This year we had the opportunity to partner with him to get some signage up, boost the RPG turnout at Pax South and provide a ton of giveaways from R. Talsorian Games, and Hot Springs Island! RPGs at Pax South grew a ton this year and are poised to go even bigger in 2021. We are so excited to be invited on this ride and hear some great insights on how PAX South differs from other PAX conventions.Also, there was a San Antonio Spurs (basketball) game going on... merchandise Link!

Godbound is an OSR game of divine heroes. In this game, we will briefly explore Hot Springs Island using this system. Content Warnings may vary, so we will have a tone discussion during play. Regardless, Lines and Veils, the X-Card, and the Open Door Policy will be in effect. We will abide by the Gauntlet Inclusivity Policy.
We sit down with Hot Springs Island designers Jacob Hurst, Donnie Garcia, and Silent Titans artist Dirk Leichty. We geek out about tabletop games, printing and books, artwork, Google plus and more. Silent Titans and Hot Springs Island can be found at Swordfish Islands. Twitter @justonemorefix Facebook Just One More Fix Podcast Support us on Patreon Gonna Geek Network
A talk with the oracle of the OSR! Jacob Hurst won an ENnie for his work on Hot Springs Island, which you can check out here. Ben & Jacob talk about his current projects, and the creation of Hot Springs! Ben's book on RPG theory is finally available for purchase! Check it out here! If you are a Patreon backer, and you buy a copy of the book before 12 PM CST Saturday, June 8th, Ben will review the product of your choice on Plot Points! 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.

After four sessions of Hot Springs Island, James and Lacey look at the highlights of exploration gaming and hex crawls. Are player aids like the Field Guide the key to drawing in players who might not be interested or is it just an unnecessary fancy add on to the game? Several other ideas spin off from the discussion, relating the hex crawl philosophy to other games, creating Field Guides for your own games, and Investigations as hex crawl.

9 minutes of actual Hot Springs Island play, followed by GG NO RE: UNPLUGGED. We talk about what we actually are looking for when playing and running RPGs, what effect the DM's investment in the setting has on the game, using Coggle with investigative games, creating dungeons map-last instead of map-first, shots fired about the utility of unstocked maps, designing for emergent gameplay vs designing something inherently engaging with emergent gameplay a bonus feature, and old multiplayer games. Enjoy, if you can. Show notes: https://ggnorecast.com/121.
