Wir versuchen natürlich immer unseren Rollenspielhorizont zu erweitern und heute hat Philipp für uns ein System mitgebracht, das sich im Besonderen auf die dramaturgischen Beziehungen zwischen den Charakteren bezieht: DramaSystem. Wir denken, dass die Ideen hinter diesem Ansatz auch für DSA interessant sein können. Für alle, die ihre dramatischen Szene konstruktiver spielen wollen, gemeinsam tiefe […]

Happy New Year! Grant and Peter are back to talk about ... dice?! After a couple of minor announcements and housekeeping notes, we list off some of the games we'd really like to try to play in 2017. We also tackle a Patreon question from Jim, who asks us about handling combat in theatre-of-the-mind games (or for visually-impaired gamers, like the Going In Blind podcast.) Our main topic isn't so much about dice as reacting to the dice, and handling the unexpected results they can give us while keeping a consistent narration—even if it leads campaigns in strange and unexpected directions. Games we mentioned wanting to play in 2017: Unknown Armies, 3rd Edition; Pillar of Fire; A Scoundrel in the Deep; Feng Shui, 2nd Edition; Dogs in the Vineyard; DramaSystem; GUMSHOE. Also mentioned: The One Shot Podcast and the Party of One Podcast. Scripture: Proverbs 16:9, Leviticus 16:6-10, Romans 8:28
I'm talking with Tod Foley about his new game Other Borders. A modern-day game of drugs, money and magic in the American southwest. OTHER BORDERS is based on DramaSystem by Robin D. Laws, and influenced by D. Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World engine. http://asifproductions.com/ http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/196002/Other-Borders--Standalone-Edition https://plus.google.com/+AsIfInteractive https://www.patreon.com/asif https://www.facebook.com/asifprods http://fictioneers.net/

We kick off with another film festival wrap-up in the Cinema Hut, this time Ken’s visit to the Chicago International Film Festival. Ask Ken and Robin asks us to contemplate the differences between two of Robin’s game engines, DramaSystem and Skulduggery, leading us to contemplate a broader old saw: does system matter? In the Cartography […]
