    On Suspected Inspirations for the Delta Green RPG with Jason Connerley

    We hope you enjoy our discussion. If you are inspired to leave a comment, you can do so at SpeakPipe, on Spotify, or at the following email address: runescastshadows AT gmail. My guest for this episode was kind enough to join me out of a shared appreciation for the ⁠GoBag podcast⁠. GoBag focuses on covert action RPGs and maintains a lively tone of enthusiasm and a thirst for adventure. At time of recording they are in their second season and focusing on the Delta Green RPG. Jason Connerley, former host of the Nerds RPG Variety Cast, was kind enough to join me in this episode to talk about a variety of RPGs and other media which broke ground in the territory which Delta Green explores so well. These innovative games had to face similar questions and problems, and each has a unique voice in the answers they present. Jason and I hope that returning to look at these old inspirations might be useful to spark ideas and expand understanding about this genre which is thrilling for players, but hard on characters~ Topical Links from our Discussion: GoBag Podcast Homepage Stalking the Night Fantastic / Bureau 13 Beyond the Supernatural Dark Conspiracy Over the Edge Unknown Armies

    A friendly conversation about natural-feeling characters with SettingFirstRPG

    In this installment of the Friendly Conversations about RPGs series, I am joined by Erik Schmidt of the Setting First YouTube Channel, Blog, and Discord (Links Below). Our topic for this discussion is the interplay of setting, character, and player perspective to help foster characters which feel believable and lead players toward play that feels natural and grounded in that setting. If you enjoy where this conversation goes and how it gets there, I encourage you to take a look at Erik's channel and follow the link to the Setting First Discord.

    A Friendly Conversation on Character Social Inequality in RPGs

    This is a 1:1 conversation with Scott Welker, long-time gamer and successful game designer, and most importantly for this video: 30 years of experience in the Navy working his way up to the top of the Enlisted ranks. With titles based in Savage Worlds, D20, Year Zero, and soon a system of his own making. Scott is one half of @ThievesGuildGamingOfficial. Our conversation is an examination of concerns with representing rank and social differences in RPGs, things to consider when making them a part of play, perspectives to view rank from, and some suggestions for making it seem real enough to satisfy the needs of your group. Scott has written a game for Savage Worlds called Task Force Raven which puts the players in the roles of Tier 1 Operators and that plays its own role in our discussion. We do not discuss his Year Zero cyberpunk release, Neon Blood, but it too has fertile ground for including this sort of play. Neon Blood can be found here in an OSR version, and here for its YZE version. CONTACT ME: Send in a voice message via Speakpipe!

    A Frightfully Cheerful Conversation on Horror and Comedy

    Special Guests:   ⁨@OrcusDorkus⁩   ⁨ @RPGSean⁩   ⁨ @ThirdFloorWars⁩  Panel Topic: Running Horror, Comedy, or Comedic Horror - in the moment. In this audio-only version of our frightfully cheerful conversation nothing has been cut or lost, but the video version on YouTube has had some extra details, notes, and ideas added to it which you might appreciate. You can also see all the nodding in that version~ Games Mentioned: Call of Cthulhu, Kult: Divinity Lost, Mothership, Ghostbusters, Army of Darkness, The Laundry, Paranoia, Outbreak Undead, The End of the World, Delta Green, Liminal Horror, Rivers of London, and more Premise: What if four fellows with different views on horror in their lives and different approaches to humor found themselves in a chatroom to share their experiences with RPGs? Not telling war stories, not pontificating, but instead finding common ground and simple truths - like we do in a good group of gamers.

    On the idea of a "Better Game"

    This episode is another review of a post from the Casting Shadows blog, though this time the Wayback Machine is just taking us five short years (and a few decades of observation and experience) into the past. This time we look at a post based on the increasingly narrowing rhetoric around the technique of the Session 0 which tries to restore the balance required in that technique for long-term play. This time, the full post is presented before I get into any commentary from the present of the time of recording. Among the things in that commentary is a link to an earlier video on the same theme, but slightly different topic. It is linked below and is called Theories & Practices. It's almost a rant. One of two I may have recorded in all my time sharing RPG ideas. LINKS: A friend of the show, Patrick Mullen, on his Processing GURPS blog has recently referenced the Can I make my game better post in a post of his own about his process of setting up a new campaign. I think we need many such examples of the great variety of approaches and needs we gamers have and so I share the link here: Zero Hour Theories & Practices video mentioned in the episode. This video was recorded in 2014 in response to an uptick in extreme views in the regular cyclical confrontation between preferences between 'Just play!' and 'Elitist Theory instead of play!' ⁠ Can I make my game better?⁠ blog post on Casting Shadows CONTACT: Leave a voice message via ⁠⁠SpeakPipe⁠⁠ https://speakpipe.com/castingshadowspodcast.com Seek me out on BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/runeslinger.bsky.social Visit the written blog https://castingshadowsblog.com Check out other episodes of this podcast https://castingshadowspodcast.com Still using e-mail? runescastshadows AT gmail

    Biting the Bullet with Jason Hobbs [video]

    For this video version of this episode, I am joined by the host of the seemingly lapsed Hobbs and Friends, and the sadly sporadic Random Screed, by the Mr. Hobbs of Mr. Hobbs' Gamerhood: Jason Hobbs. He and I dive into some core elements of his recent foray into game writing with his release 'Bite the Bullet' which you can obtain PWYW on itch.io or DriveThruRPG. The game, a western-themed RPG based on Into the Odd, puts a tight focus on who the character is and what they will do to get what they want. We dig into that, and some of the approaches we might take to playing it in this discussion.
