About this listen

We hope you're not here to learn character creation in new roleplaying systems, because here, we're all about breaking rules to adapt the character creator to let us play as a basic, run-of-the-mill cat. We accept no cop-outs, we don't acknowledge Homebrew materials, and we... very rarely come close to a pure and simple feline, but we do have fun along the way! Join us every other Wednesday to see what RPG we try to learn next!

  • 85 - Making an International Jewel Thief From Canada in The Troubleshooters
    Oct 29 2025

    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!

  • 84 - Making a Hapless Cat Who Wandered Into The Action in Outgunned Feat. Craig Shipman
    Oct 15 2025

    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!

  • 83 - Making Cat Cop, The Cop That's Just A Cat, in Straight To VHS
    Oct 1 2025

    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.
