Podcast appearances and mentions of ivan van norman

Welcome back, wanderer. Today, we have the pleasure of delving into the art of weaving story into live-action spaces with the multitalented Vince Caso. You may recognize Vince from his iconic role as Bladezz in the beloved web series 'The Guild,' but his talents span a variety of media! As an actor, writer, streamer, voice actor, and seasoned game master, Vince brings a wealth of experience to our conversation. Today's topic is "Weaving Story in Live Action Spaces," and Vince shares not only amazing tidbits of advice and hard-earned experience but also some absolutely amazing stories. I want to note that a couple of times in the interview, I mistakenly called "We're Alive: Frontier" (the brilliant live-play campaign run by Ivan Van Norman) by the name "Still Alive!" (a zombie sourcebook for Monte Cook Game's Cypher System). I apologize for the confusion—I've just been playing too many different zombie systems. Anywhos, grab a seat and join in.

I'm joined once again by John from Double Fox Gaming, but this time, he's bought reinforcements! It's my pleasure to also host Glenn, Matt, and Mike to discuss the legacy of Dungeons & Dragons. The guys take us through five generations of play, and how the wishes of one character can have cascading effects decades later. We hear the epic parable of The Abyss Donkey, which is ultimately a lesson in how gaming can bring us all together, no matter the circumstances. 04:27 - Harn's Legacy 14:27 - Inheriting the Hobby 32:28 - The Abyss Donkey (TM) 51:01 - Maturing Attitudes 57:48 - How the Game has Changed Find John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doublefoxgaming/ Find Thinking Critically online: Website: https://www.thinkingcritically.co.uk Socials: @ThinkCritDnD Dungeons, Dice, & Dudes: https://linktr.ee/DDandD References: 'Ravenloft' episode of Thinking Critically '123s of D&D' by Ivan Van Norman and Wizards RPG Team, ISBN-10: 0786966688 'ABCs of D&D' by Ivan Van Norman and Wizards RPG Team, ISBN-10: 0786966661 Patrons: Tabletop Journeys @ttjourneys: https://ttjourneys.com/ Joe from The Fourth Leg @jcd0818: https://anchor.fm/james-h-anderson Optional Rule @optionalrule: https://www.optionalrule.com/ Matt Street @mpstreet88: https://www.virtualtimehustle.com/ Intro Music: 'Local Forecast' by Kevin MacLeodIntermission Music: 'Chill' by Kevin MacLeodOutro Music: 'Local Forecast - Elevator' by Kevin MacLeod Podcast art by Lily from https://www.facebook.com/beiworkshop

Now that we've survived the Outbreak Undead campaign, it's time to speak with one of its creators, Ivan Van Norman about his inspirations for the game, and about gaming in general.If you'd like to see more about Outbreak Undaed, go to: https://www.huntersentertainment.com/outbreakundeadIf you'd like to learn about the Altered Carbon RPG, check it out at: https://app.crowdox.com/projects/huntersbooks/altered-carbon-the-role-playing-gameIf you'd like to go to our website, go to: https://bandwagongames.com/

In this transhumanist vision of the future, the human mind is nothing more than digital code – Digital Human Freight – saved and stored in a Cortical Stack, advanced technology that allows you to “re-sleeve” your entire consciousness into a new body. You can wear any body you can afford, transmit your mind across the cosmos in an instant, and, if you’ve got the credits and political cachet, you can re-sleeve time and again for centuries, accumulating enough wealth and power over the millennia to become the societal equivalent of an immortal god. Whereas character death is a natural occurrence and ever-present threat in tabletop RPGs, Altered Carbon: The Role Playing Game offers a unique angle on the concept. As opposed to creating a brand new character, players will have the opportunity to transfer their character’s consciousness, memories, and experiences into new Sleeves post-death… but at a cost. ━━━━━━━━━━━

Along the way, I tease the 'Soldier' game I haven't been designing, catch up with Ivan on all things gaming and discuss the additional advantages of running a Kickstarter campaign to gauge product interest and aggregate a loyal following!
