Every week, Rag-NERD-rok brings you a new Actual Play, with occasional episodes dedicated to discussion, diversion, and geekery in general. We play many different tabletop RPGs, from Eclipse Phase to Fiasco, from Call of Cthulhu to New World of Darkness--and we're trying new systems all the time!
In the season finale of The Hellhounds, our favorite villains take another run at tech bro billionaire Ethan Stank, targeting his companyâs commercial space flight test launch for all the world to see. As befitting someone of his station, Stank reacts to all of the targeted harassment and taunting with poise and aplomb.
Just kidding. He finds his own demonic amulet, builds himself a suit of power armor, and prepares to end The Hellhoundsâ reign of terror once and for all.
Can they defeat him, or will they find themselves between a rocket and a hard place? Listen to find out!
The Hellhounds are back, and more sinister than ever! If they want to turn their ill-gotten FuTurk into a demonic vehicle that can pass through walls and strike fear into the hearts of heroes and civilians alike, theyâll need to acquire some special components. Like demon parts, from other Hellbinders. Can they pick a fight with another hellish host and win the day? Listen to find out!
In this weekâs Eclipse Phase one-shot, Firewall scrambles a group of Sentinels on Extropia to neutralize an exsurgent outbreak at a swanky fundraising dinner. Can our team infiltrate the restaurant hosting the party before the chef infects everyone in attendance with their angry alien protein goo and save Extropia from becoming an exsurgentâs hors dâoeuvre? Listen to find out!
When three friends find themselves trapped inside the fictional world of the card game Dominion, theyâll have to play the game in order to escape. And that meansâyou guessed itâcranking out as much money as they possibly can and buying all the land they can get their grubby little hands on! Luckily, none of the people in the fictional world are real (or so they tell themselves), which means thereâs no exploitative depths to which ourâŠheroesâŠ?âŠwonât sink if it means taking home the most Victory Points. Can they escape the game, or will they have to discard their futures to the trash? Listen to find out!
Everyoneâs favorite band of baddies is back, and this week, theyâre going car shopping! Continuing their beef with tech billionaire Ethan Stank, the gang sets their sights on the CyberTurk, a prototype electric vehicle about to be released by Stankâs Edison Car Company. Can they steal a one-of-a-kind getaway car, or will their hopes go up in flames like a lithium ion battery fire? Listen to find out!
The Hellhounds, Apex Cityâs favorite band of nefarious neâer-do-wells, are at it again! This week, they take on their most obnoxious adversary to date: tech bros! When âgeniusâ billionaire Ethan Stank announces that he will be unveiling the worldâs first general artificial intelligence, the gang decides to crash the release and âliberateâ the newly-minted mind. Will their caper make tech industry headlines, or are they doomed to be yesterdayâs news? Listen to find out!

The Poppleton Mall is a friendly place, where each welcoming storefront promises commerce and community. One Family-owned business in particular offers its customers the opportunity to become moreâif theyâre cheerful, hard-working, and willing to invest in themselves. Becoming a member of The Family is the first step to owning your own happy storefront where you, too, can spread the joy of premium dietary supplements. Itâs as easy as purchasing your own starter supply, signing up for a series of Family leadership seminars, and sticking to your prescribed regimen of brain-enhancing nootropics. As the staff are medically conditioned to say, âWelcome to our home!â Welcome to Poppleton Mall!
Itâs time for our newly-minted villains to launch themselves into the world of Eeeeeeeeevil!

This week, we kick off the first arc of a new Better Angels campaign! Years after the diabolical misadventures of the Fear Force Five, Apex City remains a battleground between sinister supervillains and angelic heroes. On an ordinary day at Radish Top Memorial Hospital, when an ex-con, a police detective, an orthodontist and a would-be influencer find themselves confronted with a rampaging terror from the pit, theyâll need to become Hellbinders to survive. Will they find themselves treading the same road of good intentions as their villainous predecessors? Listen to find out!
This last Spooktober game is a little bit late because it wasnât actually recorded as oneâshhh! People got sick and life got in the way, and we didnât actually get to play a fourth spoopy one-shot. So please enjoy this re-purposed game of Heart that Ryan, Erik and Alex played a few months ago, and try to think Halloween-y thoughts while listening.
When a decadent high-elf noble sends an emissary to the undercity to procure a particular preferred pastry, itâll be up to a Deadwalker and a Deep Apiarist to acquire the confection in question.
