Monkeys Took My Jetpack #99: Half-Baked, Part 2

Hi, gang!

Here we are, with the conclusion of our Stranger Stuff Christmas in July adventure!

Hope you’re having a great Christmas in July, should you choose to celebrate it—and if you don’t, thank you so much for indulging MTMJ’s acknowledgment of what can probably best be described as a quasi-holiday. And the “quasi” aspect is why I haven’t gone all-out with Christmas carols, or some of the more … shall wa say, inspired … choices I like to work into Christmas-themed issues, such as MTMJ#5.

The Game: Stranger Stuff, from Fat Goblin Games.

The System: TinyD6, from Gallant Knight Games.
The Supplement: Holiday Wish Book
The Download Link: Here.

Merry Christmas.

And enjoy!

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #98: Half-Baked

merry christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In july.

I’d completely spaced on Christmas in July till I was getting ready to post last week’s issue. Luckily, I had a Christmas adventure from last December that was only sorta Christmas-themed, which makes it perfect for the weirdly-timed Christmas-in-July.

In this issue, to coincide with Christmas in July, along with a certain Netflix series whose fourth season has just wrapped, we’re playing Stranger Stuff, using the TinyD6 system, from Fat Goblin Games. I took this adventure from the Holiday Wish Book supplement. I highly encourage you to check these out. The TinyD6 system is the epitome of rules-lite, and still incredibly functional. We will definitely be returning to TinyD6 in general, and Stranger Stuff in particular.

Stop reading and start listening. The fun and holiday cheer are about to begin!

Enjoy!

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #97: Tumbleweed

Howdy, pards!

I’m runnin’ plumb outa western slang to throw around like tumbleweeds in a tornado, so I’ll just say that in this here issue, we’re fixing’ to try out Everywhen, as powered by Barbarians of Lemuria, and enhanced with the Blood Sundown setting. Whew! That there’s a fistful!

By the by, there was, in fact, one thing I forgot to mention in my closing remarks. We at MTMJ are curious how you’re liking the outtakes we’ve been placing at the end of each podcast. Are you enjoying them as outtakes, or do you prefer them just left in the game section? I’m fine either way; on one hand, leaving them as part of the game session means less work for me as editor. On the other hand, it’s also fun to make the outtakes section for each issue. In other words, don’t worry about bruising any egos. I just want know where you stand.

Send feedback to Feedback@MTMJetpack.com, or leave a comment on our facebook page.

As for the Discord link, we’ll have that for ya lickety-split. Just not right now.

With that, go forth and enjoy the show!

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #96: Hittin’ the Dusty Trail

Well, here’s yet another example of better late than never. I am putting it out now rather than just waiting till next Monday beause, as I discuss in my closing remarks, I’ll be on vacation for a week or so, and in that time there’ll be no new MTMJ.

In this issue, we’re takin’ Wild West Cinema from Spectrum Games for a spin. Turns out, we really cottoned to it. So much so that I’m a mite perplexed as t’why we never let it out for a full gallop. But it could still happen, dif’rent group notwithstandin’.

We’d love to hear from you. Head on over to ourfriendly Facebook page and leave us a comment or two. We promise, we won’t bite, an’ our trigger fingers ain’t that itchy.

‘Nuff jabbering’. Time to stop finger-jawing’, and let you git to listenin’.

Enjoy!

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #95: Fixin’ to Hit the Dusty Trail

Howdy, Partners!

In keeping’ with our Old West theme we started last issue, we’re jumping’ the time-stream all the way back to March 18, 2013, where we had a lotta palaver, and somewhere in all that managed to dredge up a few characters for Wild West Cinema, an extremely under-valued title from Spectrum Games. So set back, throw s’more wood on that campfire (Almost makes me wish I’d put that sound effect in—but naw, that’s what imagination is for.), and enjoy some time with old friends, some talk of games, gaming, Western movies, and character creation.

Links of Note:
Wild West Cinema
Capes, Cowls & Villains Foul
Spectrum Games
Adventures on Dungeon Planet
Risus: The Anything RPG
D6 System (Well, D6 Adventure, but it’s a good starting point. No longer free, but still very economically priced.)
Mini Six
PDQ (Prose Descriptive Qualities)
Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies
Fate Core
Fate Accelerated
Young Centurions
Icons (We complain about Icons in this issue, but we like the Assembled Edition, which came later.)
All Stars
Feng Shui
Retrocausality
Wushu

Y’all can look up movies in IMDB on yer own, Hoss.

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #94: Demon Dog

Howdy, pards!

Saddle up, grab yer ol’ .44, and let’s hit the trail! This time ‘round, we’re fixing’ to play an impromptu session of Weird Wild Wuxia West, an extremely rules-lite game what tickled my fancy right proper! We hope y’all enjoy this Jetpack Flashback, originally recorded back on February 8, 2019.

Enjoy, folks!

No Monkeys Took My Jetpack This Week

Don’t worry, we’re not going on hiatus gain or anything like that; in fact, I want to make it so clear that we’re not doing so that I decided to post this announcement. I went out of town this week for a very routine medical thing I have to do about every six months or so, and didn’t get nearly enough work done on the episode which is to be issue #94. So rather than just put it up when it’s finished, I’ll stick this shrimp on the barbie for next Monday, the 23rd. Once I start trying to add SFX and such, this will become a biweekly podcast anyway. But I’ll give you a heads-up when that’s to become the new reality.

In the meantime, have a great week, and if you’re so inclined, go see “Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.” I know reviews have been mixed, but speaking for myself and the 14-year-old and his mom who accompanied me, we had a terrific time. Its PG-13 rating is well-earned, however, so I don’t necessarily recommend taking the wee ones before checking it out for yourself first.

Have a great week, and we’ll catch up to you on the trail in seven.

Be seeing’ you, partners.

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #93: Better Dead Than Red!

Hey there, True Believers!

(No trademark infringement intended—I just miss the guy, that’s all.)

We have a beer-and-pretzels bonanza of superheroic shenanigans in store for you in this issue of MTMJ–shape of… Hero Force! Form of… the 1PG system from Deep7!

‘Nuff said.

(Gosh, I miss you, Stan Lee.)

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #92: Super-Agers

Hey, kats and kiddies!

Not a whole lot to say here that I don’t cover in my opening or closing remarks. So let’s just get to the particulars and let you get to the super-goodness.

The one-shot is Super-Agers, the publisher is Atomic Ninja Studios, and the game system is Savage Worlds.

And this is the download link.

Enjoy.
