Zane runs through his experience running a game in a new area, recruiting players, designing his first game, refining his games, helping friends design their own games, running games at work and converting a game from 30 to 200 players. Zane is one of the most open and helpful people you could ever hope to meet and his insight in to design is really interesting, so if you're looking for help on your own game, he would love to talk to you about it.LinksVery Large Huge GamesVLHG Newsletter Sign upDiversionary GamesDiversionary Games - FacebookSouthampton Megagames - FacebookMegagame Organizer Mentor ProgramMegagame CoalitionContact Page for Megagame CoalitionGoogle form for GenCon Submissions

How many players should a game include?On today's episode we'll answer the question “How many players should a game include?” Playing games often means playing with other people.

Harrison talks Tony from the Dukes of Highlands who runs us through his journey of Megagaming, from attending his first game, to running his first game to designing his first game.Tony talks in details about some of the issues he faced, like setting up a Megagame group in an area where there have been no Megagames before, running a game at a con and how to run a game you haven't played, going only from the rule book. It's a really interesting chat that covers topics many people may be struggling with as they try and get Megagames established in their local area. Tony also talks about the Megagame Coalition's mentorship program, a network of experienced game runners who can help you with setting up and running games.LinksThe Dukes of HighlandMegagame Coalition

What are Megagames?On today's episode we'll answer the question: “What are Megagames?”Most people have played games at some point in their lives. They can be table top games, card games, board games, playground games, video games, console games, or computer games. Most people have likely played hard games, easy games, social games, or abstract games. Mostly we've played fun games. But we've probably also played lousy games.If you liked this episode please consider commenting, sharing, and subscribing.Subscribing is absolutely free and ensures that you'll get the next episode of Experience Points delivered directly to you.I'd also love it if you took some time to rate the show!I live to lift others with learning.  So, if you found this episode useful, consider sharing it with someone who could benefit.Also make sure to visit University XP online at www.universityxp.comUniversity XP is also on Twitter @University_XP and on Facebook and LinkedIn as University XPAlso, feel free to email me anytime at dave@universityxp.comGame on!Get the full transcript and references for this episode here: https://www.universityxp.com/podcast/65Support the show

Saludetes de nuevo, hoy toca un juego que seguramente todo fan de la MegaDrive lo ha tenido (por aquello de venir en el MegaGames 1) y creo que merece por todo lo alto un soundcast en su honor.

John Mizon runs South West Megagames, a full-time endeavour that aims to bring megagaming to the South-West of the UK (and sometimes beyond). Megagames are still a surprisingly niche hobby, which have started to see more mainstream appeal in the last few years after a Shut Up & Sit Down video brought many new eyes to the genre. These games are massive day-long experiences that blend roleplaying, board game-style mechanics, social gameplay and model-UN style simulation to a venue filled with anywhere from 30 to 300 players. Though the themes of games can range from sci-fi colony planets all the way to medieval courts, the unifying feature is simulating a massive, confusing crisis or conflict, and seeing how the existing structures and factions deal with the challenges of information and communication that the situation brings.

This month Matt and Harrison are joined by Patrick Doyle from Sydney Megagames who discusses how he first got in to Megagames, first set up Sydney Megagames and talks about his past and future games.

Mark joins us from the Shelfie community to talk about a truly unique gaming experience at Gen Con, Megagames! These are 50-70 person games that took place at Lucas Oil Stadium, on the field. They are asymmetric games. Lots of players are doing different things and their actions influence the game for other groups and individuals in the most engaging and fascinating way we've ever heard. Mark clearly loved it as he played and helped run several games this year. Impressive, given this was his first time at Gen Con and his first time playing a megagame. These tend to be longer games, at four hours or more, and run in the tens of dollars to play. But, to hear Mark tell it, they're also dynamic and interesting. Apparently, megagames are huge in Europe as well, so lots of opportunities to play these games. Another great episode from our community! If any other Shelfie ever wants to come on the show do what Mark just did. Find us on social media and tell us about and an awesome game you played!     We have merchandise now!

This week, in the Dungeonmaster's basement, we talk about the gamemastering projects we're currently working on. Keith talks about writing the world around his dating sim, Matthew talks about roping new players into the terrifying world of CoC, and Dani mentions a new campaign with details too secret to discuss. Then, we talk about megagames. What are those? Well, they're like games, but bigger. We discuss a LARP-based megagame that Dani is developing, and the implications of bringing such a huge project to fruition. Is it weird that we're doing an entire episode about things that most of our audience will likely never experience? Probably.

Question of the Geek:  Next week, we'll be discussing how despite the fact that the genre of the Western is relatively dead, it has been repurposed in nearly every other genre of fiction.

Or what is a western that you think has been particularly influential and needs more attention? Why? Leave your answer as a comment on the page for this episode at forall.libsyn.com.
