My GM gave to me,
Four ships still flying,
Three Green Boxes,
Two Draculas,
and a Final Girl fleeing to safety.

Okay, this is a bit of a cheat. But much to Aser’s chagrin, it turns out the game he’s GMed the most is for our sister podcast: Firefly Podcast.

Seeking to duplicate the thrilling heroics and interpersonal dramas of a crew living on the edge using the Cortex Plus system, the Firefly RPG is among our favorite narrative-focused games out there.

The game we pretty much credit for the creation of TRF, Delta Green brought together the podcast’s core working group with its take on mythos horror in the modern world. As potential Delta Green agents, the original TRF cast played out our first adventure on a backwater Air Force base in Nebraska. The rest is history.

No longer just a setting for Call of Cthulhu 6E, Delta Green is currently riding a successful Kickstarter towards a release as a stand-alone RPG using the BRP system. Look for it in Spring 2016.

TRF’s Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 2, Night’s Black Agents

Okay, this inside joke between Aser and Megan requires a bit of explanation. What shouldn’t require explaining though is how quickly the TRF cast behind Beyond the Threshold came to love Night’s Black Agents for its unique blend of supernatural horror, techno-thriller action and espionage drama.

Our plucky team of black ops realists have left a trail of destruction from Bosnia to the Bay Area and have been ready to draw down on each other as quickly as the bad guys from almost the beginning. It’s a game that seems tailor-made for TRF.

Since we started recording, the TRF crew have checked out more horror movie RPGs than you could shake a severed limb at. Seriously, who would’ve thought this was a genre in and of itself? Of all the different slasher flick simulators though, none has grabbed and held onto our interest like a grudge from beyond more than Final Girl.

Sadly now out of print and only available periodically through places like Bundle of Holding, this quick-start GM-less game using a deck of cards has been a podcast standby pretty much since the beginning. Get your hands on a copy when you can
