Space Marine II
The Vintage RPG Podcast
A videogame? On the Vintage RPG Podcast? Yes! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we talk Space Marine II, an excellent, pleasingly violent shooter and how it manages to be an entertaining experience despite being propaganda for the shriveled, impotent husk of the so-called Emperor of Mankind and the follies that the Adeptus Astartes commit in his name.

Toys, Toys, Toys
The Vintage RPG Podcast
More plastic for the sculpture gallery. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Stu's playing with toys again! First, an amazing rarity, the Tara Toys Roll-A-Mat Dark Adventure play set (1983). Next we talk about MUSCLES and Monsters in My Pocket. Finally, there's Arrizak, a recent toy from Four Horsemen's Mythic Legion line who looks surprisingly like someone on this very show.

Land Of Eem
The Vintage RPG Podcast
What lies beneath the Mucklands? The Underlands, naturally! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we welcome the creators of Land of Eem, Ben Costa and James Parks! Eem is a bit of a multimedia project, currently consisting of a series of graphic novels, young readers novels and a shockingly massive RPG. It mixes light and dark in perfect proportions for kids and adults alike. And recently nominated for a pile of Ennies, because it's that dang good. But wait, there's more: Turns out Ben and James are making their giant RPG even bigger with a massive campaign world expansion and a beginner's...
info_outlineLet's get rich! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Games Omnivorous mastermind Andre Novoa about The Job: Boxset Edition! Now on Backerkit, this is the deluxe expanded edition of Andre's excellent 2023 heist game, inspired by flicks like The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven. Unlike most Games Omnivorous game products, which hew towards the OSR, The Job veers into more narrative territory, drawing inspiration from games like Apocalypse World and Dread. The result is a fast-paced, light-weight storytelling game with enough mechanical tooth to satisfy OSR-type players. Grab some 6-sided dice and knock over a bank in less that three hours!
