When Twi'Lek Noble Pratari Tara'Cahma is hired by the Sith and Republic to oversee negotiation talks pertaining to the peaceful transition of power on Coruscant...almost everyone dies. Some justly, some unjust. Death is the only truly democratic institution in the unniverse.

Jameer, Baleroc, Brutus and Kevlar have thwarted the great lich Azalin. Or so they thought. It turns out they've played along with his dastardly plans. Now they find themselves at a crossroads with a decision that could shape the fate of Ravenloft and every other realm that has ever been. Do they have the strength to plunge into darkness once more and end this evil or has Ravenloft worn them out and whittled away their will? Their choice may surprise you...it surprised me! Stay tuned for future episode including the Star Wars campaign 'Half Way to Han'!

Deep beneath the foundation stones of Castle Avernus, Azalin the lich hatches his plots. The grand conjunction is coming, when all the lands and lords of Ravenloft will be set free upon the realms of man. Azalin does not intend to let this oppurtunity slip by. All he needs are a few dead bodies. Fortunately, there is a party of adventurers nearby...

Fresh from files of Ravenloft...No one is who they used to be. What type of curse is this? Everyone is the same but with different identities, different memories. What is this strange effect in the realm of Darkon? Prelude to the adventure "From the Shadows".

During Christmas festivities this past year we ran an impromptu game of Paranoia with experienced and first time players. This is the result. There were some holly jolly libations imbibed and that may be reflected in the manner of the game. ENJOY!

NOTE: This recording is from a con, as such, audio quality is rather hard to hear. We recommend using headphones. One of our very own (the mastermind behind the infamous 'The Sad Tale of the Hammer of Leroy' and 'Darkness of the Divine)  ran his first game at a local Con this year. He didn't quite have the turn out he hoped for but made the best of it. Send your encouragement for him to NERPAP@yahoo.com!

Happy Holidays from NERPA! Howabout some undead and player character suffering to go with your eggnog and festivities? Enjoy!

For more information on Carnage Con check out http://www.carnagecon.com/ and for FIASCO check out http://www.bullypulpitgames.com/games/fiasco/ NOTE: This is a Con recording so audio quality is lower than normal. Headphones are recommended for listening to this episode!

YOU ARE IN ERROR. NO ONE IS SCREAMING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. The Computer is happy. The Computer is crazy. The Computer will help you become happy. This will drive you crazy. Being a citizen of Alpha Complex is fun. The Computer says so, and The Computer is your friend. Many traitors threaten Alpha Complex. Many happy citizens live in Alpha Complex. Most happy citizens are crazy. Which are more dangerous traitors or happy citizens? Rooting out traitors will make you happy. The Computer tells you so. If you are not happy, The Computer will use you as reactor shielding. Being a Troubleshooter is fun. The Computer tells you so. Do you doubt The Computer, citizen? Troubleshooters get shot at, stabbed, mangled, incinerated, poisoned, stapled, blown to bits and accidentally executed. This is so much fun many Troubleshooters go crazy. You work with many Troubleshooters. They all carry lasers. Aren t you glad you have a laser too? Won t this be fun? Stay alert! Trust no one! Keep your laser handy! NOTE: All players are members of both a Secret Society and have a Mutant power. They all believe they are the only ones with such features. FUN FUN! Also we seem to be missing the last 15 minutes...SPOILER (they all died). FUN! When PARANOIA was first published almost 20 years ago, amid fears of nuclear war and job loss to those newfangled desktop PCs, it was instantly popular for its vision of a high-tech, post-holocaust, totalitarian future ruled by a deranged Computer. It won attention too for turning the basic paradigm of RPGs players cooperate on its head, making all players secret traitors who can only advance by uncovering treason. Happily, today those fears are obsolete. Instead, we have spam, viruses, trojans, malware, distributed denial of service attacks, the RIAA, cyberwarfare, identify theft, terrorists, the Patriot Act, terrifying new diseases, the threat of environmental catastrophe, the grey goo scenario, and weapons of mass destruction.

There's trouble brewing in Gotham! The League has lost contact with Professor Charles Xavier and Batman. In an effort to get intel, the League has drafted a new unit to go in and find out what is going and why everyone (including the villians) are after Joker. If Iron Man, Hannibal Lecter, Patrick Bateman, Tyler Durden and Naruto can't solve the problem, no one can! NERPAP@yahoo.com https://www.facebook.com/NERPAP

Archimedes 7 is a colony ship traveling from our solar system to a distant world. A small piece of tin protecting its inhabitants from the dangers of the void. But the real danger is already inside the ship...Archimedes 7 is the final chapter in a series of Call of Cthulhu scenarios all linked by the Yellow Sign. The series was created by John Wick and more information can be found at his website johnwickpresents.com and linked in the notes of this podcast episode. At the site you can purchase the entire Yellow Sign trilogy of stories for a very, very reasonable price. If you, or your group are planning on running any of these adventures, we suggest you stop listening now unless you will be leading the game. For those of you still with us. Why don't you pull up a monitor and view what is going on currently on the Archimedes 7 as it hurtles, off course, through the empty void that is space...

From the Bangor Daily News.. Convenience Store Mystery-Wendy CarsonAccording to several local sources, the Weyport Zipp N’ Pik store has become the landlocked equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle: when the store’s morning shift arrived, they found the store empty and called the police. When the police arrived, they quickly determined that all of the cars were missing their drivers and passengers. Police are currently investigating the matter. While the police have yet to release an official statement, reliable sources have reported that there may be as many as twelve people missing. The source also indicated that the police have the security video from the store, but have yet to comment publicly on them.The local authorities claim that the situation is under control and that tourists should not be deterred from visiting Weyport because of this mystery. That's what the paper said. Now a reality TV show called "Spectre Ops" is going to the scene to film one of their ghost hunter style shows. Naturally, since ghosts aren't real this will just be like every other assignment. Surely nothing will go wrong... The scenario 'Clean up, Aisle four!' was written by Michael C. LaBossiere NOTE: We aplogize for the lower than standard audio quality. Enjoy!

Meanwhile in Castle Tristenoira...time changes. That's fun. NOTE: First segment from this recording is missing (again). Our apologies...basically they ride up to the Castle and in a lower, outer gate tower run into some Goblyns that are hidden in refuse. =)

Blood in Moondale: This is one of the adventures expected to occur after the players have been in Ravenloft for a while. It’s designed for three to six characters of 3rd to 5th level. It’s an adventure about broken trust and betrayal. This adventure takes place sometime in the winter at a place called the Moondale Inn (in the village of Moondale). A village plagued by vicious wolf attacks. The players are asked by Captain Rapacion of the local county militia to aid him in ridding the snow covered village of the menace. However, Captain Rapacian hides a darker motive. Just a little bit of fleshing out can take this short adventure to new heights. It gives a rich role-playing opportunity when the players hit it off with Dante Lysin (proprietor of the local inn). Dante too hides a dark secret, one that illustrates a “shades of gray” philosophy in Ravenloft. Who can the players trust when the wolf attacks suddenly target them? This adventure would work best by introducing Captain Rapacian a few sessions before beginning. There should be a certain level of trust between the Captain and the players, so as to not give away the whole story. The adventure even suggests substituting the Captain for another trusted NPC if you must. Again, every NPC introduced in this module could become a recurring character.

The mists are back and fittingly (as happened before) recordings are showing up missing! This episode takes place just a few hours of gameplay after the last one and picks up about a quarter of the way into the adventure Feast of Goblyns... After finding themselves in Ravenloft again, the PC's help defend a small homestead from Wolfweres and then head to the nearby Town of Skald to meet up with a woman named Akriel. In Skald they located the Old Kartakan Inn and bunk down for the evening...and cock block the DM by refusing to go on an adventure. C'est la vie! Keep sending your emails (you always make our days with that) to NERPAP@yahoo.com peace and love, peace and love.

"This is where Pathfinder dies" Our DM muttered. He was tired, cranky and being a bit snarky. That sardonicism and snarkiness was passed on to the players and it caught like...despondent fire. The result? Our WORST session ever. Take a listen (if you can) and hear how bad a game of Pathfinder can get...complete with really bad player decisions at the end Everyone got upset and the vibe was really weird. Who knows if we'll ever even play it again?!? Should we throw in the Pathfinder towel? Let us know at NERPAP@yahoo.com and https://www.facebook.com/NERPAP
