With a new Elric RPG announced, Chris and Andy discuss what their dream Eternal Champion game might look like. Plus, Chris discovers Christopher Priest’s The Prestige and Andy glumly reports about the (non)state of his Band of Blades game.
Andy talks about an upcoming game he’s kicking off. It’ll be the 3rd time he’s tried it! They gush about forged in the dark, talk about the value of running campaigns, and discuss building dungeons with random tables.
Chris explored a cave recently! That brings Andy and Chris to discuss the challenge of injecting the thrill of real-world locations into their in-game versions. Can a fantasy game about fighting goblins in caves convey some of that real-world excitement?
Chris has been busy building props for a school play, and wonders how some of that energy might be expressed at the game table! Also, Andy and Chris discuss the joys of history and the ways they do and don’t make history and culture an important part of player characters.
Lots to catch up on this episode, including the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, edgelord vampire roleplaying from the 1990s, and Chris’ dilemma as a player: can he respec a PC that isn’t mechanically working the way he intended?
Chris and Jess talk about a small Daggerheart campaign that Jess ran and Chris played in! (Andy will be back next time!)
Andy’s back from his weekend GMing an Antarctic Cthulhu campaign, and Chris has questions! Topics covered include the value of creating special game events like this, the challenge of fighting a long campaign into a short weekend, and more.
Chris is heading off on a work trip, so discussion turns to which RPGs or board games you squeeze into your suitcase when traveling. With snow days and work trips imposing on our schedules, it’s a short episode–but we’ll be back next episode with a detailed breakdown of Andy’s epic Arkham Horror RPG weekend.
