Synopsis:
For the nerds of Brooklyn, but also the storytellers, Game Play Radio invites local friend groups, chronic DnD-ers, and creative professionals to come and play characters of their own creation and explore a wide variety of worlds as described by the “Game Master” and radio host, Eryn. Professional writers can battle each other using haikus. Musicians can try to beat a Star Destroyer as if they’re in a Star Wars film. Local newbies can become bears and try to steal honey from a human food festival. The possibilities – and the laughs – are endless.

A group of friends push the limits of...well, friendship. Here on D&D: Maury edition. Or perhaps it's just some old-fashioned D&D madness. Listen and decide in this thrilling finale where a group of adventurers try to escape from a mad sculptor. We played The Carver's Cave, created with D&D 5th edition RPG base made by Wizards of the Coast. Story made my Winghorn Press.

The NYDA New York Chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance is back for more wizardly fun with trains, pixies, minotaurs, and fellow student drama. They also talk a bit more about their upcoming events and ways you can get connected. This game is adapted from D&D 5th edition rules - they all play the wizard class, and are fighting using D&D stats.
A "Barry Blotter" RPG with the NYDA
Sat, 19 Oct 2019 14:04:32 GMT
Two members of the Harry Potter Alliance in NYC, named the New York Dumbledore's Army, play as wizards in their very own magical RPG and talk a bit about the awesome work that they do. There are hijinks, spells, and awful attempts to avoid being sued by the Harry Potter trademark owners. The game is using D&D 5th edition rules and character creation - they both play wizard classes. The setting is made up by the incredibly clever and self-serving host.
Games for the Visually Impaired: A Blind Legend
Sat, 19 Oct 2019 13:35:52 GMT
Eryn plays a valiant blind knight who, with the help of his daughter, goes on a journey to rescue his wife from the clutches of an evil king. It's all in a video game designed for the visually impaired. It's a free phone app that uses stereo sound and touch screen movements to direct the action. Otherwise, it's all audio! So cool!

Fellow RFB host Lisa Levy comes on air to play a clever but gruesome gladiator in a world of sandy seas. It gets violent, y'all. Lisa Levy is the host of Dr. Lisa Gives a Shit on Radio Free Brooklyn, Thursdays from 2-3pm. If you check out her show page, you just might find an episode with my name on it. The Golden Sea is a free (yay, free!) one-page RPG created by Grant Howitt. It's beautiful and easy to play and honestly super fascinating. I'd play it again in a second.
Intermission: To the End of Time Part 1
Sat, 28 Sep 2019 18:07:44 GMT
An old, never-before-aired on GPR episode of a game of Level 20 D&D. Witness the power. While Eryn is off air for a week, she played an old game with the highest level a person can be in a 5th edition game of D&D - level 20. It gets epic, y'all.

The Carver's Cave is a one-shot D&D 5th edition game created by Winghorn Press using rules from Wizard of the Coast. Find it to play yourself at dmsguild.com. GO PLAY RPGs!

A group of brand new D&D players begin an adventure to discover why people are disappearing in the hills. But mainly in this episode, they fight some Dire Bear Cubs and learn the ropes for battle. This one-shot story, The Carver's Cave, was created by Richard Jansen-Parkes for Winghorn Press. You can find this yourself on Winghorn's website or by going to dmsguild.com. Thanks to Wizards of the Coast once again for letting the D&D magic happen.

A one-session game to battle drunk bears in the subways of NYC. That's really all you need to know before you listen. [Also yes, I realize now I said "Tuesday afternoon entertainment" I was wrong. I was trying to say 2:00 and didn't. It happens to everyone.] Drunken Bear Fighter is an extremely simple RPG created by one of my favorite game creators, Grant Howitt. You can find it to play for yourself at rowanrookanddecard.com - but no, you don't have to be as loose with the rules as we are.

A horrifically haunted house might just be more than our adventurers can handle. This final wrap-up episode of Death House has drama, and yes, a touch of death. We tie everything together and discuss how it went down a bit too. Death House is a one-shot primer game for the Curse of Strahd module, created by Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. Thanks for sticking around folks!
Sat, 10 Aug 2019 17:11:39 GMT
In the third installment of this D&D fifth edition one shot, character Rynna discovers herself in a CREEPY place and separated from Enais. Meanwhile Enais is dying and needs Rynna's help. The house itself looks on... Death House is a one shot introduction to Curse of Strahd, a longer story/campaign created by the Wizards of the Coast.
Sat, 03 Aug 2019 12:37:45 GMT
In this second session, Mike's character Enais is on her own, searching for her captured friend. What she finds instead is unexpectedly furry, and bloody. Death House is a module created by Wizards of the Coast as a precursor to a larger campaign called The Curse of Strahd, which I have never played but have heard cool things about. Or well...creepy things.
Sun, 21 Jul 2019 13:46:33 GMT
Lauren and Mike play two haunted house adventurers who may have bitten off more than they can chew in a Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition game of Death House. Death House is a free online introductory D&D game created to get players interested in The Curse of Strahd, a classic horror module from Wizards of the Coast. We'll try to keep it creepy for ya.
An Intro to D&D: Lost Mines of Phandelver Finale
Sat, 13 Jul 2019 15:50:31 GMT
Crossfit bros and D&D newbs finish their first ever campaign, and the highs and lows along with it. Lost Mines of Phandelver is a D&D 5th edition game created and distributed by the Wizards of the Coast. This is only the first portion of the adventure, but it is the perfect intro for new players, in my opinion and many others. Check it out with your friends! (Not a sponsor, again, I just love D&D.)
Intermission: Cards Against Humanity
Sun, 30 Jun 2019 21:00:00 GMT
Vijay R. Nathan, host of The Truth to Power Show on Radio Free Brooklyn, steps in while Eryn's away to play Cards Against Humanity with some friends. Cards Against Humanity is a card game that is essentially Apples to Apples for terrible people. The organization that makes them also likes to use their money to fuck around with politics, like that time they bought a plot of land along the border where our current president wants to build a wall.
An Intro to D&D: Lost Mines of Phandelver Part 3
Sat, 29 Jun 2019 13:34:05 GMT
Our level one D&D players diver further into the mines and end up making some suspect deals with some goblins. And it some how also becomes a parable for political uprisings. The group is playing the first portion of the Lost Mines of Phandelver, a classic D&D module created by the Wizards of the Coast, which supplies D&Ders with all 5th edition materials (not a sponsor, just a fan).

In this dramatic conclusion to our play through of One Last Job, my friends (your cowboys) sneak in, guns at the ready, to rescue Cutie Carl and get their just desserts. A freak storm passed through at the time and honestly made everything more exciting. Thanks for listening to the first complete story on Game Play Radio. One Last Job is a game that was created by Grant Howitt and can be purchased for cheap at Rowan, Rook and Decard (rowanrookanddecard.com). We played a fast and loose version of the game, but I believe that's kind of the point. Check it out and play it yourself. They have many more settings than just the wild west! [Not a sponsor. I just really like this game.]
An Intro to D&D: Lost Mines of Phandelver Part 2
Sat, 08 Jun 2019 15:41:29 GMT
A group of intrepid adventurers continue their investigation of a series of caves outside Phandelin in search of their employer. They also meet a new - and helpful - friend. The Lost Mines of Phandelver is a classic D&D adventure created and sold by the Wizards of the Coast. We are playing only the first segment of a larger story, but it's still an excellent introduction to the world of D&D!
Sat, 01 Jun 2019 18:12:36 GMT
Guests Kelly and Katrina are back to play the third session One Last Job, and it's turning out to be a doozy. They'll have to pull out all the stops - the ones stored in Jesse Stone's boob storage, that is. One Last Job is a game created by Grant Howitt and Christ Taylor at Rowan, Rook, and Decard.

Josh Levine and his Crossfit friends "Other" Josh and Aviva have never played D&D before. Follow and learn along with this new crew, and realize that you don't have to be an expert to have an awesome time! Consider this a basic tutorial for how D&D is played. The game we are playing is the first segment off of the campaign Lost Mines of Phandelver, written by Wizards of the Coast, the biggest creator and supplier of things Dungeons and Dragons.

This is the second "chapter" where me and my (astoundingly awesome and patient) guests play One Last Job, created by Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor at Rowan, Rook, and Decard. Our version is highly experimental and loose with the rules, but it's the story that counts, right?
Sat, 11 May 2019 15:40:48 GMT
The episode that started it all. Two friends play retired criminal cowboys in a game that none of us know how to play. This is the first "chapter" of us playing a game called One Last Job, created by Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor at Rowan, Rook, and Decard. Well...a version of it anyway. We will continue posting chapters of our gameplay of One Last Job until the story is done-one way or another.
