The Roleplaying Exchange Podcast

Tornadoes, floods, cracked ribs, and a ribbon rivalry. Gen Con 2026 had it all.  Actually, we had a great time and can't wait to go back.   Join us as the wrap-up all the fun and games.

Four agents get a simple assignment: a retired consultant for the program has died of a heart attack in his DC apartment, and his family arrives in 48 hours. Get in, find anything that ties him to Delta Green, and get out before anyone asks questions. But Clyde Bowman left behind more than old tax receipts, and some loose ends don’t stay buried. Note: This game gets rushed during the end due to time constraints. Adam - GM Brownie - Mick McMurdie - A government-badged security contractor who keeps duct tape, rope, and a shovel in his SUV and doesn’t need to be told twice Darcy - Dr. Palmer - An anthropologist dragged out of a Canadian Arctic field study five months in, running on airport coffee and zero sleep Jeremy - Agent Cornwall - An FBI interrogator on his third marriage, whose way with little old ladies is a weapon in its own right Crazon - Dr. Kamarov - An FBI forensic pathologist who had to skip his son’s superhero movie for this, and is quietly keeping score

Shaken by a nightmare he can't shake off, the siblings find themselves in a race against the clock: whatever's happened to Anna, they've got two weeks to fix it.

Cast David - GM Adam - Assie - A dark elf rogue who aged out of the orphanage and never quite left trouble behind — now sporting a very bad case of nightmares Crazon - Caroline Ensis - A wood elf ranger who goes nowhere without her squirrel companion, Sigismund Josh - Tate - A good-natured half-elf fighter with more muscle than subtlety

In this episode of David takes the helm and guides us through character creation in Scum and Villainy – a Forged in the Dark space opera RPG where odd jobs, sketchy company, and questionable life choices are part of the job description. Song: Dusty Frontier
