On the Air (Spectrum Games)An interesting looking new roleplaying game, from Spectrum Games, arrived on DriveThruRPG yesterday and it takes players into the world of old time radio. On the Air tasks the players with creating a series, sponsors, stories and more. The 53 page rule book is available in PDF for $6.95. As someone who has always been a fan of OTR (check out our Spooktaculars every October) this is something I’m keen to check out.

From Spectrum:

The spirit of Old Time Radio lives again with On the Air, the storytelling RPG that faithfully emulates the action, excitement and mystery found in the radio programs of the 1930s and ’40s. Construct a series, create a sponsor, whip up characters and you’re ready to play. Once the series is created, very little prep time is required to play the game, thanks to the narrative structure of the Intention System.

Get ready to engage in an all-new way of narrating your character’s actions… and don’t forget to promote your sponsor’s products to earn the potent Sponsorship Token! Each episode is allowed only a certain number of die rolls in order to depict the tight time restraints of those old programs, so you’d better make every action count!

On the Air is best enjoyed by one Director and between one and three players. You’ll need d4s, d6s and d8s.
