System Hoppers Podcast

We’re an Actual Play series that always mix up what we play. Reminder you can check out any of our other socials and listen to the show! We really appreciate any and all support 💕 linktr.ee/SystemHoppers

I feel like I need to play Blades in the Dark because there’s a certain amount of TTRPG-cred I think I don’t have when I say I’ve never played a Blades game (although I have played Girl By Moonlight which is a FTID system!)

The scheduling demons deploy their twice yearly bullshit to throw off your gaming plans. Don't let them win! Clocks went back last night in European timezones. This makes time differences wobbly for a while. Always try to use unicodes (like hammer.time or Discords @time function) to avoid mix ups!

My first five TTRPGs in the order I played them: (off the top of my head) 1. D&D 3.5e 2. Savage Worlds 3. Pathfinder 1e 4. D&D 5e 5 Call of Cthulhu (7e!)

Ten Candles is one of my favourite TTRPGs so please do check this out! AND ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE! ❤️

I showed a friend a clip from the Chainsaw Man movie and his response was “I can see why you like this” (he did like it as well to clarify) but I can’t help but feel slightly read by it nevertheless!

Going through genres we’ve covered we’ve done Fantasy, Horror, Rom Com, Comedy, Sports (if wrestling counts?) Is there anything we should try that we haven’t? Maybe a Crime/Heist game, or something Sci-fi based? 🤔🤔🤔

Backed! I love the concept of this and look forward to getting to give it a try! 👀

Happy birthday to….us? I noticed it’s actually System Hoppers’ third anniversary today! We put out our first episode 3 years ago today! Thank you to everyone who has listened to the show and supported us!

It's #SelfPromoSaturday! We've found amazing supporters on Bluesky - show us your creative projects and share others' work to spread to love ❤️🎲

This definitely looks like something to keep an eye on 👀

Per my previous post, I don’t think it’s too hot a take to clarify but if I see you’re a cool AP show on social media, and then see AI thumbnails or generated art. I won’t listen or watch your show and you’ve already lost me (written after I saw exactly this!)

Saw a TikTok where someone in the TTRPG space was saying that it’s okay to use AI because it’s “here to stay” and I replied trying to say that just because you can doesn’t mean you should use AI tools - and that my tables certainly wouldn’t approve of that in lieu of….actual imagination?

Happy #SelfPromoSaturday ! Its been way too long since I've rolled dice...I'm begging y'all to share some #ttrpg things with me 🥺 Bonus points for tagging friends along with awesome stuff! We'll start by tagging @realmofrolls.bsky.social @goblinsnotebook.bsky.social and @apintofcthulhu.bsky.social

I make silly video to process the grief 😂

I’ve been binging a load of other Actual Play podcasts these past few days. I find it can really help motivate me to hear what others are doing in the space, especially when they’re playing niche games that I’ve thought about running but been unsure what it’d look like to remind me it can be done!

So, I finally did the thing I released a small "beer and pretzels" RPG that dares to ask the question: "What if the military industrial complex got their hands on time travel?" It's free/PWYW on itch! Would be real cash-money if you checked it out! ex-sir-games.itch.io/warriors-acr...

Playing The One Ring and I’ve just had one of the worst rolls I’ve had in recent history 😂😂😂

I find myself returning to the question every now and then of "Could I do an Alice Is Missing AP in an audio only format and what would that look like?"

We are not sponsored but @crystalmaggie.bsky.social I WANNNTTTTTTTTT 😱

TTRPG Actual Play enjoyers: Do you mind when a show has a “Dice Roll” sound effect to signify when a roll is taking place or does it distract from the experience? Or does it not matter and I may be overthinking things? 😂😂

Happy Birthday! If you like Daggerheart , or want more of it after listening to our oneshot please check out The Naturolls for some amazing longer form content! 😁😁

Do I feel a tiny bit of a fraud when I have to put in “DND” in the hashtags of a post about something else because it’ll probably help the engagement. A little. Do I do it anyway? Yes! (Also partly because when telling people about the show I’ll always get asked “oh you play D&D?” 🙃

No cheating post your lock screen. (Here are the three I alternate between!)

Sometimes I think that initial first step in putting a thing out is to just do it. Our early series’ took so long because I was so worried I was putting out something “bad” it made me not want to do anything….and now I look back on that and laugh a little 😅

Can already tell our next project will be 3, possibly 4 episodes! But it should be a real doozy ☺️☺️☺️

And a list of games I’ve put an ungodly amount of hours into both new and old!

Does this say much about me in terms of the games I choose and run? Maybe 😂😂 here are my top 9 anime’s that influenced me

I saw “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” and these tickets could have been better cut I swear 😂😂😂 (Really good movie though - see it!)

Congratulations and the best of luck! 😁😁😁

Don’t worry why I’m reposting this but…. ….Just watch this space if you like vampires stomping in Nazis y’know? 👀

We had a big bulk of listeners come in today out of nowhere and so if you found our show hello! ….please tell us how you found us because I shotgun out so much it’s nice to know what lands sometimes 😂😂😂

The horror anthology tv show pipeline goes like this: Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids->Goosebumps->Are You Afraid of The Dark->Creepshow

Updated to Audacity 4 - Now to see how easy my next project is in it!

I don’t know how I didn’t know Warlock Pro Wrestling existed until now 👀 I may have to pick it up to bridge the gap being fantasy Actual Play and real wrestling show 😂😂

I want a Gurren Lagann eske TTRPG where your fighting spirit is your ability to battle, and you defeat an enemy by having them be completely demoralised or something. Someone tell me if this already exists.

Watched Return to Silent Hill tonight - I found it kind of amusing in a "I played the game and they're butchering this oh god" kind of way. A lot of really weird decisions made!

I’m always super curious when someone DOESNT like something that I adore. I was chatting to someone the other day about a show I love and they were like “I just didn’t finish it” but I needed to know how we had such differed experiences consuming the same piece of media 😅

For #SelfPromoSaturday it's our new podcast! Cinematic action! Simple rules! Giant robots! Terrible dice rolls! Check out Bring Down The Sky wherever you get your podcasts!

It's #SelfPromoSaturday, #Daggerheart and #ttrpg edition! We wanna celebrate the stuff you're doing, so share them below and we'll share them with everyone we can!

A reoccuring bit that seems to come up weekly at my home games: "Okay and that hits....What's your damage?" "WHATS YOUR DAMAGE HEATHER?" and it is funny every single time

Today is Bandcamp Friday, which means if your purchase any music on the site, 100% of it goes to the artist! If you want to buy this, or any of my other albums, today is a great day to do it!

We are having a very good September all of a sudden and I hope all the new listeners are enjoying everything! <3

Had a Heart session just now where the players had to battle "A Door Wizard" who could essentially summon a door to redirect any attack you threw at him back at you.... It was very amusing watching a PC blow themselves up with their own grenade to start the fight 😂

As war between the Terran Collective and the Aonic Primacy tears across Lodestar Alpha, one plucky fireteam get enlisted on a mission that could turn the tide of this galactic conflict. Get ready for big hearts and bigger guns - it's The Mecha Hack! #ttrpg #actualplay #mechahack
