Chris Allen has written, edited, and designed dozens of tabletop gaming products since 2005, including roleplaying games, board games, and miniatures games, and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. He has contributed to major game lines such as the World of Darkness and Trinity Continuum, and worked on licensed tie-ins for a broad spectrum of properties including Starship Troopers, Babylon 5, and 2000AD.His design work extends to live action roleplaying, where he served on the plot team for the major UK fest LARP, Empire, for several years. Chris is also a published short fiction author and is currently writing a tie-in novella for Trinity Continuum: Æon.Chris believes that tabletop games, albeit played increasingly via virtual tabletops, provide an important creative outlet for their participants and a different method of interacting with the resulting in-the-moment fiction to that traditionally provided by other forms of story media.Chris was born in Thailand, but these days lives in Bristol with his wife and two children.In this episode, we go deep into:How Chris got started with roleplaying and how that led to storytelling and writingTransitioning to writing and publishing in the games industryChris's background as an editorWriting for licensed properties, such as Starship Troopers and Babylon 5Working in someone else's sandpitThe limitations of using stills from TV as artwork for licensed gamesSkirting burnout and reduced enjoyment for certain intellectual properties – draining the magicCoping with fan reactionsCreating products to enable other people to create fanfiction and the layers of storytelling from game designer, to games master, to players, to game fictionCollaboration at the production end of games designSetting or mechanics first and how this variesThe effect of being a gamer and a games writer and the feedback loop createdThe bleed effect when people get very into their charactersGamers intentionally seek out dark themes as a form of catharsis and the importance of consent and safety toolsWriting for live action roleplaying gamesChris's writing process for his fictionChris answers a question from patron, Jo about managing his workloadConnect with Chris:On Twitter: @AcrozatarimHis Very Angry Dogs game is streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/paleo_gaming/videos/allGet more from Great Writers Share!https://www.danielwillcocks.com/merch/gwshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/greatwritersshare/ GWS Press books:Collaboration for Authors: https://books2read.com/u/3G2jLnSpecial thanks to:Intro vocals: Persephone RoseShow theme: Karl HughesBecome a Patron of the show!

Featuring talks from Narrative Designers and games writers from all over the world, Crafting Intangibles brings them together to share knowledge about how to write better for games and interactive experiences. Christy also shared with us what it takes to unite gameplay mechanics and storytelling in perfect harmony. We also talked remakes and remasters. With so many titles coming back from the dead with a shiny new coat of paint such as Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, the rerelease train does not look to be stopping any time soon. Are the massive profits that these games rake in taking away the incentive for publishers to take a chance on new IPs?

Jim Ryan, friend of the show and currently residing in Charlotte, NC joins Tales from the Fandom for its 41st episode. Jim and I met while joining a new Dungeons and Dragons game held in a church conference room and ever since then, things have never been the same. We jump in head first with a conversation about the Sci-Fi comedy series Red Dwarf.  I had heard about it when I was younger but never knew anything about the series.  That is until this day! After Red Dwarf, we shift genres to westerns and the HBO series Deadwood.  Jim gives a great overview on the series and characters while we reminisce about Westerns and the lost Pirate genres of our youth. Roleplaying games take the next portion of the episode, where Jim talks about how he got into RPG's and some of his favorite games like Amber diceless, Deadlands and Fiasco. Jim then talks about his writing and podcasts and where you can follow his work.
