Crossing Genres Ep87

Some archetypes can cross over to any genre.

Who says that when you are creating a campaign or making a character for a game that you have to derive inspiration from sources within the same genre as the one that the game is set? There are many different avenues from which a good story or character can come from.

 

We talk about some of our favorite character and campaign ideas that can be adapted to any genre.

Absent Gamers – Ep43

This is what you are texted when you miss one of our games. Missed fortitude save, sorry Jayson.

Anyone who has gamed has had to deal with the gamer who is not there. Be it a family obligation, work, a booty call or even to go to the bathroom, sometimes players will not be able to make it to or have to leave the game.

 

This is how we handle that very common situation (and in a mostly immature fashion).

PC Plots and Betrayals – Ep36

No one is better with plots and schemes than the Bene Gesserit.

Something that is lost in a lot of organized or linear campaigns and adventures is the concept of character ambition. Some of the most compelling villains were once friends to the heroes and their betrayal makes them stronger characters in the story.

 

In this episode we dig into the concepts of plotting and betrayals.
