We are talking about Empires in Arms, which those in the know call both the best wargame ever as well as the ultimate RPG. The guests on our show are Herr Dockter and Robert from the famous Sawatdeee EiA-AARs on BGG. Dave also is the host of the „Guns, dice and butter “ podcast, the iconic show for the wargaming tribe. We talk about Empires in Arms in general, it’s uniqueness as an experience, the types of players it needs. Robert highlights how well geopolitics and international relations are organically modelled in EiA. We also dwell on the genius behind many of the rules systems, their elegance and emergent depth. Listen three EiA-addicts nerd out and listen to 5 minutes of host settembrini scrambling for the word „bond market“. Shownotes Herr Dr.’s BBG overview The podcast guns, dice and butter Napoleon by Georges Lefebvre, the book setti is adamant about must have been read by Greg Pinder or Harry Rowland
Wir gehen zurück, nicht zum Urschleim, sondern zum Ur-Horror (der deutschen Rolloszene): Call of Cthulhu als Rollenspiel! Ebenfalls sprechen wir über H. P. Lovecraft, sein Werk, sein Leben und seinen Antisemitismus und Rassismus, wie dieser im Wandel der Zeiten gesehen wird, und wie man seine Werke trotzdem und nicht deswegen genießen kann, (dem nicht alle von uns zustimmen).Freut Euch auf diesen kombinierten Auftakt zu Fanzine, Magazinen, Cthulhu, der deutschen Szene und Spezialausflügen in die Origin Story vom Hofrat selbst. Mit kirilow, [gemüse-]ghoul und settembrini. Anm. des Cutters: Leider hatte die Aufnahme von kirilow zwischendurch einen Defekt, daher klingt diese für eine Weile nicht so gut.

Gygax’s Ghost aka T. F. Smith returns to go on a deep dive with settembrini (who just finished the whole of it) on the vaunted TOEE. We go from the conceptual to the nitty-gritty detail of individual rooms, encounter design and textual archeology, seperating the Gygaxian wheat from the Mentzerian chaff. Shownotes Trent’s TOEE related Wild-Coast compatible brand new module Brink of Calamity The Famous Blog post
Von manchen als bestes Rollenspiel, von noch viel mehr als bestes Wargame-Erlebnis ihres Lebens bezeichnet, das Spiel Empires in Arms. Ghoul ist zu Gast und berichtet von seinem Weg hin zu diesem Monsterspiel. Settembrini und Ghoul gehen dann die Regeln überblicksartig durch und beleuchten die einzelnen Spielstaaten nach ihren Stärken, Schwächen und Möglichkeiten. Und versuchen zu vermitteln, wie unglaublich einnehmend dieses Spiel sein kann, es eine ganz besondere Immersion verursacht. Shownotes Designer Harry Rowland Das Spiel bei BGG.

Fritz of TENEPOD-fame visits the show to finalize our (four-part) Robert A. Heinlein Trilogy which started at the Empire Never Ended. We discuss Heinlein’s influence on the analog gaming world from Power Armor in Traveller to Battletech, Warhammer 40k, Vampire: The Masquerade, Mecha, OVA Anime itself and beyond, right up to Transhumanism and SpaceX and Project Artemis. We also wrap up the discussion of his novels with a highlight on Podkayne of Mars, Methusaleh’s Children and the remaining juveniles. With Heinlein-Fans like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel being very influential, this is more contemporary than anticipated. With fritz and settembrini.

Streit im ZBR! blut_und_glas & hasran verneinen den Einfluss der Spielleitung, kirilow und settembrini sehen das ganz anders: Unmittelbarkeit als bisher kaum besprochene SL-Qualität.

Simonsen & SPI), many luminaries of legendary GDW (Wiseman, the Keiths, John Harshman, Gary Gygax, Frank Chadwick and others ), crypto-fascism in our hobbies and real life, and how small things can have big impact for the positive. Other subjects include the role of D&D in forming both Traveller as well as changing the wargaming scene, Swiss design, font choices, and information presentation.
