We hope you're not here to learn character creation in new roleplaying systems, because here, we're all about breaking rules to adapt the character creator to let us play as a basic, run-of-the-mill cat. We accept no cop-outs, we don't acknowledge Homebrew materials, and we... very rarely come close to a pure and simple feline, but we do have fun along the way! Join us every other Wednesday to see what RPG we try to learn next!

  • 100 - Making An Agent of The Universal Cat Distribution System in Doctor Who
    Jun 24 2026

    Doctor Who is a British TV series that has captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the world, and as with many such series, someone tried making a TTRPG based on it as a result. We take a look at the less popular second edition of that RPG this episode! Anyway, you've heard jokes about the Cat Distribution System, but did you know it was canon to Doctor Who? Find out all about it on next week's episode, The Doctor's Pet Cat.

  • 99 - Making a Daring and Inquisitive Commander-In-Training in Star Trek Adventures
    Jun 10 2026

    Star Trek Adventures is a tabletop RPG by Modiphius about... uh. Star Trek. You know? One of the biggest Sci-Fi franchises ever? Yeah, WE don't watch it but I think most people do! Surely you've heard of it before! Whatever. We made a cat in it. It's the start of Silver Screen Summer. From now until the end of August, Tabletop RPGs based on licensed media is all you're getting, and you're gonna LIKE it.

  • 98 - Making a Cop Who Solves Cold Cases in Mutant City Blues
    May 27 2026

    Took us a while, but we finally got around to a good ol' fashioned Gumshoe RPG from Pelgrane Press. This is Mutant City Blues, the RPG about acting out a police procedural in a world where people have developed super powers. Our cat is one of those mutants, and has invented a special new forensic technique: licking the evidence!
