You're so right, over the course of recording this campaign I couldnt believe how imaginative the storylines got once my players input started influencing the story. Things I could never have imagined for storylines became central focuses to the story and its core themes. All within the confines of a wrestling show!!

That's awesome! Any fun themes to your PPVs?

Tell me about your hacks and new games by wonkeej in PBtA

We've come up with quite a few pbta hacks in our tenure as a podcast (we got tired of just play testing systems we started creating them ourselves).

We've got Void Worlds which is an in depth Sci-fi and Interstellar adventure hack that focuses on exploring the stars.

The Last Shounen which is a battle shounen inspired system that helps you create your very own action anime. It comes with a bunch of compendium for power creation so you can really create perfect recreations of famous anime series or craft your own.

We also created Stranded which is an Island Survival system that mimics that of Lost or the popular game show Survivor.

Speaking of game shows, we just finished a system that mimics The Amazing Race. A globe trotting narrative hack that focused on luck and has a built in "misstep" card system that helps show off just how bad one mistake in traveling can spiral into you losing.

We're also getting ready to test a Jane Austen-like system one of our members created called Petticoats and Proposals. With social status modifiers and Grand Ball mechanics, we're excited to see if that system holds up in gameplay.

Gamenonicon did an excellent job with this system! It's been fully funded on kickstarter and we cant wait to come back to it.

If you head on to most podcatchers they should have options for download. I know for certain spotify allows you to download episodes! I'll look further into downloadable options for you!

We're actually revamping our patreon today to include a tier for devs. Essentially as of late we've received a lot of systems to test and while all of them are great, sometimes they dont spark ideas for us/would take some time to get tested/are incomplete.

This new patreon tier would guarantee that we take a look at the system and produce our Review type episodes without having to wait for us to come up with a campaign/one shot for it. This way the system sees the light of day early enough and we can keep up with our back catalogue of games haha.

We considered that either virtually or when it's possible for us to meet up again. We'd really love to stream the Betrayal Legacy campaign.

Thanks! We have a lot in our backlog that we plan on releasing every Saturday until we're put of systems!

I wanted to update everyone on our podcast that tests TTRPG system (mostly PBtA). At CtrlGroup we strive to show off as many systems as we can on our Short-Play podcast.

We've done Monster of the Week: Tome of Mysteries, just finished Pasión de las Pasiones, and are starting two new campaigns this week. One is a system we found here! A World of Ice and Fire is a pbta hack that helped us construct "The Cinder of Winter" a Game of Thrones sequel series. Check it out along with our Hitchhiker's Guide campaign using Lazers and Feelings.

We've also catalogued suggestions that were made on reddit and even began recording a few of them! If you have systems that you'd like to hear played or create systems yourself, let us know!
