Gaming on the Frontier

Almost Dead from Gencon 2012!  We recorded this about 2AM on Saturday right after Savage Saturday Nights.  We ran 10 demos of Tri Tac Games this year, at least half using the Savage Worlds System, two using d20 Modern and even 2 using the original Tri Tac rules by Richard Tucholka, himself. This was the first time all the podcast hosts were physically in the same room together.

We continue to re-broadcast the John Reiher's SundaySkyper, Sunday Brunch episodes of HardWired Hinterland Actual Play.  In episode 5 we have a knock down, bone breaking, bare fist fight between one of our heroes and a great ape.  Who will break a bone first?  Will it end in a knockout or will it go to the bloody end? The descriptions are realistic so you were warned.

This week we finish our summary of creating a great fringeworthy campaign.  It draws from all the 132 podcasts we've done so far.  We know that our early episodes, while still available at the podbean site, are not always accessible through itunes or other podcatchers.  We hope that this summary will help remind experienced gamemasters what to keep essential in their games and will be a good resou...

This week we conclude our series on Winging It - Handling unexpected events in your campaign.

John Reiher has been running a Hard Wired Hinterland game over at the Sunday Skypers.  They have lots of actual play adventure that are definitely worth a listen.  This is the 4th of 4 sessions that really illustrates what  rich and fun adventures can be run in this great game world.

This week we begin our series on Winging It - Handling unexpected events in your campaign.

This week we finish our 3 part episode on Troublesome Characters, part of our "Saying Yes" series.  This week Bruce has Scratch, an urban tribal character who, while intensely communicative, is almost impossible to easily understand.  How to integrate someone who defys normal social conventions and appearances?  Listen and comment.

We continue with our xbox matchmaking.  No seriously we are talking again about characters that are worth playing but don't integrate well with other characters.  This week Robert (Trav) brings us a military jock who just can't stand scientists and brainy types - a tough mix with Fringeworthy adventurers and other games with strong tech aspects.

This week start our journey with some hard to handle characters.  Troublesome characters are those who don't fit well into a party but have something that makes them worth playing.  We start off with John's character:  the friendly sociopath.  Not to be topped, Peter follows with a cannibal.  That right.  Sweet dreams everyone.

This week we finish our latest batch of user questions.  We range all over the place including Bureau 13 for some Zombie and Vampire questions.  Hope you've enjoyed it. Please leave us a positive review on Itunes or Facebook.

This week we continue with another short question on the Blizniz.  Then we discuss a big question about what Mellor Society and destiny might be after a cure for the mellor madness is found.

More questions from our fans to answer.  We start off with a Fringeworthy question about the Blizniz, the elephantine race with the prehensile trunk.  The amount of discussion about this race has been amazing, but they are a very different race.  I love all the possibilities that each GM can try since there isn't a lot of canon about this race.

This week we finish our great interview with Dr. Nik Palmer who has written two great modules, Caravan and Seven Deadly Sins, great for Fringeworthy and Bureau 13 respectively. We hope you enjoyed this episode and will buy Dr Nik's adventures for your campaigns.  We look forward to everyone showing up at Gencon to play in our game sessions.  Even if all of them are sold out, please show up with ge...

This week we start our interview with Dr Nik Palmer, a long time RPG adventure writer who has just released 2 great products on Drive Thru RPG:  Mesopotamia and The Seven Deadly Sins Mesopotamia is set in 3000 years BC in our historical past, but with all the mythology, magic, and mayhem intact.  Fringworthy fans know that many Fringworthy worlds go to times in the past.  This adventure path is a...

This week we finish our discussion of the Golden Horde, The Fringeworthy Alternate World where the dominant culture is descended from Gengis Khan, and what fun it would be to play one of the horde in your campaign.

This week we explore putting a member of a member of the Mongol Empire in your exploring party for Fringeworthy.  As one of the alternate earths in Fringeworthy goes to where the golden horde conquered the world, this is very possible.  We explore the beginnings of such a culture and how that culture would clash with that of a 21st century viewpoint. Also we want to remind everyone to sign up for...

We finish out our questions from Facebook session.  More Fringeworthy goodness, alternate histories, mellor, and what if's. We just finished another question recording session but that won't drop for a few more weeks since I like to vary our content.  So keep sending in those questions.

This week we answer player questions about Fringeworthy.  We'd love to answer questions about any of our other games such as Bureau 13, Hardwired Hinterlands, FTL 2448, Incursion, WeirdZone, and even Duck Trooper and Beach Bunny Bimbos with Blasters. However, we need you to send them in.  We are recording another questions session this Wednesday, so please send us your questions via facebook or co...

This week we continue our discussion with Mark Kinney of All Games Considered about how to promote your podcast or other media.  We recap our best advice on equipment for recording audio and then continue with promo's, forums, and convention demos.
