For the latest episode of the Play on Target podcast we work
through a series of quick-shot questions. These come from the RPG “Question of
the Day” threads on RPG Geek curated by Steve Donohue. Like the episode this post will
be a grab bag of ideas. A couple of details from the episode I should mention. First,
the Changeling the Lost campaign I mentioned has shifted over to Fate Core. We’ve
only done two sessions of that so far. I’ll talk more about that after we try
it some more. Second, Cards Against Humanity still hasn’t announced when the
video series for the Tabletop Deathmatch will air. They’ve said winter but with
no other specifics- which puts us in a difficult position regarding moving
forward on it, doing Kickstarters, etc. We’ll see. I’m pretty happy with this
episode though we don’t have Andrew present as a co-host. He’s back for the
next set we recorded. My favorite phrase from the episode “The Five Foot Step
Regime.”
*Blogging and posting will be light for November. This is
Nagademon- Nation Game Design Month. While I’m not formally doing a project for
that, I have two RPG projects I’ve been working on for a while that I want to
move forward on. I think I can get them into playable shape. I’m also getting
close to wrapping up two long running campaigns. I will still be putting out
the weekly History of Superhero RPGs lists.
*The last couple of weeks have been good in terms of
Kickstarter fulfillments. I received the last part of my Hillfolk backing- the
cards and tokens. I also got the rest of my Fate Core backing: which looks
awesome, awesome. I wasn’t sure what the Fate Worlds would be like, but they’re
quite useful. I have the Kingdom rpg coming soon, as well as Centurion. I’m
also looking forward to the Veronica Mars t-shirt which is supposed to drop
soon.
*RPG Geek remains one of my favorite communities- good
discussions, helpful advice, tools for tracking your collections, a useful
rating system based on user feedback. It also offers a powerful and rich
database of games- allowing you to search for those you might be interested in
(by genre, mechanics, etc). But the interface can be offputting If you
can get past that it is a superb resources for RPGers. This new video's a nice
introduction and overview for those intimidated by the site.
I'd also suggest this for game developers, event managers, and people who want to get the word out. They have a pretty dedicated group of gamers there worth tapping into for minimal effort. If you want to play an online game, you might consider joining the Play-by-VoiP Guild on RPG Geek. They're a solid crew.

*Last week I received a pdf review copy of Base Raiders. It
impressed me enough I immediately bought a print copy of it. I’ll be writing up my review of it soon. This weekend I ran an online one-shot session to try it
out. You can see the video below, if you like that sort of thing.
*If you like RPG Gaming podcasts, I hope you'll check it out.

Good podcast, though I wish there had been more of it or to it somehow. Still, if the fans want more you must be doing something right.
ReplyDeleteWhen it came to genre I wasn't surprised by the pro-Fantasy camp but was disappointed my people (Science Fiction/Space Adventure fans) were under-represented. :p
You can count me as one of the latter, too. :)
