Saul and Jolene were discussing how would a GM Desiminate Information about their RPG Setting. Especially when the lore is vast and deep. Saul and Jolene came up with various methods and things to consider what a GM can do to make the "Info Dump" not only be easier but actually work. Saul used Bethorm rules written by Jeff Dee, for running his Sakbe Road to Redemption game set in the world of Tekumel Thank you all for Listening Web Art by Jim Foster Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones Music by Ant America, song The Information Available from Tribeofnoise.com Used Under the Creative Commons License 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
How does a non-profit like Habitat for Humanity do such incredible work to provide affordable housing to families? Through its volunteers, donations, and the money raise through its awesome ReStore thrift shops sales, of course! This week I sat down with Jeff Dee, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Metro (the local affiliate here in Maryland, DC, and Virginia) to talk about how Habitat for Humanity got started, how they design their homes for maximum efficiency, how it selects families to buy a Habitat home, the nurturing provided for these homebuyers, why volunteers are the lifeblood of this non-profit, and how and why you should consider volunteering with Habitat (even if you have no building experience).

This episode came about from Saul reading a Facebook post about Storytelling and Railroading. As gamers we all know the terms railroad and storytelling but Jeff Dee an artist and RPG author posted that he did not think "Storytelling" was an approbiate term for "Roleplaying". As usual a large group of people responded with their ideas and that discussion lead to this episode. Saul and Jolene discuss the ideas of why someone would not consider the term "storytelling" a good term for what roleplaying is all about or a goal we as gamers try to achieve. Though we have covered both these topics it was interesting enough for Jolene and Saul to discuss and make an episode. As always thank you all for listening. All we ask is that you share our podcast with your gaming friends. Web Art by Jim Foster Episdoe Art by Michael Shean-Jones Music by Railbird, song Born on the Railroad, off the album Railbird
This topic comes from Jolene reading RPG forum and Redit posts. Jolene asked Saul if there were any published RPGs and Saul actually had one RPG in his collection and almost Kickstarted two prehistoric RPGs. They talked about the subject and decided to do an episode on this very interesting RPG topic. The three games discussed are Paleo Mythic by Osprey Publishing, Wurm from Choasium and Cavemaster by Jeff Dee. Saul found a D&D 5th Edition setting book called Planegea on Kickstarter that is a fantasy pre-historic setting. Here is the link if you want to check it out. : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasgames/planegea?ref=recommendation-no-result-discoverpage-8 Thanks for listening and please share our podcast.

In this episode we discuss our usual Traveller stuff, including some internet finds, rules we wanted to talk about from Classic Traveller, and of course start off with the SAFCO Mail Bag! This is long one, folks, but we did stay on-topic! There's just so much cool stuff out there to discuss! Then we talk about something a little different, Session Zero of our upcoming superhero campaign, called SuperTex, using the legendary Jeff Dee's and Jack Herman's The Mighty Protectors: Villains & Vigilantes 3.0 system. We'll be playing it maybe every three sessions, and will also play it when our whole SAFCO Traveller group can't meet.

Happy Halloween Fudge Fans!This isn’t a “Halloween Special” as such, this is just my attempt to get something out there before the lack of inertia feels so overwhelming that I just let the show podfade.In this episode I wanted to discuss some ideas Jeff Dee has brought up over on his face book. He’s narrowed down his niche, as a gamer and game designer, to TableTop Immersive Simulation Games or TTISG. I thought that was a great chance to discuss owning up to narrative mechanics in your games rather than attaching them onto an otherwise TTISG and breaking immersion.Going forward I’ll probably be in the Fudge Bar on Discord.Plusorminus.xyz Saturday nights at 9 pm PST to chat about fudge, run/play pickup games, and maybe even do some Q & A. I’m especially interested in pickup fudge games though, I need to game more.If you aren’t already doing so, please follow me on whatever social networks you use. I have ~60 listeners and I’d really like to be more engaged with you guys and gals and small furry creatures from alpha centauri.

In the late 1970s, while Jeff Dee was still a teenager, he co-created Villains and Vigilantes, which was the first complete superhero role-playing game. In 1997, with his partner ‘Manda, he founded UNIgames, a publisher of role-playing, board games and computer games. In 2009, he also co-founded Nemesis Games, which is the developer of an online game called Gargantua. In addition to his artistic and game-related work, Jeff is an outspoken atheist and transhumanist. He has been the host of a bi-weekly Internet podcast called The Non-Prophets and a former host of a live, weekly, public-access television program, called The Atheist Experience. We were delighted to speak with Jeff about all of these issues and much more!
