Logan Howard of Swordbreaker sings the opening theme Jason of the Nerd's RPG Variety Podcast says "% under ability" Menion aka Rob of Confessions of a Wee Timorous Bushi says "3d6 or more, roll under ability" Goblin's Henchman talks about the "genius roll" of "3d6 or more, roll under ability" - his blog article is here. Andrew Walter says "x in 6" but considering ability in setting difficulty Daniel of Bandit's Keep says "for things anyone can try, look to other mechanics; for special skills don't allow non-specialized characters to roll" (Quote marks in notes denote my paraphrasing, not actual quotes. Several call-in messages were omitted.) The Viridian Scroll Alex Schroeder of Halberds and Helmets tunes us out.

Promised links: John Oak Dalton, my Itch.io Page, where you will find free games like The Oracle and Sorcerers & Sellswords, Lasers & Feelings, CRGE, Lester Dent's pulp fiction generator in the Thrilling Tales Omnibus. 

Through the Valley of the Manticore KS. Not a Place of Honor. La Planète Sauvage. Opening closing jingles by Alex Schroeder of Halberds & Helmets.

A review of Carcass Crawler issue 1, from Gavin Norman's Old School Essentials line. Opening jingle by Alex Schroeder of the Halberds & Helmets podcast

Karl of The GMologist Presents calls us about Rush. I talk about their Hemispheres and 2112 albums, as well as the songs Rivendell and The Trees. I talk about hermeneutics, and Noam Chomsky on extensibility, and definitions of role-playing that appear in Peterson's Playing at the World and Elusive Shift books. I also visited some sequoias recently! 

Cinema Strangiato (the Rush "movie" I mentioned), the Hindsightless podcast with Joe Richter, Robservations with Rob Liefeld.

This week I'm having a look at Codex R by Roque Romero and Eric K. Hill. Also mentioned: Fantastic Planet and Itras By. Chiptune by Alex Schroeder of the Halberds & Helmets podcast.

Looking at In the Shadow of Tower Silver Axe with Evil Jeff of the Minions and Musings podcast. Chiptune by Alex Schroeder of the Halberds & Helmets podcast.

Guest is Jason from the Nerd's RPG Variety Podcast. Chiptune by Alex Schroeder of the Halberds & Helmets podcast.

Hex Drive by Micah Anderson is available at Rook's Press or as a PDF through itch.io. Opening jingle by Alex Schroeder of the Halberds & Helmets podcast. 

• SIEGE: Pocket Warfare, a modular battle-defense system to use with your RPGs created by BiteSizedGaming • Co-host Jason from the Nerd's RPG Variety Podcast. • Chiptune by Alex Schroeder of the Halberds & Helmets podcast.

I talk about over and under "grounding" fiction in role-playing. I also shill two amazing podcast episodes, Daydreaming About Dragons 69 and Spikepit 333. 

I'm back after a hiatus, partly thanks to a challenge thrown out there by Judd Karlman of Daydreaming About Dragons. I'm rolling a d20 for topics this season. Today is #12, one submitted by (I think) Logan Howard of Swordbreaker: If you were tasked with training players for greatness, what steps would you take? In response I talk about developing self-awareness through a player inventory. (Partly inspired by Rob C's confessional on Down in a Heap.) I then talk about developing a table awareness and finally putting in the hours at the table.

This is a test of the Plundergrounds podcast system

This episode features some great call ins from Judd of Daydreaming About Dragons and Joe of the Hindsightless podcasts. I spend a bit of time talking about engaging with fiction and projecting one's self into fictional worlds. Then Barney of Loco Ludus calls in to talk Kriegsspiel and cultural stereotypes. I mention Playing At the World, an amazing Kriegsspiel table, David Wesley, the Bruanstein game, Strategos.

Part 1: thoughts on adjudicating in-game effects literally or adjusting them to the fiction. Part 2: thoughts on the Free Kriegspiel Revolution. Stuff mentioned: Old School Essentials, The Glatisant. 

Readings from the foreword to The Best of Science Fiction, an anthology from 1946. Edited by Groff Conklin, published by Crown.

JJ and I talk about character arcs from generation to transformation. The context is a 12 session campaign of the Marvel Superhero Adventure Game with 1 GM and 4 players. We cover topics like card-based mechanics, "comic book frame narrative," switching gears from physical to digital play, fictional positioning, super hero style transformations, etc.

I give an overview of Jack Kirby's Eternals as an RPG setting. Kirby's Kids, The Eternals by Jack Kirby, The Eternals by Neil Gaiman, New Gods by Jack Kirby, Chariots of the Gods by Erich Von Daniken.

The last five words of #RPGaDay2020: Favour, Close, Ride, Portal, Experience. Things mentioned: Old School Essentials, D&D 5e, Marvel Superhero Adventure Game, Rakka's Raiders (in the Plundergrounds Zine bundle), Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Dungeon World. 

An interesting idea I had, and a kind of fun mini-game, for generating old school D&D stats. Also a bit of life advice about not feeding negativity.

Stream-of-consciousness riffing on the words Rare, Edge, Humor, Lever, and Strange. Things mentioned: Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Over the Edge, The Great Slow Kings by Roger Zelazny.

Call-ins from Evil Jeff of Minions and Musings and Jason of the Nerd's RPG Variety Podcast. Milestone XP in Old School Essentials (episode, spreadsheet). Cultural touchstones; Judd on "knife fights in space." Sorcerers & Sellswords. Tiger and Del. Spikepit, Puddleglum, Innsmouth Look, Mike Myers' Canada. Polaris by Ben Lehman. 

The who, what, when, where, and why of framing scenes. Giving dramatic moments space. Finding comfort in rpg prep. Getting past the "meet at the inn" moment. The mythical nature of towers. Clues for investigation shouldn't be subtle, and sometimes it's fun to investigate without purpose. Push was a cool movie and I wrote a game about it that worked on the "loner" character problem. Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came! Librivox - etext. 

#RPGaDay2020 continues. Sorry about the audio issues! Shade - don't throw it! Light - Safer Fantasy Crafting says 'rules light is both Kindergarten and Ph.D. role-playing.' Want - to not want! Old School Essentials Advanced and Dicey Times. Stack - people like to stack things, designs should give gamers things to stack. Messages - leave your characters meaningful in-world messages! Rest - is unsatisfying if it is simply a reset mechanic. Make them into scenes? Banner - people love to show their allegiances, so characters/NPCs in game worlds should have lots of banners, badges of office, patches, etc. Gygax 75 challenge podcasts and booklet.  

I'm a big fat cheater when it comes to the #RPGaDay2020 challenge. Though I'm supposed to talk about one word each day, I instead lump them all together for the week. So here are the first seven words. I talk about "Beginning" a lot, and then do quick hits on the other six: change, thread, vision, tribute, forest, couple. Opening clip is from the movie Dune. Games mentioned: Ogre, Melee, Wizard, Death Test, D&D Holmes Basic, Traveller, Oracle, Prime Time Adventures, Microscope. Other stuff: Star Wars: A New Hope, Lord of the Rings, the Science Fiction Book Club, A Wizard of Earthsea, The Dragonriders of Pern, Midnight's Lair (defunct podcast), Merlin, Aladdin's Castle, Alien (movie), TI-994a. My free games are found at rayotus.itch.io. 

In this episode I talk about using milestone XP in OSE D&D without losing the particular feel of the different speeds of class progression. The referenced spreadsheet is available in the notes for this show. Call-ins are from Jason of the Nerds RPG Variety Podcast, John Alan Large of RDDRPG, Paul Unslaked of the OtakuGeneration podcast, and Lieren from Updates from the Middle of Nowhere. Call-in topics are spell books, Collaborative NPCs, GM crash, The Score - a WIP PbtA game about anime sports. Games mentioned Old School Essentials, Holmes Basic D&D, My Life with Master, Misspent Youth, The Score (not yet available).

I talk with Colin Green of the Spikepit podcast about Sorcerers & Sellswords (a hack of John Harper's Lasers & Feelings). Show notes at plundergrounds.com. 

Do you really know the rules, or do you just think you do? In this episode I talk about the value of revisiting rulebooks after actual play to focus one's understanding of the game you are playing. John Alan Large of the Red Dice Diaries podcast gets me started by calling in to talk Old School Essentials. 

I imagine the spell Fog Hammer and talk about The Ghost City, a setting-within-a-setting for my Old School Essentials game. I mention Ramanan's character generator for Ben Milton's Maze Rats, Jonathan Harper's Ghost/Echo, China Mieville's The City & The City, Fred Hicks' Don't Rest Your Head, Itras By, and H. G. Wells' The Door in the Wall. Encounter table at www.plundergrounds.com.
