RPG ReanimatorsGood Player Habits - ConsultationEpisode Notes
In this episode, we consult on some good player habits and practices which we always like to see from our side of the GM screen.
Consultations are free-form topic discussions based on our own GM experiences, preferences, and gaming philosophies. We hope some of this gibbering madness can be helpful to other GMs dealing with, or considering using, these issues at their table (or at least add new and exciting chattering voices inside listener's heads).

Listen to a live recording of our nearly sold-out panel at Chaosium Con 2025 where we discuss sources of inspiration for new Call of Cthulhu scenarios in underused decades between the traditional 20s-30s settings and modern day! We cover different ideas and themes for mythos horror scenarios in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
You can also tell this is a live recording by the sounds of a door repeatedly slamming as folks moved in and out of the talk, and definitely not from a tentacled creature breaking the...2025-06-2451 minRPG ReanimatorsQueer Horror - Consultation with Hailey PiperEpisode Notes
In this episode, we meet with horror author Hailey Piper to discuss queer horror as a genre and how we might apply some of her expertise from novel writing to emphasize queer themes, characters, and narratives in horror TTRPGs.
We also discuss lots of queer media recommendations and TTRPG systems, as well as a mildly concerning amount of Shrek - possibly due to some cross-contamination between Beth of the David Behaviour podcast and Fiona of the What am I Rolling podcast (mostly Beth though...)

In this episode, the Reanimators have some cross-contamination with Beth of the David Behaviour book review podcast to branch outside of the RPG space to interview horror author Todd Keisling to see if there are any lessons we can learn from novel writing that could be applied for writing or running horror TTRPG scenarios. We cover a range of topics, including creating characters, motivations, and traits, creating monsters and original cosmic horrors, manifesting personal fears as threats or themes in stories, and some key elements of writing for different vibes, including folk, analog, and surreal...2025-05-271h 40Delta Green: Impossible Landscapes with Green Box GamingEp6 | Delta Green: Hellhole - Rescue?The team converges on Omar's position, but what awaits them behind the next corner?Check out RPG Reanimators at the links below!https://rpgreanimators.com/https://open.spotify.com/show/4suxUyIBwJDePqQAqqHfCx?si=c0117194e9b349b7https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChNLIhJcIdeQ9VoclMIXq8Q==========Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/greenboxgaming_==========Our reddit HQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/GreenBoxGaming/==========Streaming and vodsTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/greenboxgaming_/videosYouTube: https://www...2025-05-2744 minDelta Green: Impossible Landscapes with Green Box GamingEp5 | Delta Green: Hellhole - This Hole SucksThings are looking grim for Agent Omar......Check out RPG Reanimators at the links below!https://rpgreanimators.com/https://open.spotify.com/show/4suxUyIBwJDePqQAqqHfCx?si=c0117194e9b349b7https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChNLIhJcIdeQ9VoclMIXq8Q==========Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/greenboxgaming_==========Our reddit HQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/GreenBoxGaming/==========Streaming and vodsTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/greenboxgaming_/videosYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@greenboxgaming8464/videos==========2025-05-201h 02RPG ReanimatorsTeaching RPGs and Safety Tools - Consultation with FionaEpisode Notes

We dissect the creepy amusement park rides and talk about Silent Hill 2 more than a bit, while Scott shares how he runs this scenario very differently than written, as the scenario that made it to print became quite different than he'd originally envisioned it to be!
The scenario is in the Fear's Sharp Little Needles collection, which is available here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/245289/fear-s-sharp-little-needles-26-modern-day-call-of-cthulhu-scenarios

I describe this as "the most Call of Cthulhu-y-est scenario I have ever played" and for the first time, I'll recommend to anyone who has not already read or played this scenario to carefully consider if they want to spoil themselves on it by listening here, as it has a really fantastic twist that needs to come through at the table.

In this episode, we bicker about how to handle realism and verisimilitude vs. explosive pulpiness when we run RPGs, and how this can vary depending on system, scenario, and players. (Spoiler: Communication is still key)
Consultations are free-form topic discussions based on our own GM experiences, preferences, and gaming philosophies.

In this episode, we hack apart another game system, Cthork Borg, with its mad scientist creator Richard Kelly. Cthork Borg is a low-prep cosmic horror RPG set in the gloomy jazz age. As it's name suggests, it's an aberrant mutation from the Mork Borg core ruleset with some interesting changes by Richard that help it feel fresh, wriggling, and fun for GMs and players looking to try something a bit lighter than Call of Cthulhu, but still fully capable of delivering horrors at the table. We also talk about a lot of different games & systems i...2025-01-141h 44RPG ReanimatorsLights Out, Spilsbury #9485, The Mummy of Pemberley Grange, Wreck this Deck - Choice Cuts 2Episode Notes
