This episode, alongside a handful of exciting ones, was recorded a looooong time ago.

My apologies to the listeners and my guest for how much time it took me to edit it.

It was only a matter of time before took a dive into the Toretto Saga. Here’s Fast Five, aka Fast & Furious Five, or Fast & Furious: Rio Heist.

I’m joined by two absolute fans:

• Anna S, talented photographer and co-producer of the Spirit On Tap DnD actual play podcast
• Grant Howitt, co-founder of Rowan, Rook & Decard, game designer and author of “Honey Heist“, “Spire“, and “Heart: The City Beneath“.

As usual, we review this film and discuss ways it could inspire tabletop RPG adventures, characters or practices.

Mentioned tabletop RPG settings and systems:

• “Crash Pandas“, “The Rapid and the Righteous“, “Spire“, “Heart: The City Beneath” and “Jason Statham’s Big Vacation” by Grant Howitt for Rowan, Rook & Decard
• “Blades in the Dark” by John Harper for One Seven
• “Powered by the Apocalypse“, range of games inspired by the engine from “Apocalypse World” by D. Vincent Baker and Meguey Baker for Lumpley Games
• “Love by the Quarter Mile” by Mark Meredith for Dice Monkey ,which you might already own if you bought the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality
• “The Rapid and the Righteous” by Grant Howitt for Rowan, Rook & Decard
• “Wushu – The Ancient Art of Action Roleplaying” by Daniel Bayn
• “Kids on Brooms” and “Teens in Space” by Hunters Entertainment
• “For the Queen” by Alex Roberts for Evil Hat
• “Final Lap” by Nicolas ‘Gulix’ Ronvel

For our next episode, I will continue my slow progress into my recordings backlog (unless Michael releases another one in the meantime), with A Knight’s Tale. This episode will feature James D’Amato and Scott Malthouse.

See you then for more silver screen extravaganza.

Cheers
