In this episode, Alex and Lara are joined by our first Orange Groves sibling, Chris, and together we are striving to recreate the experience of REAL hacking, as revealed to us in movies of the mid-nineties. Rezz up your cyber-rig, and let’s get… hacky.

The Prompt: Swordfish or Hackers style hacking based rpg that doesn't use a f***ing block tower

Special Guest: Chris

In this episode, Alex and Lara are joined by Mariam, and the three of us have been presented with a prompt inspired by a fairly recent System Mastery episode about a game that needed more jacked shirtless animal gods in it. And so we have provided, along with just a radical number of double-entendres.

The Prompt: Jacked Shirtless Animal Gods

Special Guest: Mariam

Episode Notes

Gosh, we hope you A) liked Animorphs and B) only kind of remember all the details about Animorphs, because Alex and Lara and special guest Legendary Vermin are going to talk a lot about Animorphs and then make an Animorphs game that's actually a, uh, god's eye view competetive civilization game?

Y'all, it makes more sense in context, but that doesn't actually mean it makes sense.

Prompt: Animorphs, the roleplaying game

Special Guest: Legendary Vermin

Episode Notes

In this episode we’re doing something a little different, as our very first Reverse Unplaytested! That’s right, instead of rolling off the Big List, guest designer Lucas came to Alex and Lara with an idea, so that we could help him turn it into a game. What if Dracula, but also cyber?

The Prompt: Cyber Castle Digital Dracula

Special Guest: Lucas

What, no Alex? That's right, he's been banished to the place of dust and shadow, leaving behind Lara, friend of the show Ash, and most importantly, Gail! And gosh, is Gail ever here, because in this game you will be playing an entire multiverse's worth of iterations of her. Evil Gail, clown Gail, aquatic Gail, puppet Gail... the gang's all here, ready to explore the most dangerous regions of space and die trying.

The Prompt: All PCs are Eclipse Phase-style forks of the same individual.

Special Guest: Ash Cheshire
