The world of tabletop role-playing games is much broader than Dungeons & Dragons, and there's been a boom of DIY tabletop RPGs in the last decade. But as new players are coming on to the scene, they're asking new questions about what defines a game, and what might be problematic about classic tabletop RPGs. Game master Timm Woods explains how new game systems are embracing genre and storytelling down to the moves your characters can make. I talk with independent game designers Emily Care Boss and Avery Alder about how game mechanics can reflect not just the lore of the game, but also social issues and inter-personal social dynamics. Plus, James Mendez Hodes explains how he works at a cultural consultant for game designers, and why orcs might need a makeover. This episode is sponsored by Realm and BetterHelp.

Once again we talk about Aliens, but Eppy does a good job of linking the lineage of Aliens to video games to Edge of Tomorrow.  And somehow we wrap It's a Wonderful Life into it as well. We discuss some ideas for including time looping into Role Playing Games including one that was written by Eppy called Time and Temp and an un-named project in the works from his wife, also a successful indie game designer, Emily Care Boss

Emily Care Boss is the brilliant designer of games like The Romance Trilogy, and Bubblegumshoe. With Ben Riggs, she chews over game theory, her career, and how Ars Magica may have directly inspired some of the most important indie designers of the 21st century. Then, in a brief chat, Ben talks to Wizards of the Coast founder and Gen Con owner Peter Adkison about what quality may have led to his tremendously successful career in games.  Ben’s book on RPG adventure design, Encounter Theory, is on DriveThruRPG. Click here to pick up this essential volume! Like Plot Points? Support it on Patreon at the $2 level, and you’ll get a sneak peek into Ben’s book about the sale of TSR to Wizards of the Coast! This chapter concerns TSR West, an effort by TSR to open an LA office devoted to producing comic books, an effort that failed rather impressively. It is the product of a dozen interviews with professionals from comics, gaming, and Hollywood, and as far as I can reckon, it is a tale entirely untold until now.  Image courtesy Evil Hat Productions.

To celebrate our 60th episode, Nathan and Eppy are joined again by Emily Care Boss to talk about the fourth 90s Rockford Files Movie - Godfather Knows Best. But that's not all! We recorded this episode live as we watched the movie, all together in the same place! You can hear us hypothesize the twists and turns of this David Chase-penned script as Jim tries to help his godson, Becker's son Scott, out of trouble. We really had a great time, and came away feeling that this was the strongest of the movies so far. We hope you enjoy this change of pace for our show!

     Romance in RPGs, Saul and Jolene talk about why this has not happened much in their games at home.  Romance can add an interesting element to any RPG games.  Jolene finds an RPG specifically about romance.  Actually a trio of rpgs by Emily Care Boss.  This was not the romance in RPGs that Saul was thinking about, Saul was thinking of more of a courtly romance or adding a love interest to a PC character.  Also discussed is romance between players and some pitfalls this might lead to.  Jolene's research yielded some funny and cautionary tales of romance done wrong in games.  All in all if players are mature enough and willing romance in an RPG can add a lot of roleplaying opportunities.      As always, thank you all for listening and please share our podcast with family and friends to help get our podcast to as many listeners as possible.    You can look at and buy Emily Care Boss' romantic rpgs here: http://www.blackgreengames.com/shop/romancetrilogy        Music by Pianochocolate, song Romance, off the album Blueberry.      Available from FreeMusicArchive.com       http://www.blackgreengames.com/shop/romancetrilogy
