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. There's Stu's new radio show, Games People Play (co-hosting with Unwinnable's own Sara Clemens)! There's Hambone's reaction to Sinners! There's the Rifts calendar! There's the Warriors of the Galaxy play set with sound effects box! * * * Check out the debut broadcast of Games People Play in the WFMU archives! As of now, we're filling in for other shows, so we don't have a regular time slot. Hopefully in the summer! Next show is Friday, May 16, 6pm - 7pm. * * * Want to reuse a calendar?

Clint Marsh, creator of the Fiddler's Green Peculiar Parish Magazine, dives into the enchanting world of zines, RPGs, and esoteric themes. He shares his journey through childhood curiosities about the occult, fueled by the cultural phenomena like the Satanic Panic. The conversation explores the joys of tangible media in a digital age, the artistic inspirations behind his magazine, and the vibrant connection between zine culture and tabletop gaming. Plus, get a glimpse of what's coming next for Fiddler's Green on Kickstarter!

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, light-weight storytelling game with enough mechanical tooth to satisfy OSR-type players.

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.
