Happy Monday, Fabulous Listener! Hope you are all having an amazing Monday evening. Getting back from a fabulous convention in Savannah to share an incredible podcast. This evening I'm honored to have with us the talented Mr. Russell Zimmerman. We are having a very candid conversation about getting into the world of writing for role-playing games. You are going to have a blast listening to Russell, and his advice will leave you inspired. Russell 'Rusty' Zimmerman is a freelance writer in the role-playing game, wargame, and video game industries. Originally from California, he now resides in Texas, where he has written the PC game Satellite Reign, and tie-in fiction, sourcebooks, or both, for Mutants and Masterminds, Vampire The Masquerade, Earthdawn, Gangs of the Undercity, and more. He is primarily known for his work within the Shadowrun universe, with fan favorite characters like Dash and Jimmy Kincaid. Rusty has seen several short stories for BattleTech released in Shrapnel magazine, and has a serial fiction and novels in the pipeline. Most recently, he began writing for the Black Library, creating short fiction set in the Warhammer 40k universe. Rusty is slowly but surely gathering the powers of every role-playing game and video game setting he loves. He's getting too strong! He must be stopped! (We are totally kidding!) We can't Seriously to see what other fabulous adventures Rusty develops. Thank you for joining us this evening. Always a pleasure bringing you new books from incredible authors. If you are enjoying the podcast and would like to stay in touch, subscribe. You don't want to miss a single episode. Happy Listening, DC

* Player character death. * Reminder: Tastes and desires on what a player wants from a game can vary! * Most problems arise from a difference in expectations between the players and GM. * Story about Josh's friend Doug and his approach to his characters. * Players who strongly identify with their characters can dislike having their story “cut short”. * A brief sidebar about gamemasters fudging dice results. * Leaving the “training wheels on” – how long before death becomes a legitimate stake? * “Sliders” – the degree to which PC death can come into play. * Setting a policy on handling player character death. * Is death permanent?

How might it change them? * Another table tale from Dan about a fight against the “big bad”. * Earthdawn's “lethality curve” and how that shifts as powers come online. * Email from Leamon (part 1): Petty GM on a power trip. * Game tone and setting conceit example: Paranoia. * Character as pawn or game-piece. “Character funnels”. * The Traveler RPG and characters dying before the game even started. * Email from Leamon (part 2): Connection to a character affecting feelings about the game. * Player grief and emotional bleed. * Bringing in a new character, how to create them, and other consequences. * Email from Leamon (part 3): Bringing a character/archetype back for more exploration. * Player introspection and self-discovery resulting from character death.   Find and Follow: Email: edsgpodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeoifzUuBjez9V6wnvzom3g Twitter: @EDSGPodcast Josh on Twitter: @LoreMerchant Get product information, developer blogs, and more at www.fasagames.com FASA Games on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fasagamesinc FASA Games Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/uuVwS9u Earthdawn West Marches: https://discord.gg/hhHDtXW

British author and editor Marc Gascoigne is back to finish off the conversation we were having previously. With over fifty books and gaming-related titles under his belt, Marc is a true veteran in the industry. Best known for his work on the Fighting Fantasy series, Marc has also contributed to some of the biggest names in gaming, including Shadowrun, Earthdawn, Judge Dredd, and Call of Cthulhu. The second half of our conversation is very much what Marc calls a "pub chat" - wandering down some side paths and exploring more esoteric topics. Along the way, he makes sure to set me in my place with his biting, but congenial, British sarcasm. We dig into, amongst other things: Board games and card games, Tips for writers and designers submitting to editors, A bit on the history of fanzines, and specifically DragonLords, The changing landscapes of fiction publishing and game design, Crafting original mythologies, What good can come out of the A.I. frontier (glitch kids?), Marc's thoughts on (and rejection of) my "shared space" theory, and Knowing why you want to be a writer and what you hope to achieve - and making sure that is realistic.

We dig into, amongst other things: Marc's origin story, including what it was like growing up as a gamer in Britain, Coming up as a freelancer in the industry, The various companies he has worked with, The differences between American fantasy and European fantasy, Finding the freshness and avoiding repetition, Making balance in your life while working as an ambitious creative, and The challenges and nuances around creating fiction based on game worlds.

This week we check out a game with a VERY long lifespan as well as a rather unique game engine. While Earthdawn is a lot like a lot of other fantasy roleplaying games, it has several ways in which it's VERY different.

* Email from Anthony: Introducing Earthdawn at a one-shot game night. * Horrors in Depth: Artificer * Not flesh and blood; metallic, covered with wheels, levers, and pulleys. * “Steampunk” Horror. * Background: Elemental spirit summoned by dragons in the previous age and it was corrupted. * Uses Forge Trap power to convert tunnels and caverns into metallic mazes filled with deathtraps. * Provides an Earthdawn-flavored reason for the classic “trap filled labyrinth” trope. * Presence can be felt without it being a focus; converts an area but doesn't really hunt victims. * Inspiration: Grimtooth's Traps * Baits its converted mazes with riches and artifacts it has scavenged to draw people in. * Limited additional powers; just elemental immunities. * Primarily astral entity; difficult to get to it to destroy it. * Can provide an “alien” aesthetic, magitech in a way not usually present in Earthdawn. * Can help get around the need for “realistic” spaces you normally need for kaer design. * Straightforward in its own way, but still unique and interesting. * Ysrthgrathe * Essay supposedly written by someone possessed by the Horror itself. * Josh's favorite entry, likely written by Caroline Spector. * Horror that features in the Immortals trilogy (Scars, Little Treasures, Worlds Without End) * Stereotypical suite of Horror powers and abilities. * Doesn't have a mechanical gimmick, is iconic because of his personality and approach. * Vampire lord, supervillain, suave serial killer. * “Horror of Toxic Masculinity” * Likely to use methods that make its victim feel helpless and isolate them. * Very “human” in its evil, strongly relatable to real-world experiences; abusive, gaslighting. * Targets individuals, especially powerful ones, patiently works to break them. * Has a personal touch; not an impersonal force of nature like Ristul or Verjigorm. * Often uses illusion to charm and manipulate people. Infernal, offering deals and bargains. * Using Ysrthgrathe in a story arc or campaign. * Being careful not to trigger post-traumatic stress or the like in your players.
