Old Time Radio comes to life again... right at your game table!
On the Air is a 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 all-important 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. |

Here's what people are saying about On the Air!
"About halfway through the rulebook and this new storytelling game looks to be more or less exactly as brilliant as I'd hoped. Cynthia Celeste Miller is one of those designers whose stuff just keeps getting better." — Mark Silcox (customer)
"And On The Air captures [the spirit of Old Time Radio] perfectly (at least as best I can tell from reading it; playing will require finding at least one more OTR fan around here). The game system is geared toward dramatic action rather than grittily realistic simulation. It's laid out well and should be very easy to get into. The game system is simple in comparison to many, but perfectly suited to the subject." — Jean M. (DTRPG customer reviewer)
"If you are a fan of Old Time Radio and want to play a tabletop rpg that emulates this then pick up this game. I read it and it is fantastic! Can't wait to bring it to the table." — David Fox (customer)
"Oh wow! reading through the rules, I am very impressed with this game. I like how the book is arranged and the clear way they present the rules, gameplay and even history of Old Time Radio as one cohesive narrative." JP Doyle (customer)
