ApocaPodcast (SciFi D&D style TTRPG): Recent Episodes
The ABC GM
ApocaPodcast is an actual play, role-playing game podcast that follows the lives of three survivors in the imaginary Post-Apocalyptic SciFi world of Toprak. Most of what you’re going to hear will be live improvised role playing.
We will be using the ABC role-playing game engine. ApocaPodcast aims to be a “family friendly” podcast by avoiding foul language and adult themes. However, there will be plenty of “fantasy violence” from fighting fantastical beasts that might tear someone to pieces, to the well-placed exploding head shot against a humanoid creature.
Erik goes on vacation and runs Tomb of Horrors with his niece and nephew using the Dread Engine (Jenga Tower) in this bonus episode!
Alpha test episodes are being recorded and edited! In the meantime please enjoy a BONUS episode where Erik goes on vacation and runs Tomb of Horrors with his niece and nephew using the Dread Engine (Jenga Tower).
Episodes may appear out of order until editing is finished. Don't worry. You haven't missed anything!
To maintain the highest quality content possible I will be taking a short break from podcasting to get my personal affairs in order. Work on the ABC game engine and alpha testing will continue in the background, but podcast episodes will be delayed by 3-6 months. Thank you for understanding. It's summer. Go outside and enjoy the weather! Have a blessed day. - The ABC Gamemaster
In this episode, we’re diving into the future of the podcast and we have big news! Actual play Alpha Tests of the ABC Game Engine are coming! The first adventure, "Lost Treasures of the Apocalypse", will feature a group of adventurers who dive into the deadly North West forest of Kita Kita to rescue a lost techno-archeologist.
We also wants to hear from you, the listeners! We are looking for your feedback on what you’d like to hear more of in the podcast. Do you want more examples of character creation? Or content on YouTube? What about a World Lore Wiki page? The possibilities are endless! Reach out to Erik on Twitter or Instagram at @theABCgm or via email at theABCgm@gmail.com. The ABC GameMaster is signing off and can't wait to hear from you!
Step into a world ruled by corporations in this week's episode of ApocaPodcast's Lore Drops! Join Erik and Jeremy as they explore the fascinating history of Kita Kita, a place where monolithic megacities and cutting-edge technology were the norm. From cybernetics to biologic enhancements, fusion generators to blood games, they delve deep into the dystopian society's inner workings. Discover the structure of the MacroCore mega corporation and the fascinating feudalistic, yet meritocratic, society it fostered. Don't miss this episode to uncover the secrets of Kita Kita's past before the adventure begins!
In this Lore Drop, Erik and Jeremy discuss Jeremy's character "Relic" in more detail and construct his character sheet. Somehow that takes 40 minutes...
TRDL: Relic is an engineer from the past with an environmental hazard protection suit and a souped-up laser cutter that goes pew pew!

Last episode I spoke with my player Justin about his character concept, a mutant humanoid serpent. However, this character still needed a name! In this episode we review name suggestions from Reddit. I'm keen on Snakey McSnakeFace myself.
In this Lore Drop I speak with one of my players, Justin, who will be playing a melee oriented mutant humanoid serpent. He talks a little bit about his character and we walk through the character creation process for the ABC system.
Join Erik and Jeremy as they design a continent map of Kita Kita based on previous Lord Drops. Packed full of teaser content, we review a multitude of biomes, terrains, and creatures - from the deadly insects of the Northwest, to the giant Chickaphants of the East, and everything in between.
In the adventure, Jeremy will be playing a character named Relic, a man from the past who is having difficulty adjusting to the future. As Erik's de facto expert on all things ancient, Jeremy has spearheaded the idea of making a map for their game based on previous Lord Drops. To make the map have been using the Azgaar Fantasy Map Generator.
This is an announcement where I redirect new listeners to Episode Zero and thank current listeners for their support!
ApocaPodcast is an actual play, role-playing game podcast that follows the lives of three survivors in the imaginary post-apocalyptic world of Toprak. I have designed a world from scratch for both you, the listeners, and the players to explore. The past is what you or I would call futuristic or cyberpunk, and the present is a post-apocalyptic world filled with weird creatures and anarchy. I tried my best to smash the bunch of different post-apocalyptic and sci-fi genres together on a single continent with four or five different regions to explore, ranging from Mad Max to zombie apocalypse to sentient killer robots.
Both Apocapodcast and the ABC game engine are works in progress. This episode kicks off a series of "behind the scenes" podcasts known as “Lore Drops” in preparation for the official start of the adventure.
