Herein we create our ship, the command crew, and establish the foundation for the campaign's story. It was fascinating and fun to get creative with the help of the excellent random tables in the Captain's Log book and by discussing the process with each other.

Herein we create characters together, relying on the random tables in the CG rulebook for results and inspiration. We’ll use these characters in the co-op game we’re going to start playing shortly, which will become a regular feature on the show.

Following up our talk about Bond and a 2d20 1:1 ruleset, we discuss the tropes of spy and espionage stories, both for use within that genre of games and in others, too. Join our Discord at https://discord.gg/5AtydRUDjX and find us on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@fluffncrunchpod

Although Ahris comes with around 60 monsters and NPCs ready to use, the flexible monster creation system will enable you to stat out any creature or foe from literature, mythology, your mind, or other properties. In this episode we build two iconic monsters, no prep involved. Listen to our podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fluffncrunch Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/5AtydRUDjX

Following our "Essential Elements" episode last week, we lay the foundation for a 1:1 Bond game, and by extension other 1:1 games, using the 2d20 SRD, and promise to work on it over the next month or so to make it playable. Join us on our Discord: https://discord.gg/5AtydRUDjX

Herein we discuss what makes a Bond story, and therefore what must be included in order to fit as a TTRPG. In order next episode we take the 2d20 SRD for another joyride as we work out ideas for a 1:1 - one player, one GM - game system for Bond.

Herein we discuss the whole book and come to a surprising difference of opinions about it.

Herein we discuss how we'd use the 2d20 SRD to sketch out the basics of a Star Wars RPG, and make some promises about doing so.

Last year we did an episode on how to approach the process of converting an existing property into a game system. Today we approach Star Wars for that purpose, given that although there are several systems, current and dead, for SW, we are not overly fond of any of them, and so we are going to offer our ideas for working up a 2d20 conversion.

Herein we discuss how difficult it is for a GM to create, present, and maintain a horror vibe, and then offer some suggestions for how to do it. Join the discussion our Discord here: https://discord.gg/5AtydRUDjX You can see the full list of Chill horror RPG books available on DriveThru here , and go directly to the free quickstart here .

If you want to get right to the episode, in which we react to and assess the movie, and talk about it through a GM's lens, skip to 14:20, after we review in depth Chris's Wondrous Adventure to America (pronounced KWA-AH).

This is our first in a series, which we'll return to over the next few months, hopefully before HAL or Skynet destroys us all.
