The Dwarven Forge concept is directly inspired by [NPC Cast's Campaign Crucibles](https://npccast.wordpress.com/tag/campaign-crucible/). Aviv is on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Icel), [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/IcelDotMe/) and [Vanor Games](http://vanorgames.com/). ### The Three Elements (1:23) Aviv: Invasion Eran: A lucky wheel spin Dassi: Inter-generational conflict ### Themes (2:03) Aviv: A foreign foe, completely beyond our understanding. Eran: We spin the item again and again, to get one of several available outcomes. Dassi: An older generation is stuck in their ways while the new generation try to bring about change. ### What Are the Players Doing? (5:10) [Torg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torg), [Previous dwarven forge](https://dwarves.podiant.co/e/35bb4716dadefc/) Eran: We're the next generation after the original invasion, when the old guard managed to save our world. We're teenagers that do not understand this technologies and the whole situation. Aviv: We're using a reversed engineered technology that we can't fully control, and so it send us to one of a number of random dimensions. The old guard made a deal with the invaders. Dassi: We've found a creature that is important to the balance between dimensions. It's unique. The structure of the universe based around six dimensions and this creature subvert this basis. [XCOM 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCOM_2), [Stranger Things](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_Things), [Sliders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliders) ### People (14:08) Aviv: Evelyn Sharp - Head of a division that look for unauthorized inter-dimensional elements that crossed over to our Earth. The division is part of the Accords, the original agreement that “saved” our world. Dassi: Hubert Harington the 3rd - British politician that is anti-invader, purist. Eran: “Above Bermingham” - An invader, a “leviathan”, a creature 3 km wide, floating above Bermingham. Not sure if it is a person of vehicle. He's in contact with various people, including the group. All the leviathans are “above” things, from Dimension Purple. ### Places (21:28) Aviv: A lab located at the site of the “burst” from Dimension Blue, where giant tendrils came from the sky and borrowed into the earth. In Herefordshire. Eran: The shed in Dimension Yellow, the place we're translocated to when we travel to this dimension. An old, abandoned building, in an area that looks “eastern european” with strange wilderness. Dassi: BII: Bureau of Invasion Investigation, in Portsmite, the site of the “burst” in the Themes, out of which came out a huge red hand, and Dimension Red understands our language. ### Adventure Hooks (26:03) Aviv: Something from the other side activated the translocator and drown us in. We don't know where we are and we need to escape. Eran: We approach the monks in Dimension Purple which start to question us and our motivations. A psychology-based adventure. Dassi: A crazy fanatic from Hubert Harington's group got his hands on a translocator and tries to “purify” Dimension Red, and we try to stop them. ### Who Would We Play (30:50) Aviv: Alex Spencer - a boy with career type parents that reads a lot of books and write about the adventures of the group as if they were fictional stories. 13 yo. Eran: Andrea - a girl with self image problems and martial training, the daughter of a military general that wanted a boy. Her mother went insane as a side-effect of the dimensional invasion. Dassi: Curt - a small time drug dealer and burglary, 17 yo. Tried to break into XX's garage when we were tinkering with the translocator. A bastard child of one of the purists and his a domestic worker. ### Game System (37:26) Aviv: [Tales from the Loop](http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/210617/Tales-from-the-Loop-RPG-Rulebook). Eran: [City of Mist](http://www.driv

The Dwarven Forge concept is directly inspired by [NPC Cast's Campaign Crucibles](https://npccast.wordpress.com/tag/campaign-crucible/ "Link: https://npccast.wordpress.com/tag/campaign-crucible/"). Our previous forges, [in Hebrew](http://www.dwarves.org.il/tag/campaign-crucible), include: * Masterwork, a secret conflict in medieval times between guilds such as The Bakers, The Weavers and others, using the magical means of their craft; * It is Good to Die For Our Country, a horrific reimagining of the first few Aliyahs to Palestine, in which the dead were re-tooled to keep working for the Yishuv; * Skies of Loot, a Borderlands-like campaign in a barren world and tons of guns; * Binary Interference, the 20th century but with robots who are trying to be more human; * Teddy, Save Me, in which your toys come to life to combat the nightmares that come in the night; * and others. **2:45 The three elements** Uri: Secret government organizations Aviv: “Empire” - [Assassin's Creed: Origins](https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-gb/home/); [Europa Universalis IV](http://www.paradoxplaza.com/europa-universalis-iv/EUEU04GSK-MASTER.html); [Crash Course World History](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBDA2E52FB1EF80C9); Eran: Guns **4:40 Themes** Uri: secrecy, double life, outside of the public sphere but operating within it, hidden from public view. [Vampire the Masquerade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire:_The_Masquerade); [The Masquerade trope](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Masquerade). Aviv: military expansion, multicultural, an overarching government organization. Eran: availability of guns, the great equalizer. **8:35 What are the players doing?** We are agents saving the populace of Mars from the underground aliens. [Tyranny](https://www.tyrannygame.com/) [Cowboy Bebop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Bebop) [X-COM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM) **15:15 People** Uri: Old one eye Track - the unofficial judge of a mining community. Aviv: Amanda Jackson - a conspiracy theory, believes in aliens. Eran: Xan-Yah - major captain-general of the province. Apparently, [all Asians know martial arts](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllAsiansKnowMartialArts). **21:50 Places** Uri: old mine, Tritium. Aviv: The Colossus - terrace pyramid that looks to be artificial but is actually a bunch of rocks and sand… or is it? The Face on Mars, [in Cydonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(region_of_Mars)). Eran: Olympus Mons, seat of power, space elevator. **27:00 Adventure Hooks** Uri: find Mit the lost kid that was lost, maybe kidnapped by the aliens. Aviv: a mining pod landed. People want it, the empire wants it as well. The empire will get what it wants. Eran: an old enemy and his posse want to gun us down. We need to handle an alien artefact/First Settler technology while escaping them. **33:50 Who would we play** Uri: Chuckless - a big burly man with a big burly guy. Aviv: Karim - Earth born, a duster (a scavenger). A spiritual man, on a pilgrimage. Eran: Colin - An Elsi, into history and archaeology. A peoples person. **39:00 Gaming system** Uri: [Shadowrun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun)? No, [Starfinder](https://paizo.com/starfinder/)? No, [Modern d20](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D20_Modern)? Yes. Aviv: [Savage Worlds](https://www.peginc.com/product-category/savage-worlds/) (maybe [Delta Green](http://www.delta-green.com/) without the horror) or [Genesys](https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/6/27/genesys/) Eran: Savage Worlds or Genesys. [Deadlands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlands) **42:35 Would we play in this game?** Uri: Yes. Aviv: IDK. Eran: I would like to run this. **45:45 Name?** Uri: The Wild Red? ARES - Agents of the Royal Elysium Security Aviv: Dust Devils - Agents of ARES Eran: out in the dust, red something? **50:50 Taking the load off** Eran's [new RPG post](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/2017/11/some-alone

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DTep43.mp3 Hello and Welcome to Dungeon Talk. The General advice and discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 43 N.P.C. --ynergy. In this episode Caleb and I are joined by friend of the show NPC Chris for a Synergy session. Chris is the co-host of one of my favorite podcasts NPC Cast. They do a podcast that covers a broader range of topics about games including, but not limited to RPG's. http://npccast.wordpress.com You can also connect with the guys from NPC CAST on twitter @NPCchris - The nice one @NPCAaron - The smart one @NPCdel - The funny one. Before we get started on the Synergy though, we talk for a few minutes about 13th Age as Caleb and I are about to start a new game with that system. We had 2 synergy submission sent in this time from Matthew Parody and Andrew "That One GM." During the recording we got off topic for a while and Chris and I were geeking out about Podcasting stuff so we went long. For that reason we didn't cover those two Synergies on the show. After editing we had time so I went back and recorded them. I'm also going to post them here so you can read them as well. Matthew's submission: Born of the Gods Synergy The humans of the great-walled city of Theriad have grown lazy and godless. They rule about their vast (island) kingdom and care only for themselves. A (bolt(of Keranos)) comes from the heavens. It destroys a piece of their walls. A warning has been given, and not heeded. The merfolk fret for the humans so a great wizard(deepwater hypnotist) is called to help reign in the humans hubris. A great (sudden storm) is called up from the seas to wash away the humans. Or at least some of them, to ease them back into the right way of things. The walls are too great. Alas it fails and only the Minotaur tribe is punished with watery graves. With the minotaurs decimated the centaurs(pheres-band raiders) see the signs that the gods are giving. A (great hart) has told them that gods' fury is coming and the only safety is within the walls of Theriad. They begin attacking humans and laying siege to the city. The satyrs also sense the impending doom and the smartest of their kind (satyr wayfinder) sneaks into the city with gifts for the doomed ones. The (Claim of Erebos) and (Aspect of Hydra) are greedily taken from the wise satyr. But his words are not. Finally, a (Meletis Astronomer) from within Theriad sees something gathering in the stars. With the centaurs almost broken the human gaze up at the evidence of a (Retraction Helix) growing in the sky. The night is filled with a rain of (Eidolons(Flitterstep, Nyxborn & Shieldmate)) The humans take up arms against this new and growing foe. They look for help in the merfolk, centaurs, minotaurs & satyrs. They humans find help is hard to come by... Their great heroes wield the weapons gifted to them by the (wayfinder) Suddenly the (Helix) is open enough and then (Phenax, God of Deception) sets onto the island and gazes upon the wounded city... Andrew "That One GM" Young's submission : The Pitch: PCs are sent to Isle DeLan to find the Great Hart and gain the blessing of Heliod (for some endeavor of their own or perhaps for their whole nation). They are shipwrecked and trapped there. They must avoid Ydra and her centaur warriors while they search for the Great Hart. They discover that the only way off the island is to unite the separated and bitter members of the Circle of Five and open the Helix Stair, which will take the PCs home. Of course, Ydra and the members Circle of Five might want to use the blessing of Heliod and the Helix Stair for their own purposes… Great Hart – A symbol of Heliod which grants Heliod's blessing to any who can find and approach it; it is currently on Isle DeLan Ydra (ee-drah) – The human form of a powerful half-dragon hydra who rules the Isle DeLan as a goddess [Aspect of Hydra] Pheres-Band Raiders – A tribe of warrior centaurs ...
