The Troubleshooters is an RPG by Helmgast made to mimic the style and aesthetic of Franco-Belgian comics of the 60's, like Adventures of Tintin! We decided we'd resisted the Cat's natural affinity for Crime long enough this season, and finally made a sneak thief, a phantom, a Cat Burglar for this episode!

Outgunned is a game by Two Little Mice, designed to help you play out your own cinematic action films at the table. As are most of the other games we've done recently. You know, because it's Action Fiction Autumn? Anyway, this cat is one who was never prepared for the role of action hero, but just so happened to have the right skills to be a halfway decent sidekick!

Hiyah! For this installment of Action Fiction Autumn, we looked at a little game called Straight to VHS by Lost Cat Games. We made Cat Cop. She's exactly what she sounds like. She's a cat. She's a cop. She's Cat Cop.

Action 12 Cinema by The RPG Academy is a little different from the kind of game we'd normally do on this show, but it's Action Fiction Autumn, and it just called to me! Also I think you'll forgive us when you hear all about Australian Mist, the hit new action flick from up and coming Australian director [insert audience member name here], who brings us a story about a cat who was trained to kill from birth, and is now beginning to grapple with what that means...

Ironsworn by Shawn Tomkin is an RPG about perilous quests and difficult vows, where every bit of progress is marked by the costs it took to reach it. Even knowing the struggles, the cat we made this episode MUST see her husband's ashes spread atop Mt. Mitten - she swore a vow to see it done in her lifetime, after all!

Tournament Arc is a GM-less RPG by Biscuit Fund Games about acting out your own sports anime! Or really, whatever tournament you can imagine. It could realistically be used to play out the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, Blue Lock, or (ugh) the Chunin Exams in Naruto! We used it to make a cat that plays too much Pokemon Unite! (or probably something legally distinct if we're looking for licensing deals wink wink)

Urban Shadows is a game published by Magpie Games about navigating the complicated politics of magical secret societies in Urban Fiction stories. We have introduced a group of redneck truckers who also happen to hunt wizards. They trained a cat to kill The Immortal Merlin. Somehow, this worked.

Interstitial is a game by Riley Hopkins that started as an attempt at a Kingdom Hearts TTRPG but has since evolved into the premiere crossover fanfic RPG! We decided to make Snowbell from Stuart Little with the help of Riley Hopkins on this episode! Though we may have had some issues with staying on track...

On the desert planet of Arrakis... ok I don't actually know what goes on there. I just know there's hallucinogenic jet fuel, some kid whose mom thinks he's the Chosen One, and also now, thanks to us, a Cat from a yet-to-be-determined house who does Scouting work!

Happy April 2nd! You know this episode isn't a prank because it came out today! Anyway, did you know Renegade Games, makers of Kids on Bikes and current publisher of the World of Darkness RPG line, also owns a series of licensed RPGs on their Essence 20 Roleplaying system? Did you know GI Joe was one of those RPGs? Well we gave a cat a Jetpack and put it in that game. Yes, we did it in that order. You're welcome.

After all this time, we've finally made it to every podcast's most important milestone - the 69th episode! Anyway, have you heard of Flabbergasted? It's an RPG from The Wanderer's Tome meant to replicate the comedic storytelling style of a Jeeves and Wooster story! Also, one of the game's playtesters, who goes by Sean, joined us to help us make a cat in it!
