Retro Role Cast
"A serious roleplaying campaign played by deeply unserious people."
We are a tabletop roleplaying actual play podcast featuring games that remind us of our gaming roots! Currently playing a modified Version of Old School Essentials (Advanced) by Gavin Norman, one of many retro offshoots of the world's most popular role playing game. We borrow rules and content from many sources, but are currently using (in no particular order), Old School Feats by Eric Diaz, Into The Wyrd and Wild by Charles Furgeson-Avery, Into the Wild by Todd Leback, The Axian Library by Guiseppe Rotondo, and the Monster Overhaul by Skerples, amongst other sources.
In season one we played Low Fantasy Gaming by Pickpocket Press, Its sequel game Tales of Argosa is soon to be released and comes highly recommended by all of us, stop by Pickpocket Games on the web for more info!
also appearing: Dungeon Crawl Classics by Goodman Games (released), and Forbidden Lands by Free League (coming soon)
