins us to discuss Glumdark, a collection of system neutral random tables that will inject plenty of darkness, terror, vileness, random teeth and silliness into your campaign. Yup, silliness too! Inspired by grim and perilous RPGs of the past and present, but also by early bookmaking practices, and brought to squalid life by the artist Vil with illustrations both horrible and

Gotta build some muscles to swing a sword (and some cardio to run from monsters)! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we talk to designer Tyler Welch and illustrator Graham Barey about their new exercise-oriented zine The Adventurer's Guide to Exercise. Tyler's a personal trainer and has created a work-out regimen tailored to your inner Fighter, Thief or Ranger in the hopes of inspiring folks in our very sit-around hobby to get more active and mighty.

Fabled Lands

The Vintage RPG Podcast ·

Adventure gamebook? How about an adventure gameworld? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look at Fabled Lands, a seven-volume series of adventure gamebooks by Dave Morris, Jamie Thompson and Paul Gresty, featuring art by the legendary Russ Nicholson. Unlike most gamebooks, which tell one story, each volume of Fabled Lands is dedicated to a single region of a larger world, allowing for sandbox-style exploration and many, many possible quests. You can get lost in the threads! * * * Instagram
