The Advanced Age Roleplaying Gamers Podcast

Like a music box in a funeral home, the Mithril Maidens have no sooner dispatched the cursed water elemental when they hear mournful singing coming from the dark corridors ahead of them. Drawn to it like a moth to flame, or a band trying to figure out who their openers are going to be, they delve even further into the horror filled catacombs. It's been a wild ride up to this point, but these metal...

The Mithril Maidens have finally had something to eat that isn't cursed or leg of Sam. They rest up and press on past the flooded chamber and hall and into another part of the catacombs that is filled with even more danger and right when the group thinks they have dried off, they find themselves in a very wet encounter. Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws is an actual-play TTRPG set in a homebrew world...

The AARPGs bring back Tony, Dave and Kurt from 23rd Century Productions to talk about updates to their successful Kickstarter for Fully Armored and the upcoming Savage Worlds port of Battlelords of the 23rd Century. It was a lot of fun to have them back and talk about their projects, as well as, a little bit about our experiences playing in the dark and humorous Battlelords setting for an upcoming...

The Mithril Maidens, having defeated the host of undead, delve deeper into the cellars beneath the abbey where they find their way out blocked by a sunken chamber with an iron gate barring their way. The rusty mechanism that appears to control the gate rests some 20 feet below the surface of the cold, dark water. How will they overcome this challenge, and what new horror will they find in the Drow...

The AARPG is very excited to announce that one of our long-time friends, Malcolm, has rejoined the podcast. Malcolm appeared in the first few episodes of our Aliens Destroyer of Worlds story arc but due to some real-world commitments could not finish the story with us. Malcolm will be returning to the podcast for the second chapter of Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws "Baking the Law", which now that...

The band has been betrayed by Randal, the apple eating scribe, and plunged into the catacombs below the abbey. Now, after getting some much needed rest, and for one of the band, a full belly of questionable food, the group sets off into the catacombs to find the source of the corruption. They will face new dangers and finally learn the answer to the question - is it worse to be attacked by zombies...

The members of the Mithril Maidens continue their deadly fight against the corrupted Dryad and her twisted trees in the dark swamps. They may have found the missing humans, but they will also uncover clues that all might not be right within the walls of the Abbey. Will they uncover the cause of this foul corruption or will they become the next meal in the Eternal Harvest? Sex, Drugs, and Saving Th...

Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws EP04 “Unrest in the Forest” In this episode the members of Mithril Maidens have completed their quest by delivering the druidic book to the Abbey’s head scholar, Master Sylmar, an elf of unusual size and mannerisms. The band has been invited to a feast and even offered a chance for a paid gig to perform. All they need to do now is relax and get ready for their show. E...

In this episode, the members of the Mithril Maidens have reached the Abbey and found themselves in a refugee camp, just outside the Abbey's walls. There is a great to-do about soup and the band meets Randall, a scribe at the abbey with an obsession with apples. The group gets a tour of the abbey grounds and meets the captain of the guard. Pants will be dropped and blades will be drawn before the g...

Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws – EP02 “Riding the Bulette” Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws is a Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition actual-play podcast.

A heavy metal band, the Mithril Maidens, are down on their luck and looking for their next big score. They are approached by a secretive half-elf and a gnomish scholar with an offer to make a lot of gold quick. All they have to do is take a book on gardening and animal husbandry to an abbey about a days travel outside of the capital. It should be a cake walk, but things have a way of taking a dark...

It is the end of the world as we know it and it is also the end of our story, for now. The remaining survivors flee the college as the Soviet assault continues. Bleeding, bruised, burned, and carrying with them one of their own, fallen in battle, the group stops by the river east of the college, near the bridge that will lead them east toward Zofie's home town. It is a moment of rest, healing, a t...

Hello, it is that time again. The Advanced Age Roleplaying Gamers Podcast will be releasing the next, and second to last, episode of their actual-play podcast - It's Always Cloudy in Kalisz, which is set in the grim apocalyptic world of Twilight 2000 4E, tomorrow, Tuesday November 16th. Episode 16 - "The Last Action Hero" finds our group of survivors still fighting for their lives at the College,...

Chaos persists at the College.  Our gang is split up into three groups, each fighting their own life or death battles as the Soviet troops close in on them.   Thank you for listening. If you have made it this far into the story, we really hope you are enjoying it and having a laugh between serious bits.  So if you would really like to help us reach more people, please consider leaving us a review...

So as we close on our final three episodes in our current story arch we wanted to flip the switch on the way-back machine, back to March of 2021, when we sat down and created our characters. If you want to get a feel for how a lifepath session plays out at a table, give us a watch.   If you want to see how your most/least favorite character from "It's Always Cloudy in Kalisz" came to be, give it a...

Hello and welcome to our next installment of Between Two GMs where your Co-Hosts Nathan and Matt sit down and talk to creators within the Table Top Roleplaying Game community. In this episode, Matt & Nathan interview Mitchell of Penny for a Tale about the Kickstarter for their TTRPG, CHEW: The Roleplaying Game, a game based on the Award-Winning Image comic series. We shoot the shit about retur...

No place, no matter how secure it may appear, is safe from the harsh realities of the post-apocalyptic world. The survivor's short respite is shattered as Soviet artillery begins to rain down on the College, followed by a large-scale ground assault. It is chaos as the group, separated throughout the college, must find safety and each other if they hope to survive. There are consequences in every a...

The survivors find themselves at the gates of the College as "guests" with the hope that they can trade the Russian nuke for supplies as well as get out of there alive. The College boasts plenty of food, water, real beds, and even power, things the players have not had for a long time. Will the group stay and throw their lot in with the College, putting aside their past conflicts with them, will t...

The battle on the bridge continues with Russian artillery raining in on the battlefield and nearly everyone on the team with an injury. The fight hangs in the balance between victory and defeat. Blanco continues to earn his reputation as a ghost, Pavlov lets everyone know that he has been shot, repeatedly,  and Zofie comes face to face with her past. We hope you are enjoying this story. If so, ple...

Nathan, Tyr and Chris of the AARPGs spend some quality time talking to Tony, Dave and Kurt from 23rd Century Productions about the Kickstarter/7th Edition of Battlelords of the 23rd Century. We share some of the history of the game as well as our own personal experiences playing Battlelords and our collective history of growing up with TTRPGs. We spend some time talking about the types of stories...

The battle on the bridge continues. Axel tries to stay alive surrounded by Russian soldiers while trying to wrestle with the fact that Zofie is the daughter of the very Russian commander he is fighting with. The group has been lucky so far but luck can only last so long with so many bullets flying through the air. This is violence World War III style and death stalks the bridge like...well like a...

Every show has to do it at some point and we hit that point in this episode. The group of survivors come together to save Minka and Axel from a group of Russian soldiers and the GRU officer that Zofie stabbed in the eye. Blanco does his best Slim Pickens as he rides the nukes while placing a very real bomb on it while Zofie is speeding toward the bridge. Zofie's need for revenge and Miserable Beas...

In this episode, Axel is taken prisoner by the GRU officer that Zofie stabbed in the eye and Minka demonstrates that if the war hadn't broken out she could have taken gold in the 400 meter dash. The rest of the survivors encounter a ghost from Blanco's past who now works for the College. When shots are fired, Mason leads the group on a wild ride through the woods to save them, dragging the nuke be...

Now that the group of survivors have found the missing nuclear weapon they have to decide what to do with it. But nukes are not the only thing that the group is worried about. Supplies are low, Misérables Beast is low on fuel, and Pavlov is terrified he'll ruin Minka's rabbits. Oh yeah, the group also reunites with an old "friend".
