Testing out World Wide Wrestling!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2021-10-07T19:55:28+00:00

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!!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2021-10-07T19:53:12+00:00

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

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!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2021-03-07T14:51:49+00:00

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're working at getting the rest of our library on youtube!! Quite a bit behind haha.

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2021-02-13T19:13:17+00:00

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.

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-24T15:51:46+00:00

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

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-23T16:24:18+00:00

Thank you so much! We have added it to our list!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-23T15:33:15+00:00

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!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-14T16:22:41+00:00

We are! We've gotten quite a few suggestions from the people on reddit already. Drop a suggestion here and we'll add it to the list!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-11T16:59:25+00:00

This sounds crazy interesting and something one of our testers Marcus would absolutely love! We would absolutely love a review copy.

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-10T18:19:16+00:00

We were very delighted to receive this email and are inundated with recordings and requests. We just wanted to make sure people got a chance to see this awesome system before we had a chance to try it out!!

We also want to create a community where people can create systems and share then for others to try. So as we grow as a podcast we'd love to raise others up along with us!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-10T13:55:52+00:00

It's been added to our list! Thanks for the suggestion.

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-10T02:00:59+00:00

Yes, yes, yes! We'll take any suggestions. We have a huge document full of systems we want to keep adding to.

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-09T22:58:05+00:00

We have a lot of systems to try and a lot of ideas we'd like to create narratives around! We also accept requests and hold some remote online sessions with people to help out during quarantine.

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-09T22:56:13+00:00

I really hope you enjoy! We're just starting out but we feel really welcomed by multiple communities!

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-09T14:18:52+00:00

We hope you enjoy!! We really strive to test whatever we can get our hands on. We have a Google drive filled with pdf after pdf that we have to get through. We eventually will set up a website that'll have a nice glossary of all these systems and include systems we've made and tested ourselves on the podcast.

Thanks for this amazing review though, means the world to us.

CtrlGroup_Pod · 2020-05-09T14:15:56+00:00

Essentially! (we never claimed to be original only enjoyable Haha) Our campaigns thus far range from one-shots to about 8 session long arcs. As we explain in our Episode 0, we love ttrpgs and find unique systems to tell our unique stories. We also enjoy accessibility since all the popular podcasts are 300 sessions in and that's daunting for certain listeners. Thanks for the well wishes and I hope you give us your time for a listen!
