IIIIITTTTTTTTTT'SSSSSS CHRISTMASSSSssssss. That's right, we're back with another Christmas special for TSR's defunct Marvel Superheroes game. 6 players, 4 GMs, suggestions to pull from the hat and a whole heap of utter nonsense. It doesn't get more bonkers than this.

If you want to know what it's all about – catch our facebook explanation herehttps://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02HW3FqJLfDwSW1CNiMtrkyzqRZY2FEBVodHy38F3caWDhqFqAK6xRPQnam3qP6yBpl&id=61556697187082&__cft__[0]=AZbnI4nOo9iSkDWT5lGC5OYTK-NKkFQWRy3GMsxPJ6MUKXyYlL3YJlKgGnngHWhlme04dj7bmkaqoZoFPJHt-WqMgVTgSkGv_vY794oK0tX4FNJwD0JC62IqhJArTrIyFffhdcxTYTs5_wIuPXlq_7VsuFtbTJVRDanVQBavNP9aaii8KjOrDvz0vvwn2QJQdhPtFRNLL82ZU7HQ4kOCvgHt&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

Anyway – four GMs, Graeme, Dave, Ollie and Matt will battle vainly to pull a story together for Lee and another Dave, but will we manage to make a coherent plot out of it all. I will go out on a limb and say “unlikely”.

Please feel free to check out other pages such as https://classicmarvelforever.com/cms/- the full page of classic Marvel roleplaying, and https://www.facebook.com/Classicmarvelsuperheroes/- a run down of 30 years of game sessions for TSR Marvel.

No Spoiler alert this week. You can't spoil this chaos but if you want to see Chuck Norris, Dr Doom and Paddington Bear in the same adventure, then you'd better get weaving.

TSR is no longer available to buy so classic marvel site above contains downloads of the game, but you can find copies online or at several good role playing shops, and some rubbish ones as well.

We're back in the Shire for this weeks roleplaying session of The One Ring (by Free League Publishing). Our three intrepid Halflings (Dave, Dave and Ollie) put Graeme, our GM through his paces and have a thoroughly entertaining hour of fun. It's all walking, pies, walking, ham, complaining, tea, walking, buns. You get the picture. Graeme is now on sedatives, hopefully he'll be fully fit for part 5.

Spoiler alert – you may ruin the adventure if you listen in and intend to play. It's doubtful you will recognise the adventure, but you never know.

Don't forget, you can find the game on the Free League Website and at any good role playing shops, and several rubbish ones as well. We've given The One Ring some clog recently and you can find all three previous parts at the links below.

Welcome back to Its Good to be Bard roleplaying sessions. It's Halloween again (Cue Spooky Music) so once again we are back with Session 2 of our Call of Cthulhu game as promised. A special double session podcast of Chaosiums free to play, The Lightless Beacon, which can be found at the link later in the description. Naturally, this means we have a SPOILER alert for the scenario.

WARNING – the sound quality in this Podcast is poorer than we would have liked but we couldn't just bin it as it's part of our big experiment, a special podcast as we split the game into TWO groups and play the game twice. How does each group handle the same reasonably straightforward game? Do they do exactly the same or will we end up in an entirely different situation?

Don't forget, you can find Call of Cthulhu at the Chaosium website here

The Bard Boys continue to ruin a 60 year old TV show by picking up the Doctor Who RPG. We've annoyed Malcolm Tucker, and are now facing a dreaded Judoon and their library card. A terrifying cliff hanger I'm sure you will agree.

It's episode 2 of our 3 part story and having really scraped the barrel in terms of assistants, the ancient Time Lord watches as Dave leads Lee, Matt and Ollie through the game of “The Timeless Library” *spoiler alert*.

Doctor Who RPG – How can the Bard Boys ruin a 60 year old TV show that's still going now? Easy, give them a microphone and a brew and let the nonsense take over. We had little over an hour to bash out session 1 of this game, and it's almost all preserved here for your entertainment.

The ancient Time Lord needs help from a motley collection, and this time he is really scraping the barrel. Grab some losers to save the universe, why not? Give up on his current incarnation, why not? Follow the plot, maybe, we'll see.

Doctor Who RPG can be found to purchase at Cubicle 7https://cubicle7games.com/en_GB/our-games/doctor-who-rpg?srsltid=AfmBOop3R6DAJWBu6UDdYqB0fdRsSkQOIlBd8yre5TLdZw7Z0FLvAIa7As always you can contact us at the sites below or email us onitsgoodtobebard@gmail.com and ask us questions, make comments and interact with the team.

Another day, another game session from the “Its Good to be Bard” Podcast. This time we return to the dark city of Doskval for another dab at criminal behaviour in Blades in the Dark, by Evil Hat Productions. A sleek Rolls Royce of a game given the Citroen 2CV treatment from the Bard Boys.

Its an ongoing campaign as the boys seek out a book that fell into their lap, and was subsequently stolen from them.

If you fancy giving Blades a go, you can pick up a copy from Evil Hat, or Drivethrurpg. (no affiliation)https://evilhat.com/product/blades-in-the-dark/
