Podcasts about other strangeness

In this episode, Mark and Ben discuss the first and still much loved series of games published by Palladium Games. Their entry point to the system was the comic book-inspired Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness, and that led to titles in other genres that used the same system: Heroes Unlimited, Ninjas and Superspies, Beyond the Supernatural, and Palladium's runaway bestseller, Rifts. This was a series of games with fantastic highs and unfortunate lows, and whether you run any of these games for your group or not, we hope you'll put at least one of their games on your shelf soon.

Welcome, Junior Wizards! This week we return to the glory of "TMNT and Other Strangeness" to create a 90s style superpowered animal with attitude! "The animal chain of command goes Beaver, Mouse, Sparrow, Deer." G/Razer has arrived

Mark and Brian can't get their schedules to match up for the next release, so here's something from the Chargen Challenge to tide you over: Mark making up the basics for Smokey the Bear using Palladium Books' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness.Download mp3 (4.37MB)Show linksSmokey BearTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness

It begins with a pizza joke, naturally (00:30). The guys talk about the Choose Your Own Adventure: House of Danger board game (01:15) and Stu breaks down the basics (01:46). They discuss the stupidity of group decision making (03:00) and where to get it (05:00). Conversation turns to the main event: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness (05:39). Stu admits to not being a TMNT fan (05:54) and Hambone sketches out the basic history of the franchise (06:20). Stu talks about the (07:09) original TMNT comic book series, which Palladium Books licensed almost immediately for an RPG (07:53). Stu recounts how Palladium's license of Robotech led to the development of the TMNT cartoon and, ironically, the downfall of the TMNT RPG line (08:43). Stu talks a bit about the (complicated) TMNT RPG system, which is a component of Palladium's Megaversal house system (10:55). He falls into the trap of trying to explain the Megaversal system and eventually gets to TMNT's juicy center: the mutation rules and the After the Bomb campaign setting. (14:40). The guys talk about the rarity of the book (15:53), in particular the very first edition of TMNT and Other Strangeness that contained controversial mental illness rules (16:13). Cowabunga. Hambone gets excited about Pocket Dungeon Quest (17:20) and he walks through its charms (cloth map!)(17:45) See ya next time! (21:22) * Clarification: We tend to use “Choose Your Own Adventure” as a catch-all term for pick-your-path game books but, like iPods and Kleenex, that's actually a brand name for the series published by Bantam Books in the 80s and 90s. The Marvel and Dungeons & Dragons gamebooks Hambone mentions were published by TSR (the latter known as the Endless Quest series). Correction: Stu is totally wrong, TMNT did not start off as a Daredevil pitch, it was a conscious parody of Daredevil (and also Ronin, Cerebus and New Mutants, apparently) from the get-go.

This week we welcome guest Timothy Renner to talk about his book "Bigfoot in Pennsylvania". Long before the term " Bigfoot" was used to describe our big furry friend, people referred to sightings as Wild-men, Gorillas or Apes. Tim takes a comprehensive look at news paper articles from the 1830's to the 1920's that report encounters with these creatures. We also discuss a variety of other strange happenings in the Keystone state and talk a bit about Tim's fantastic Podcast, " Strange Familiars" Find Tim's show at: Strange Familiars Podcast Purchase Tim's books at: Bigfoot in Pennsylvania: A History of Wild-Men, Gorillas, and Other Hairy Monsters in the Keystone State Beyond the Seventh Gate: Exploring Toad Road, The Seven Gates of Hell, and Other Strangeness in York, Lancaster, and Adams Counties

Episode 17: Stepping out of Your Comfort Zone   This week Lindsay talks with teacher Cindy Cabral about stepping outside her directing comfort zone when she took on Lindsay's new Edgar Allan Poe adaptation The Tell Tale Heart and Other Strangeness. Subscribe to The Theatrefolk Podcast On iTunes. On Stitcher. Episode Transcript Welcome to TFP, The Theatrefolk Podcast. I am Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello! I hope you're well. Thanks for listening. Today, we're talking about stepping outside your comfort zone, your theatre comfort zone, with teacher Cindy Cabral. But first, let's do some THEATREFOLK NEWS. This week, Theatrefolk is going to be at the Arizona State Thespian festival. Not only will we have a table with free goodies such as our Play Tastings CD-ROM which has sample pages from every play we have – that's right, every single play – I'll be teaching my All My Ideas Suck workshop which teaches students that, in fact, their ideas do not suck and how to find a step-by-step process to get from topic to sustainable play idea which means how do I come up with an idea that will actually turn into a play. AND, AND I'll also be participating in the Arizona Playworks program. This is an awesome program for student playwrights. Students submit short plays and four are selected. Then, over the course of the weekend, we get together with the playwrights, talk about the plays, they do re-writes and then we audition actors to be in the plays and then we rehearse and put them up as a staged reading all in two days. It's intense. It's a great experience for the students and it's a great experience for me! I always learn something on how to communicate constructive feedback. Lastly, where, oh, where can you find this podcast? We post new episodes every Wednesday at theatrefolk.com and our Facebook page and on Twitter. You can find us on the Stitcher app and you can subscribe to TFP on iTunes. All you have to do is search on the word “Theatrefolk.” Episode Seventeen: Step Outside The Zone Okay, that was a bit dramatic but it's true! We all have a comfort zone as artists. It's a place where we know we do good work because it's an area we're familiar with. For example, for me, writing sarcastic teenage girl dialogue – very familiar for me. So, you know, it's a type of play that comes easy, it's a dance we've done a million times, an acting role that's similar to our personality. It's a nice snuggly blanket of an area and teacher Cindy Cabral went outside that fuzzy blanket zone. She directed the premiere production of my new play The Tell Tale Heart and Other Strangeness – an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe stories. It's been a difficult process for me, not just getting the stories from the page to the stage, but even just getting a school to perform the play and I was really excited last month to finally see the play on its feet so we talk about that and we talk about what it's like to do a play you've never done before. It's a genre you've never done before and your students have never been exposed to before and what it's like to jump off that cliff. You'll hear some noise in the background of the interview. It was a couple of hours before the performance and students were not wasting any time. They were still running scenes on their own, they were trying to get in that one last rehearsal and I love that so I didn't tell them to be quiet. I think it's really great. Let's get to the interview. Lindsay: Hello, Cindy Cabral. Cindy: Hello. Lindsay: Is it Cabral? Cindy: Cabral. Lindsay: Okay. So, I'm sitting here with Cindy Cabral of Saint Roch. Cindy: Rock. Lindsay: Saint Rock? Really? Okay. Cindy: Yeah, it's Saint Rocho. I don't know why they didn't just keep it Saint Rocho. Lindsay: Cool. Secondary school in Brampton, Ontario. And we are here, it's a very exciting night because it is the premier of my adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe,
