Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last, where we talk about news, you've already heard.I am a big fan of James Bond. I remember as a kid watching Dr. No on television and it blew my mind. Starting with Moonraker, I saw every James Bond film in the movie theater until the last one, No Time To Die. And while some were good, some were great, and some were just flat out bad, I didn't care. I loved them all…well except the last one, that was hot garbage.I read all the books, and bought and played the James Bond Roleplaying Game.So, you would think that I would be excited to hear that the Broccoli family has turned over control of the James Bond Franchise to Amazon.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/james-bond-amazon-mgm-deal-michael-wilson-barbara-broccoli-007/You would be wrong.I am terrified. Don't get me wrong. Amazon has put out some solid shows from Man in the High Castle, to Reacher, to the first season of The Boys.But recently we have had Rings of Power, and Wheel of Time, and yes, the last couple of seasons of The Boys to showcase the absolute shit they are willing to push upon their viewers.So, I am scared that they are gonna do 007 wrong.Mike, what do you think?[Kick to Mike]We love it when you mix TTRPG games with Computer Games and vice versa.In recent news Streetlight Studios has announced a new computer roleplaying game “Moondrift Memory; Prologue” and they say it will use the Pathfinder 2E rules set for the game.https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2025/02/moondrift-memory-prologue-promises-pathfinder-2e-mechanics-in-a-video-game-setting.htmlI like this news because it wasn't D&D. It is also a little interesting because it doesn't look to use Pathfinder's campaign setting Golarian, but seems to be its own thing. What do think about this one Mike?[Kick to Mike]And there you have it, All the news, you've already heard.

Robert Houghton, "The Middle Ages in Computer Games: Ludic Approaches to the Medieval and Medievalism" (Boydell & Brewer, 2024)

Games with a medieval setting are commercially lucrative and reach a truly massive audience. Moreover, they can engage their players in a manner that is not only different, but in certain aspects, more profound than traditional literary or cinematic forms of medievalism. However, although it is important to understand the versions of the Middle Ages presented by these games, how players engage with these medievalist worlds, and why particular representational trends emerge in this most modern medium, there has hitherto been little scholarship devoted to them. The Middle Ages in Computer Games: Ludic Approaches to the Medieval and Medievalism (Boydell & Brewer, 2024) explores the distinct nature of medievalism in digital games across a range of themes, from the portrayal of grotesque yet romantic conflict to conflicting depictions of the Church and religion. It likewise considers the distinctions between medievalist games and those of other periods, underlining their emphasis on fantasy, roleplay and hardcore elements, and their consequences for depictions of morality, race, gender and sexuality. Ultimately the book argues that while medievalist games are thoroughly influenced by medievalist and ludic tropes, they are nonetheless representative of a distinct new form of medievalism. It engages with the vast literature surrounding historical game studies, game design, and medievalism, and considers hundreds of games from across genres, from Assassin's Creed and Baldur's Gate to Crusader Kings and The Witcher series. In doing so, it provides a vital illustration of the state of the field and a cornerstone for future research and teaching. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design at the IU International University for Applied Science, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

If you loved football management games, this episode is a must-listen. That's because we got to speak with the man who pretty much invented the genre, Kevin Toms. He's the developer of Football Manager, the 1980s series of games that started the whole thing. Since you can also now play Kevin Toms' Football Manager on your mobile, we thought it would be a great excuse to find out the story behind the original games, and why they've returned.

     In this Episode Saul and Jolene talk about making a RPG from a computer game.  This was from a question that Saul read online about a father that wanted to make a RPG for his kids that played Destiny 2.  Saul thought he recognized the game and even thought he had the older computer game but he was thinking of Mass Effect 2.  Still Jolene and Saul discussed the trials and tribulations of making your own RPG.        It has been Saul's belief that making your own game would be a big work and time investment.  But a few years ago he saw the show Carnival Row.  He even downloaded a free version that used the Cypher System from Monte Cook Games.  It had a lot of the lore and art from the show but Saul didn't like the Cypher System for this game.  He set to port it to Free Leagues Year Zero Engine.  This was before Free League put out their SRD or their version of the OGL.         And just a couple of months ago Saul wrote up another game based on Year Zero about cuddly animals going on adventures in the spirit of The Wind the the Willows, Watership Down,  Books by Brian Jacques.  Saul wrote it in one day and with a bit of adjustments he made a playable game where he ran two separate adventures.      So it can be done.  Saul and Jolene also talk about writing a RPG with a big IP and whether its worth trying to publish such a RPG game.            Thank you all for Listening      Web Art by Jim Foster      Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones     Music by Soul Understated, song Gonna Make It,  off the album Unreleased      Available from Tribeofnoise.com     Used Under the Creative Commons License 3.0     https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

The Star Wars universe gets a lot of attention for its lightsabers, space battles, and witty droids. But over the decades, a rich lore has developed around its history and politics. Dr. Chris Kempshall researches and writes at the intersection of real-world history, with a focus on the First World War, and the Star Wars universe. His books include The History and Politics of Star Wars, which analyzes various aspects of Star Wars compared to our world, and Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, an examination of the Empire from the perspective of an in-universe historian.
