Setting the Stage Episode 47 – Malcolm and Our Town

Published by

January 15, 2025

Malcolm, a member of the Advanced Age Roleplaying Gamers (AARPG) podcast, joins us to talk about one of his campaigns named Our Town. The concept for Our Town came about accidentally where rather than going on an adventure, the players all stayed in town and wanted to kick out any outsiders that wanted to change their little village. A rival baron to their lord schemes to take over their town and the players formed a neighborhood watch of sorts to punish anyone who threatens their culture. The game was played using the Generic Universal Roleplaying System (GURPS), a great system for simple humans trying to live simple lives.

The AARPG podcast that Malcolm is a part of is a group of friends that’s been playing RPGs together since the 80’s. They met in community college and have been gaming off and on ever since. The podcast is led by Matt and Nathan of the group. It’s a variety podcast with mostly short campaigns from different games and the occasional interview segment mixed in.

Applying TTRPG Customer Profiles to the Setting the Stage Podcast – GoCorral

February 20, 2026

[…] Greg Grognard – This customer profile might run into an issue. That being, there don’t appear to be many Gregs listening to my podcast. I’d need to ad swap with a different podcast that has a strong Greg audience. Unfortunately, I don’t know which podcasts like that which would also be willing to ad swap with me. Because if the other podcast is mostly Gregs, then they wouldn’t get much out of an ad on my show! That said, Greg would probably like episodes 9 – Scraw and Gnomestones, 14 – Nathan and Aenea, 15 – Hayden & Carson and Egress, 19 – John and Onlap, 39 – Jeph and Big Campaign, and 47 – Malcolm and Our Town.
