    Get in the Van
    Apr 15 2024

    This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we talk to John Patrick Cooper about Get in the Van, his live music-themed Troika hack. Form a band (hardcore, hair or thrash) in the year 198X, hit the road, do battle with the audience, rock their faces off and get to the next gig. A tight, fun little ode to the road dog life. Also, surprise, Cooper designed Dead Mall, our favorite Tunnel Goons hack about exploring monster-filled abandoned malls, so we talked about that some too!

  • Dragon's Lair

    Dragon's Lair
    Apr 8 2024

    There may be a million ways to die, but you’re probably only going to see the first two or three. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we’re remembering the classic coin-eating arcade game, Dragon’s Lair (1983). That’s the one that features the cell-shaded, professionally animated (by Don frickin’ Bluth!) adventure of Dirk the Daring that was hidden behind an endless series of near-impossible reflex tests. An exercise in beautiful frustration that nevertheless contributed much to the visual language of fantasy in the ‘80s and beyond!

    Arkham
    Apr 1 2024

    If the Colour is out of Space it should maybe consider weeding some of its shelves, amirite? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we’re going back to witch-haunted Arkham, Massachusetts by way of Chaosium’s latest edition of the Arkham sourcebook (previously known as Arkham Unveiled, H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham and The Compact Arkham Unveiled). This is a ground-up renovation of Keith Herber’s original text by Mike Mason and it is everything you’d want from such a project. The old stuff feels new, the new stuff blends in, the whole package feels fresh and exciting. A new street map! A genuine newspaper! A social reputation system! Ghouls! What more could you want? A better lead-in joke? Hambone doesn’t have a monopoly on bad jokes, sorry.

    Stu's pretty sure that at one point in the show, he says The Lurker at the Threshold when he meant "The Thing on the Doorstep." His confusion is understandable.

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.
