GMS Magazine RPG and Board Games Podcast
By Paco García Jaén


Episode 518 - NewTSR disappears at last and review of Autobahn, a mediocre game.
The NewTSR odyssey has ended at last. After years of controversy and bigotry, years of lying about products that were never meant to be in the first place, they are gone. And the world of RPGs is better for it.
And Chris has a review of Autobahn... he is not very impressed.

Episode 517 - Is Asmodee trying to monopolise the market?
Asmodee has bought Zombicide from C'Mon... does this signal the end of C'mon?
With the number of purchases Asmodee is doing at the moment, seems they are doing like some videogames firms buying firms and then dismissing them once they get what they want.

Episode 511 - Urban Shadows interview with Mark Diaz Truman
In this episode I had the gigantic pleasure of chatting with Mark Diaz Truman about a game that had to wait a long time to see the light of day.
But it has ben SO worth it!
The city hungers. Will you feed it?
The streets bleed shadows as the supernatural politics of the city threaten to swallow you whole. Will you suffer as the savior for those who don't have enough, or take advantage of the weakness in friend and foe alike? Will you fight the darkness... or give in for power?
Urban Shadows is an urban fantasy tabletop roleplaying game in which mortals and monsters vie for control of a modern-day city in a political battleground layered just under the reality we think we know. Vampires, faeries, hunters, and wizards fight to carve out a piece of the streets and skyscrapers, ready to make deals with all those who have something to offer.
In this book, you’ll find:
12 unique character playbooks, each tuned to put your characters at the center of an urban fantasy story driven by allegiances, debts, and status
4 supernatural Circles—Mortalis, Night, Wild, and Power—whose nightly politics fill the city with dramatic twists and intriguing NPCs
Clearly-defined mechanics that push the fiction forward every time a player rolls the dice, advancing your group’s tale at every turn
Detailed advice for the Master of Ceremonies, the player running the game, including 2 city guides—Chicago and Santiago—packed with story hooks
All-new mechanics for backroom deals and faction play that make the nightly politics of the city real for players and NPCs alike
The choice is yours. The city awaits.
Find out more on the Magpie Games website.

Episode 509: SIGIL goes away and what is the future of the RPG world?
SIGIL was (is?) the VTT project that Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) hoped would bring D&D to a different and new level. With gorgeous looks and even more demanding equipment requirements, it felt like they were really going for it,but… 90% of the staff has been laid off.
And what is the future of rpg firms given the rise in price for printing?

Episode 504: Evil Genius Games (EGG) going under?
Over the last year, Evil Genius Games has managed to alienate a ton of people with their incursion in the world of crypto and accepting investment from crypto-currency firms.

TTRPG Interview: Drintera with Andrew Gronoski
Drintera® is a lore-rich fantasy TTRPG setting inspired by world cultures and heroic mythology. The gods have proclaimed the Age of Destiny. Adventurers, stride forth to claim your place in legend! Magic in Drintera makes narrative sense, not rational sense. Enchantments can take hold of the very land to create places of wonder—or dread. As in the legend of the Fisher King, a great tragedy that strikes a royal house can bring a curse upon the entire kingdom. As in the legend, a heroic quest can lift the curse. That’s why Drintera will always need heroes. The many lands and cultures of Drintera are written by a diverse international team. We’re building Drintera month by month as a PDF magazine. Each issue contains 20+ pages of creative fuel for the game master: nations, factions, gods and sects, legends, adventure locations, story ideas, villains, and creature lore, and game master advice.

Episode 20: Fewer sales of RPGs? Games you always win and Be Like a Crow review
Are we seeing a decrease in the sales of RPGs? Over the last few weeks, a lot of small publishers have ceased to exist from the DMs Guild. In the region of 500. Given the thousands of people there, it doesn’t sound like much, but how many people are leaving and how many people just publish one product and then give up?
On part two, we discuss if games in which you discover a winning strategy that works every time and allows you to win every game are good games. Are you interested in playing a game you know you’re going to win even before you start playing?
And last, but not least, a review of Be like a Crow, a solo journaling RPG by Kritical Kit that puts the players in the wings of crows, rooks and ravens in a variety of environments, from high fantasy to political intrigue in the medieval British Court.

Evil Genius Games goes crypto (again!), Dragonmeet, Muskbro and AI Podcasts
This episode of the GMS Magazine podcast kicks off with host Paco Garcia and co-host Chris from Dias XMachina chatting about Paco's recent trip to Dragonmeet in London.
After the Dragon Meet discussion, the hosts switch gears to talk about some recent news in the tabletop roleplaying game industry, starting with an investment announcement from Evil Genius Games. Evil Genius Games has secured funding from Alumni Ventures to develop a "games as a service" platform.
Paco and Chris turn their attention to everyone's (least) favorite billionaire, Elon Musk, and his recent comments about potentially buying Hasbro.
Moving on from billionaire shenanigans, Kickstarter projects that seems to be going nowhere.
Chris also shares his experience with Notebook LM, a Google tool that can generate podcasts from text. This leads to a discussion about the potential dangers of AI-generated content and the importance of verifying information.
Finally, Chris wraps up the episode with a review of the board game "Super Motherload". He describes the gameplay, highlighting its unique deck-building mechanics and "conveyor belt" board.

Guys as gender neutral, Gygax was sexist and two reviews: Lost Mountain Saga and Apocrypha
Language can be a tricky thing with many nuances for different expressions. “Guys” is one of those words that raise eyebrows depending on how you use it. Do you use it as a gender-neutral pronoun or do you use it as a male pronoun?
Recently Gary Gygax came back to the fray when petulant billionaire Elon Musk decided to attack anyone and everyone who thought that Gygax was sexist. He was. Undeniably. But there was more to him than that. We talk about it.
And two reviews:
The Lost Mountain Saga, of which I think I have already spoken in the past. This multi-adventure campaign for Vaesen and authored by Ellinor DiLorenzo takes the players to the north of Sweden to investigate what is going on in the depths of the mine of a remote town that has recently seen a new life.
And Chris talks about Apocrypha, one of his favourite games and why he thinks it is better than the Pathfinder card game.

Interview: Mike Selinker. Apocrypha and Llord of Vegas
In this episode Chris Dias talks to reknown game designer Mike Selinker about Apocrypha and the new edition of Lords of Vegas. About Apocrypha: The Apocrypha Adventure Card Game allows you to play it as a cooperative card game, or with a game master as a role playing game. The world is on the brink of an apocalypse, set in motion by monsters only your characters can see. Gameplay is story-based, and features deck construction and character growth. Over time, characters will unlock repressed memory fragments that will add new powers. Each mission has a unique setup and goal, which often involves hunting down a true threat hiding among the cards at the nexuses that characters investigate. The base game, called The World, comes with 584 cards, 20 six-sided dice, 1 rulebook, 1 storybook, 30 dividers, and 10 character stand-up tokens; The World contains the starting chapter of Candlepoint, Wisconsin, and also the Skinwalkers chapter. Eight more chapters appear in two expansions, The Flesh and The Devil, as well as the bonus chapter The Book of the Hybrids. Find out more on the Boardgamegeek website: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/175254/apocrypha-adventure-card-game-box-one-the-world And Lord of Vegas: The Lords of Vegas 6-player base set is a new printing of the classic board game, expanded to support 2-6 players and including modernized graphic designs, plus all of the components from the Up! expansion. In Lords of Vegas you start out with empty lots, build small casinos, and expand them as your bankroll grows. Your rivals can build next door, and they just might take you over with a clever paint job or a lucky roll of the dice. Buy, sell, trade, and gamble your way to the top as you build your empire along the storied Strip. Channel your inner casino mogul and build your piece of Paradise! This new edition from the creators of the game features redesigned money, cards, tray, and more. All the rules and components are functionally the same as the classic edition, just with a fresh coat of paint in some cases. The new Lords of Vegas includes updated components and the 5 & 6-player expansion Up!, which lets players build their casinos in three dimensions, adding new stories as their towers compete for control of the sky. Here are some improvements in the new edition. -Plays with 2-6 players. -Contains 72 dice! -Risers and the raise rule are included, at any player count. -Streamlined property cards work seamlessly with Vegas, as well as the expansion boards for Americana. -More reference cards with turn orders, replacing the less useful House and Player cards. -Turn order has been streamlined based on years of player feedback.

Cat and the Tower from ArcLight how to play interview at Spiel 2024
"Hang on Mama, I'm on my way!" Toto the black cat said, skittering towards the lopsided tower looming before him. Find out more on the Boardgamegeek website: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/424751/cat-and-the-tower Having been told that his mother left the world of the living to become a star in the sky, Toto and the rest of his feline friends bound unwaveringly for the top of the tower in the hopes to meet her again. In Cat and the Tower, you will work together with other players to help Toto the cat on his way up a perilous tower to reach the stars, where he believes his mother is waiting for him. Each turn will have you choosing options from the cards available to either build the tower ever higher, or testing how steady you can keep your hand by performing dexterity challenges that will help Toto climb up higher to his destination. It is up to you and the other players to build the tower yourself, which will require a constant balancing act of mismatched walls and moving Feline Friends. Depending on the luck of the draw, you may be stuck with options forcing you to build with walls of extremely varying height that can send the entire tower toppling over if you are not careful. Toto’s Feline Friends will also come along for the adventure, and their presence can both help and hinder you. Adjusting their location will let you rebalance the tower, but they may also end up in inconvenient spots that get in the way of you placing walls to build new floors. When Toto sees his friends making it to the floor above him, it gives him the bravery needed to climb up higher and higher himself. The game may start off seemingly easy, but you will soon find that it is unsurprising to see the tower fall apart once you start building from the 5th floor and beyond. Build up the tower, place the Feline Friends and get Toto to reach his goal to win the game! If you get Toto to the 10th floor, you clear the first stage and get to see more of Toto’s story as he journeys to reunite with his mother. The challenge doesn’t end there, however. If Toto wants to reach the stars, he will have to reach heights that seem almost impossible, but with your help he can surely do it! Cat and the Tower has cute cats, engaging gameplay, and a storyline that will tear at your heartstrings and leave you giving it your all to help Toto complete his adventure.

Episode 19 – Part 3: Jonathan Rowe and Through the Hedgerow. The world.
The third and last past of this episode is all about the world, time travelling and how characters can belong in different ages and eras.
Through the Hedgerow is a fantasy roleplaying game of hope and heroism in which gifted mortals and Fay creatures fight across time in an eternal battle for the soul of the countryside.
Find out more on the Osprey Games website: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/through-the-hedgerow-9781472856111/
Through the Hedgerow is a fantasy roleplaying game of time travel and supernatural adventure set in the hidden world of the countryside. As Knights of the Briar Company, you are Champions of the Light, charged with protecting the soul and magic of the land against the agents of the Dark, who seek only destruction and chaos. This eternal battle is fought throughout history, from the war-torn Dark Ages and 17th Century to the upheaval of the Industrial Revolution and World War Two. As one of the Fay – sorcerous birds, animated scarecrows, intelligent spiders, and other beings – you may be sworn to defend humanity. Or, as a mortal marked by destiny and plucked from your own time, you might be caught up in this struggle. One way or another, you must step through the hedgerow to face the Darkness…
Through the Hedgerow uses an innovative Checks & Challenges system that encourages players to contribute to the unfolding narrative, and which makes wits, imagination, charm, and mysticism as important to overcoming problems as combat. Seek out powerful magical treasures, safeguard legendary locations, and outwit and outfight the servants of the Dark – wicked Fay lords, fanatical witch hunters, scheming hags, and the brooding Raven Margrave whose undead hordes bring death to the land…

Find out more about the game here: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/us/terror-beneath-9781472858399/ Description
An investigative roleplaying game of horrors both ancient and modern, inspired by the works of Arthur Machen and powered by the GUMSHOE system.Britain at the dawn of the 20th century.

Ep. 14 Part 4: Darwinauts review
Darwinauts review
Congratulations! After decades of hard work, scientists have opened a portal to another dimension filled with alien life. You are one of the few brave enough to venture into this exciting but dangerous new land to research and record new species. The world watches to see the discoveries that will be uncovered. The media has dubbed you and your comrades "The Darwinauts" for daring to go beyond to record the new origins of species. You must work quickly to bring back records of the most exotic lifeforms to secure your place in history, but be careful, the portal is unstable and won't remain open for long... The Rift is coming!
During the course of Darwinauts, a player takes two actions on their turn, selecting from five possible actions: place an explorer, place a tile, replenish tiles and remove explorers, discover a species, and record a species. When recording a species, a player immediately takes one of five possible bonus actions that allow the player to set themselves up for future turns or alter the landscape. Players continue to take turns until The Rift tile is revealed, making the portal to the new world unstable. Once The Rift begins, players add an additional phase to their turns, taking part in dismantling the landscape they have opened up for exploration. The game comes to a close as they race to complete their tasks and return home. When the game ends, players receive prestige points for their recorded species and bonuses are earned for spe

About us:
Paco and Martin are a couple who love playing games and recording videos about them. Paco has been playing RPGs since he discovered Dragonlance in 1984 and found his love for Boardgames in 2007. He’s an avid reader and has a very keen interest in gaming and the people who make them.
Martin is a chartered surveyor who just loves media production. He is in charge of all the editing and the technology we use in our Spain-based studio.
