  • The Job
    Apr 28 2025

    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. Grab some 6-sided dice and knock over a bank in less that three hours!

  • Delinquent Elementals
    Apr 21 2025

    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 Star Trek's Spock instead of some 16th century demon when you need a magical solution for a computer problem.

    * * *

    Delinquent Elementals is out now. Check out Phil's site and Rodney's site for more about their various projects.

Dungeon Master's Review (from the swamps of NJ)

I won Dungeons and Dragons, and it was advanced! I love the Vintage RPG Podast! I have been playing D&D as well as other various RPGs since 1979, and I thoroughly enjoy the nostalgia Stu and Ham Bone bring discussing vintage rpgs and other related topics.

Idiots

These 2 don't see what was happening. Trying to put a little bit of realism into the game. These are wonderful books. Yes you 2 have more experience then probably but I totally disagree with your take on these books.
