ESL RPG
Here we test Tabletop RPGs as English practice tools, for listeners, speakers, and some fun. Join us to listen and learn, or to laugh and enjoy! The story starts from Episode 3, Character introductions from Episode 12.

Our heroes clear out the rest of the Redbrand hideout, and take what they can from the area before interrogating those left alive. Those left alive include a crippled wizard, a Goblin named Droop, and...
Real talk, traumatic brain injury is a very serious medical condition, and not a great way to get people to "just sleep" until you need to wake them up. Poor Johnny, apart from the concussion, well... he will never be the same again.
Oh, and his knee is really messed up too.

Oh, and an epic battle with a rat!

Tune in later for when people continue their shopping!
Oh, and no direct cursing, but some mildly dirty implications. I promise we actually cut out the worst of it.

Our players talk about what they like and don't like with this game!
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Here we discuss how to deal with players leaving the game, what to do if you don't enjoy the game, things to do to make the game better, not-exactly-homework-but-things-you-do-not-while-playing, and play-life balance.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Here we learn that, among other things, the roleplaying part of this board game was made by Juan, and not a part of the game. We also discuss other ways to adapt it to the classroom.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Our players take the time to review this playthrough with the game. Suggestions are made for how to maybe improve on it.
We do plan on in the future releasing this one-page one-shot so you can play yourself in the future! But we don't quite have a publishing date planned, yet....
Also, we have a Patreon at:
We were tired, we had no plan, we had no script, and we didn't actually start recording until after we had started talking, so you get to hear how rambling we become, jumping from topic to topic with little sense of direction.
Here, we cover a little of why it is sometimes difficult to use games, the value of vocabulary used in games (not always in the words themselves), how much freedom players should have, and if it is better to have games be more realistic and classroom task focused, or less realistic and more open for student enjoyment.
Kind of, but it goes without saying, this was a late night discussion.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
This episode is particularly for teachers and students, an episode looking at what was most interesting or fun, what was easier to pick up and learn, and recommendations for students who want to try the games, and teachers who want to run them.
Also, there will be some discussion about what to do in future episodes, and some news at the end of this episode.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Sorry for the late upload, let's jump right in.
Our group of (mostly) bears goes to hit a truck convoy, meets up with a character who will return again, and find the honey.
After that, it's a little fuzzy. And bloody. Accidental mass murder, ankle-deep people juice, and truck drivers singing Britney Spears are all involved. As are conversations between bears and humans.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
This time we try a new game, Honey Heist, by Grant Howitt. In this episode, we introduce the rules, create characters, and plan the first heist.
And yes, someone really says that.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, we enter the final months of Germanium and Spring. Our players finish many quests, mention many more innuendoes, and we enter into a dance-off with some danger, and a very horrific situation.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, we enter the months of Quadranary and Hogust. Our dudes act like righteous dudes, and some uncool dudes. And the unlikeliest of people save the day. Also, more dirty jokes and innuendos!
Sorry about the length on this episode.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, Stick learns why Cal-Cass and Piergeron like clerics so much.
Yes, that seriously happens, and yes, the months so far really are Unnamed, Binary, Tertiary, and June. To be fair, it makes just as much sense with normal English months.
Also, while this episode is completely safe for work, it does include a lot of innuendo.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
On this episode, our players start the game and quickly learn the rules. Also, some rules get troubleshooting.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, we start something different. We take a regular board game set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe, and we add role play to it. This board game can honestly be played like Monopoly, with very little talking, which is why our Game Master, Juan, will add his try at a second win condition, to promote more talking and role play.
So let's all learn who these people are, and how they play this game!
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, our players decide that more detectives are the best way to go. Unfortunately, it doesn't work exactly like they expect.
Also, self-driving cars, and tracking down the killer. And crazy wizards!
Happy New Years, everybody!
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Our heroes start investigating the murder, and the crazy rolls come fast. Also, they decide they need to involve a lot of magical research and magical detectives.
Here are some choice quotes from the episode with no context.
"I'm a construction worker, I'm not dangerous."
"My magic isn't working too well today, I've only had two beers."
"So yeah, one of those poor buggers just went crazy."
"Bibbity Bobbity Boo, roll 1d6."

Here, the Djinn attacks, people fight and frantically look for a way out. Will they escape? Will they solve the mystery? And will they still be sane when it is all over?

SPOILERS!!! Some Spoilers for the Call of Cthlulhu Demo Scenario, "What's in the Cellar?"!
As our players go underground, the mystery deepens. They see some things that are there that should not be, some things that should be there but aren't, and other things that defy explanation. With time running out, everyone gets a little frantic, and their sanity is tested.

WARNING!!! Minor Spoilers for the Call of Cthulhu scenario, "What's in the Cellar"
Our players are introduced to this case, a mysterious murder, with one player's cousin as the main suspect! They must find information and evidence for what really happened, hopefully to clear the charges, or at least change a death sentence to life in prison.
Getting into the spirit of things, they spend this game looking at everything they can on the main floor of the cabin. Soon, however, they will enter the cellar where the murder took place.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Welcome. Our players today try a horror mystery, playing a Demo from Call of Cthulhu, What's in the Cellar. Find this and other free scenarios at the Chaosium website.

In this episode, our group goes to a bar. There, they find a bard with an offer, and Arry drinks, because he needs a drink. Then, everyone goes to explore a canyon. There, they find a boy and help him find his dog, only it's not just a dog, and not really a boy. After that confusing situation, they walk into another confusing situation of a man with many skeletons. It did not go well.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Our players talk with a woman about medicine for making a kobold better, wrap up lizards like babies, ask too many questions about houses under water, probably cheat at riddles, learn about bad things in the worst way possible, create a sad weapon of mass destruction, question the morality of gods, and have a crying bro hug.
A lot of things happen in this one side quest, ok?

Also, we have a Patreon at:

Which of course means they fight.

In this episode, there is a problem with a bill, everyone thinks about lunch, flowers are given, someone is looking for mercenaries, and everyone has a confusing and suspicious conversation.
Next time, another fight! Because of course fighting.
Also, we have a Patreon at:

Also, we have a Patreon at:
After a long break, we are back with a new game series! Don't worry, The Teacher's Campaign and Heroes of New Cydonia will continue, as will short one-shots as they happen.
In this episode, Jeffrey introduces his idea for a campaign based off a video game from the 90s and a version of Dungeons and Dragons from the 80s, updated to the modern day with 5th edition, and rule and story updates to hopefully make it work in a tabletop setting.
We leave the happy-go-lucky lands of the Teacher's Campaign, and Vince's creation inspired by Discworld, and adventure into the Forgotten Realms, a world with more in common with video games of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, and inspired by the Lord of the Rings. Our players choose who will be the main character, and who will be support, and one character is introduced, Arry. No, that is not the voice that will be used for him for the game, but yes, he will talk like that... probably for the whole campaign. He will be a good pally-din.
As far as explanations for the long absence, yes, part of it was planned around a gap in recordings. The recordings for The Teacher's Campaign will resume, but for several weeks, there will be a drop in quality due to equipment failures during two of the games. We are exploring ways to make it work better in the future.
But the planned gap was only a couple of weeks, so why has it been a month? Life. Our editor getting sick, then exam season, then tax season... life. C'est la vie. We will try and plan around such foreseeable difficulties in the future. Please bear with us, and thank you for your patience.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Here our heroes try to save the day, do some accidental cooking, and a certain god makes a return.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, our heroes encounter a lot of craziness, Charon questions her sanity, and a smart old woman is smart.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
This time, our heroes enter the party, and encounter a badly done French accent, a badly done Russian accent, a horrible Scottish accent, and an oddly not so bad old Southern Matron accent.
Also, they mingle in the party, try to persuade the old woman into giving up the book, and make a decision with disastrous results!
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, our heroes decide to train so they can get ready to get the magical thing, and decide to find out more about this magical thing and where it is. They find out about where it is, who protects it, they find a name for it, and a way in to maybe get it. And all it took was many days of work.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
This time, our heroes swap some alcohol for some information, and find a connection to their pasts in their future quest. And to get ready for that quest and a little more used to their powers, they decide to do some training. There are mixed results, some cute, some funny, some just weird.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
We are back to our Heroes of New Cydonia campaign! First, Jerry must find the gang, but no one is at the hideout! It seems Nasher and Frankie went to another bank, and Mika and Omar went looking for Shoe. After everyone meeting at the corner of many coffee shops, they go to Jimsburg to talk to Dale about finding Shoe.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Here are the bloopers from the last several episodes. We will likely return to ICONS, but for now will return to the original Dungeons and Dragons campaign
Also, we have a Patreon at:
On this week's episode, our heroes go clothes shopping, electronics shopping, and home and garden shopping.
Ok, I know that doesn't sound exciting, but I promise it is. There will be exciting things.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, our heroes escape into the wilderness, meet a mysterious stranger, find an even more mysterious and stranger business card, go back into Haven, and one of our heroes are dragged away.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Happy New Year!
On this week's episode, the return of the Magical Toilet, a leader named Jerry, cleanup at the bank, the police arrive, Frankie is Frankie, Omar is Omar, and people get out.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
On this week's episode, our heroes are out of the toilet, a questionable amount of force is applied, the group has some in-fighting, the police are on the way, and someone drools in a bullet-wound.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, the game starts off! Four of the group meet in a bank, then meet a god (Not Kubrick) in the toilet, and get superpowers. But what will they do with those superpowers? That's gonna be interesting. By the way, I apologize for Not Kubrick and Shew (Omar's brother) sounding so similar. That was confusing for some of our other players too. I will probably try a different voice in the future if Shew returns, but for this week and next week, just remember, no more Not Kubrick outside of the toilet (and great advice for DMs, have extra voices ready for random characters all the time. Just in case. You never know when a new character will show up. I know you are basically god in these games, but you still don't always know.)
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, the players roll stats for their characters, the dice-gods summon a game breaker, the world is introduced in more detail, questions are asked, and options are laid for how the campaign might progress. Next week, our characters will choose their powers, and form their teams.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
So those things that should not be? Dinosaurs. They were dinosaurs. One gets mocked to death.
Later, an interesting encounter with some people with a very stony demeanor.

Our characters continue their trip with some mushroom soup.
Things get normal for our players, which is not normal for our characters.
Heads up, next will be a bit of a jump in time! Our backlog will still be a major thing we will work on, but following this recording, we will get into a Quarantine Special, where we test all kinds of tools and games for people learning or practicing from in your home. So for all of you stuck not going anywhere, stick with us.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
Here is our first episode on the new recording software!
Our heroes return going right into a fight. They fight the hobgoblin, and our players quickly forget why they were fighting.
So, they decide to do a timejump the next time we play this game, and instead go on a non sequitur adventure. Involving mushrooms.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
In this episode, an ill-advised fight goes forward, Bob joins in, a book gets wet, then dry again, popcorn is eaten, things are shared out, and a direction is set for where our heroes go.
And our heroes make too many "That's what she said" jokes, and Nobody gets confused.

Alright. Some introductions. Nobody, Somebody, Father Jack, Kit, and Kyoko are gods, and characters from a previous campaign set more than 500 years before. Kit is a druid dragon puppy god of all things chaotic in nature, Kyoko is a winged-elf god of hunters and people whose common sense goes largely ignored, Father Jack absolutely is a mix of Aries, Dionysus, and Catholicism (ok, not really Catholicism, but definitely extra alcoholism), Nobody is an ex-gnome tinkering trickster god of assassins, and Somebody is the voice of conscience and reason inside his head made god incarnate. It's a lot of weird stuff.
Also part of that canon? Father Jack has died (a few times) already from old age, and was sent back to the material plane for causing too much havoc in the afterlife. As for Nobody, he could only be reincarnated after dying of old age... and the dice gods spoke, giving both him and Somebody new bodies, of a Wood Elf, and an elvish Tiefling.
Ok, introductions out of the way, our players negotiate for payment for the book, find out something unsettling, and win minor victories over these gods. Oh, and Dreg starts a fight again. With Nessie.
Look forward to the next one!

As the fight finishes up, the players loot, and do... other stuff. Because Bob needs information, Shagrat needs to relax, and bodies need to... disappear...
WARNING! This recording features some mild descriptions of torture and drug use.

This episode is a very long combat, because it is the Frog-Licking Paladins plus The Four. Who are really 5 people. And our group are not paladins, and don't lick frogs. Oh, don't lick frogs, kids.
Anyway, some of that will be explained during combat, which is very confusing and involves lots of flying body parts.
Also, we have a Patreon at:
The Frog-Licking Paladins make trees bend, use the not at all cliched technique of pretending to be prisoners, give some people some coffee, and walk through water. Well, not all of them.
Next time, it's back to the adventures of Meg Ryan's merry band.

Our heroes are finally ready to go. They head to Muskegon, a port town a long way away. But when they get there, they face a city occupied by enemies! How will they deliver this package to the boat? Why is Bob a tree? Can tigers solve problems?

Welcome back to the adventures of the Frog-Licking Paladins!
After collecting the materials for the secret box to hide the magical energy coming from the evil magic book, and freeing the town named That Town, our adventurers prepare to take the book away so it can be destroyed.
But that means they need to travel a long, long, long way away. 1 week each way. So away for at least 2 weeks. If there are no delays....
It sounds like everyone needs to prepare for a long trip, and Bob and Korgan need their secret businesses ready to run.
Hooray, exciting preparation!

In this episode, we return to the Heroes of New Cydonia campaign! Our heroes left off having firebombed an orphanage by not listening to directions, and start off by un-firebombing said orphanage. Along the way, they will run into a character that may end up recurring in other games. Because we grew to like him very much.
This will become a little bit of a problem with some DMPCs for us.
