Title: Actual Play media (podcast or video) - non-woke
Post by: Shteve on January 25, 2025, 06:51:38 PM
I admit, I'm brand new to this forum, having recently fled Reddit due to it's most recent meltdown about Nazis everywhere - maybe even in your cereal! - and I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum to post - correct me if I'm wrong. (But damn am I glad to have found this site)

I'm wondering if anyone has some good Actual Play resources - preferably not D&D - that don't have inclusion quotas and just focuses on cool game play. I am looking to understand how the particular RPG is played, so if they're too loose with the rules I will probably be disappointed.

Whatcha got?

Which game(s) specifically are you interested in?

The 3TRPG podcast has a few actual plays they've released, its mostly a discussion podcast though about RPGs in general.  Kinda fun to listen to, but they're quite busy with a bunch of things in their lives so post new episodes very infrequently.

I don't have a specific list, though non-fantasy genres are probably more interesting to me because I have almost 0 experience with them as RPGs, so learning how they run (with good players) is what I'm looking for. Sci-fi is definitely one (I found a couple Traveller ones) and horror (found a Delta Green that's pretty good). But any examples of good play are instructive to me.

Pink Fowawk (Shadowrun 2E): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClQR8Pn6lopqJwXGcSMtW0A

I don't recall any woketardedness in that one.

SINless (Shadowrun 3E):

One of the guys in that one is obnoxious and narcissistic, and I can't tell if it's the player or the character, but overall it's good. I'm listening to Season 2.

Both can be gotten in podcast form. I don't know what you use to grab casts, so I don't know what to link to.

All good - you've given enough info to hunt them down. Thanks!
