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 #91: Get Her to the Church on Time

Hi, gang!

Here we are, with our final (For now!) session of Space Aces, that zealously zany RPG of sci-fi shenanigans from T-Rex Games! Sorry this one’s a little late, but I think you’ll find it was worth the wait. So because it’s past this astronaut’s hypersleep-time, I won’t make you wait any longer.

Go ahead and mash or tap that Download button…

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #90: Space Acers & Lace Bracers

Heya, folks.

Keeping the entry short but sweet, beause this was supposed to drop yesterday, and I’m finishing it in the wee small hours of the morning. You know, when the whole wide world is fast asleep? Er … never mind.

Anyway, in this issue, we Jetpackless present to you our second session of Space Aces. We had big fun with this one, and I hope you have big fun listening to it.

Enjoy!

Monkeys Took My Jetpack #89: We’re Off To Save the Princess

Hey there, rocket boosters!

In this issue, we’re proud to present an excellent little game about…

ADVENTUUUUUURES IIIIIIIIIN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Seriously, the game is called Space Aces, and Xofour was generous enough to share his talents as Gamemaster. So now, I’m going to share those talents with you.

It’s late, and sleep is calling to this noteworthy space-monkey, so I’m cutting my comments rather short.
