A month or so ago Jonathan Tweet made poorly informed and ill-judged comments on Twitter and Pelgrane Press recently disassociated themselves from him.
Friday night, chilling with the anchorites. Touching on Dungeon Crawl Classics, Old School Essentials, the Dungeon Mayhem Card Game and Numenera. Correction: of course DCC has ‘Warriors’ not ‘Fighters’.
Responding to Joe, Spencer, Colin and Rfed. Even less articulate than usual as on the move. Discussion ranges through FFG Star Wars, The One Ring, 13th Age and Numenera.
I have the pre-release pdfs of Gavin Norman’s Old School Essentials and offer my thoughts. Corrigendum from Gavin Norman: contrary to my suggestion about modern touches, virtually everything in the game is as it was written in B/X.
It’s Wednesday, so it’s random tables. This week, the tale of Legs Lacan. If you’re listening on Anchor, that’s Inspiral Carpets’ ‘Just Wednesday’ in the intro.
I finish rolling a Lifepath for ‘Stitch’ in Cyberpunk 2020 (started in episode 5) and tease ‘Maze Rats in the 9th World’ and ‘Kung Fu Cops!!’, on which more later...
I manage to get my first whole episode out of engaging with listeners. I also consider #indieosr. Sorry about the rustling - I’m still experimenting with when and where to record!
I begin rolling a character’s life path in Cyberpunk 2020 and offer some thoughts on the Cyberpunk genre. The story of STITCH concludes in Ep 8. The rule book lists ‘Sudanese’ under Pacific Island ethnic origin - presume this is an error?
Why I think The Black Hack 2e is the best rules lite/ osr product out there. I don’t roll any dice today. Edit: Listening back, I know you’ll have to roll a d4 *on average* 4 times to get a 1, not ‘at least’ 4 times, as I said!
