A) Heroic Cthulu
Logan posted on the ForgedRPG forums to tell us about this actual play podcast. These are recorded sessions of table top roleplaying games using a heavily modified BRP (basic role play) system used by Chaosium's Call of Cthulu. See the boards at http://heroiccthulhu.proboards105.com/index.cgi

B) Monarch Comic Briefing
The Monarch Comics Briefing is one of the podcasts from those guys over at Fist Full of Comics and Games. It's got Tangent (Victor) and Ed from the Monarch Comics store. I'm not collecting comics any more, but I'm very interested in them and I still pick up a few. This podcast keeps me up to date, and has really opened my eyes regarding some titles I otherwise would have missed. Just one thing: I haven't heard them mention Nextwave, Agents of HATE. This may pose a problem. You can find the podcast at http://www.fistfullofcomics.com/podcasts/category/monarch-comics-briefing/

A) RPGPodcasts.com
From Ryan Macklin, the man who brings you the Master Plan, RPGPodcasts.com is a directory of audio and video shows about role-playing games and other games, all freely available on the Internet. This gives a nice central location from which to browse podcasts that might be of interest. This has only recently seen the light of day, but go and have a look.

You can find it at rpgpodcasts.com/

B) Goblin, the Gaming Broadcast Network Facing Change
Goblin, the Gaming Broadcast Network, known by its famous GBNcom.com is changing its frontpage. They are going to more of a blog format, and its all very rough right now, but I like what I'm seeing so far. If you haven't checked it out, head on over there. Most of the big gaming podcasts are linked there, and they are doing a nice job of keeping things up to date.

You can find it at gbncom.com/.

3. The Hook
This is stolen directly from Nextwave: Agents of HATE, but it also has a touch of the Nick Fury vs. SHIELD mini-series: Your group is part of a government covert (or overt) detachment assigned to ferreting out an evil terrorist plot. You are far more successful than anyone anticipates, and you actually uncover the power behind the plot: it's the very organization for which you work.
The organization may have been have been infiltrated long ago and slowly turned to become a tool of the terrorists, or perhaps the terrorist group is a creation of your organization, either wittingly to increase funding and support from the government or unwittingly as a black propaganda project that went wrong. Whatever the case, your bosses are the ones also running the badguys. Now, in order to stop a fiendish terrorist plot, your group has to go underground, use your organizations' assets against it, and destroy this threat to world peace.

Why is this important? Listen to Accidental Survivors Episode 8 (Chainmail Bikini) and listen to Mr. Oh-So-Superior ridiculing the correct pronunciation of Green Ronin.

Covert Forces Redux has entered the editing stage. The pics have been compiled. Once the editing is finished, it'll head to layout and you should be seeing it in the second quarter of this year.

Work has begun on Election Day, an adventure for release through the "Modern Dispatch" subscription package, and through SEP. This is a short adventure set in Albenistan.

The writer of Treasure Chest Unlocked: Gems, Craig Churchill, has handed in some rough drafts for Treasure Chest Unlocked: Incense. It is still in the early stages, but all indications are promising.

No Bloopers this time due to time constraints. There weren't that many good ones anyway.

For those who enjoyed Yog-Sothoth's last Call of Cthulhu audio campaign, the Masks of Nyarlathotep, well here's the beginning of a new one for 2007. The Bradford players have got on board the Cthulhu train again as they make their way into the classic Horror on the Orient Express campaign from Chaosium.

The episodes are available in MP3 format, but this time are released in even higher quality, 96KBPS stereo (twice that of before) and feature 3D Surround Sound, so you can hear where the players are around the games table, as if you were in the middle of it all. (Try Episode 01 on headphones for full effect.)

So, feel free to follow along as the new party receive a phone call and an old friend asks a small favour...

You can find a selection of materials in support of the audio game via: http://www.yog-sothoth.com/express including handouts, party photos and initial character sheets, so jump on board! You can find more information at http://www.yog-sothoth.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=358

Daniel Perez of Highmoon Media, a role-playing game publisher, has re-started the Gamer Traveler podcast. Now, this used to be a section on Dragon's Landing Inn, and it was always a lot of fun. Now it's on its own. Episode 0--an introduction--and Episode 1--on Warwick Castle--are up. Go have a listen. I'm subscribing to this one. It's great. It's a one man podcast, but Daniel is an animated host and he maintains a good pace, or else he puts a lot of time into editing. Whatever the case, its great fun to listen to and a definite quality podcast. You can find it at www.thegamertraveler.com

5. Resources
No SEP news this episode--everything's different this time around, so instead, how about a list of resources for your military game? Yeah, lots of SEP stuff in there. Still, check out the reviews--it's good stuff!

RPGNow: d20 Modern/Military: If you're looking for d20 military stuff, this is where it's at--for download!

Covert Forces: A resource for any spec ops campaign. Filled with flavour but very little crunch.

Canada's CSRS: This short PDF tells all about a fictional, Canadian spec ops unit. Easily adaptable to any military or paramilitary force.

B&G2: In Her Majesty's Service: A supplment for RPG Object's Blood & Guts 2: Modern Military all about the spec ops and elite forces from the United Kingdom.

B&G2: Military Training Manual: The core book for any d20 military campaign. Full of classes, feats, and skill applications to give your campaign the proper feel and your players the proper tools.

B&G2: Special Operations Command: The B&G2 spec ops supplement for the United States. Packed with templates for a wide variety of SOC units, from Airforce Combat Controllers to Delta Force.

Teams SAS: A ready-made SAS Patrol along with notes on equipment.

The Counter Terrorism Assaulter: A prestige class from SEP's acclaimed Roles & Classes line. This one's a high-speed, low-drag door kicker, ready to clear the room and save the day.

The Special Operations Marksman: A prestige class from SEP's acclaimed Roles & Classes line. Not just a deadshot, but part ghost and part predator, invisibly stalking prey on the battlefield.

Spec Ops Recce: A prestige class from SEP's acclaimed Roles & Classes line. When your survival is at stake, whether in the jungle or the desert, this master of recon will keep you safe and get you where you need to go.

And for adventures:
The Albenistan Series: A collection of 3 adventures, which can be purchased separately, that combine in a single story arc. First you find out about a threat, then you find out things are worse than you thought, then you pretty much have to save the world . . . or at least one little part of it. Spec ops at its most exhilarating! Would I lie to you?

Hey All

Okay, big delay and I'm sorry about that. We won't have a regular show for you this time, but I will get something up to hold you over until the next real episode. I mean, I know you can't go on without your Accidental Survivors fix.

Give me some sugar, baby.
