We're visiting other shelves on the bookcase again, this time to dig into World of Darkness: Hong Kong. As with the Tokyo citybook, this was a Year of the Lotus supplement that was ostensibly for all the oWoD gamelines, but in truth was more vampire-centric than anything. Still—the tilts at the other games are present, and to help us sort through the Prodigals, we were joined by Terry Robinson from Mage: the Podcast (recorded before his passing) and Josh Heath from Werewolf: the Podcast (with whom Pooka recorded a follow-up segment more recently). From a Changeling perspective, the book notably contains example of hsien that are not quite built like Kithain, but are still a far cry from those in Land of Eight Million Dreams, which would not come out for several more months. The book overall is a richly described take on the city, and while its approach and accuracy are... debatable, some of it surprisingly prescient for what would follow in the next 25 years. If you'd like to go beyond taking our word for it, you can pick up a copy of the title at https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/344?affiliate_id=3063731. And as with the Tokyo episode, some links for the ad hoc World of Darkness Podcast Network: Werewolf: the Podcast can be heard at https://keepontheheathlands.podbean.com/, and Josh Heath's other endeavor, OpCast (arms around the Trinity Continuum), may be perused at https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/opcast; Mage: the Podcast is at https://magethepodcast.com/ In the long ago times of Season One, we spoke with Josh about Werewolf/Changeling crossover (https://changelingthepodcast.com/podcast/episode-8-werewolf-changeling-with-josh-heath/), and with Terry on Mage/Changeling crossover (https://changelingthepodcast.com/podcast/episode-14-mage-changeling-with-terry-robinson/) And for our usual passel of links: Discord: https://discord.me/ctp Email: podcast@changelingthepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082973960699 Mastodon: https://dice.camp/@ChangelingPod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/changelingthepodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChangelingThePodcast your hosts Josh Hillerup (any pronoun) warns you not to meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with hoisin sauce.

James and Jim act as out guides to The Midnight World, a new RPG Kickstarter that explores horror, deep story, and mental illness. By explaining the games' origins, and personal connection to the main themes, our guests provide an overview that will be of interest to oWoD fans - whether as a complete game, inspiration for chronicles, or even to selectively import game concepts and rules. Of particular interest will be the character creation cycle, and the discussion on the clock mechanic as a source of impending doom (and one a character can actively cause to tick faster). We also chat about making choices meaningful in stories, and James and Jim offer advice on running convention or FLGS games. If you like to know more, and support the Kickstarter, follow these links: Twitter: @themidnightwor1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themidnightwor1 Youtube playtest: https://youtu.be/Sa7rfGAtc3M Join us soon for more Wraith: the Oblivion content, and a Storyteller advice episode!

Hey True Believers! The Midnight Express crew (Rose & BK) are joined by Terry 'Hates On Lacrosse' (from Mage: the Podcast) to talk crossovers. Yes we have another podcaster crossing over onto the episode on cross-overs (it's all very meta, and we're expecting both Renown and Paradox for this). Failing to make Terry flee after facing the horror of 'The Question', we plunge into the main topic. After establishing the types of crossovers and what players and STs can expect, we examine five 'myths' - labeling each of them 'Confirmed', 'Plausible', or 'Busted' whilst offering our own experience. Stay tuned for the follow-up episode over at Mage: the Podcast. There were a lot of neat resources mentioned in the show from podcasts (Mage, Werewolf: the Podcast, and Walking Away From Arcadia), individual episodes (Episode 21: Dark alliance Vancouver, Dice Pool Podcast: Session 0, and Darling Roses' appearance on Mage), and resources (White Wolf Wikia, and Facebook Groups below).

In the first of an infrequent series, the Midnight Express Podcast delves into other RPGs, movies, and popular media that can inspire your oWoD games, or provide some variety at your table. In the inaugural episode, the Swedish dark fantasy game 'Symbaroum' comes under the spotlight; BK and Wendell brave the horrors of old Symbar, stride into the darkness of Davokar and unearth the roots of the game. They explore various aspects of the game from character creation, to game mechanics, and the importance of mood, theme, and story. Wendell points to Origin: Spirits of the Past for further inspiration, BK can't pronounce Modiphius to save his life (he'll do better next time), and they both agree that art like this, this, and this are reasons enough to buy to game. The books mentioned in the podcast were: Symbaroum RPG Core Book (English) Advanced Players Guide (English) Monster Codex (English) See you next time as we return to the World of Darkness and explore another aspect of Storytelling. Hosts: BK and Wendell_Burke Music attribution: Castle of Darkness, by Lisa Cohen and Lionel Schmitt, used under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence.
Wendell returns in this episode to revisit the foundation laid down in Episode 28 with BK. Together, they discuss how existentialism is an integral part of the oWoD, particularly as it applies as a lens for understanding motivations behind fear, and character development. The hosts draw on their own gaming experiences to illustrate the points, offering both a micro- and macro-view of chronicle design, and avenues for expanding the options in any given scene. During the episode, Wendell mentioned Hollow Earth Expeditions, we pointed to the forthcoming Chicago By Night from Onyx Path, and BK briefly mentioned the Symbaroum RPG. Join the Midnight Express Podcast for Episode 46, in which Wendell and BK launch the infrequent series 'You might also like...'. Hosts: Wendell_Burke, and BK.
Welcoming in 2019, Episode 44 features another trip to the Cafe Car, this time with long-time host and contributor Darling Rose. BK, and Rose talk about travel, using Street Maps as a tool for chronicle design, how RPGs can build a sense of empathy, and using Ravenloft as a gateway to Werewolf: the Apocalypse. Rose mentioned the Faerie Worlds event, we both spent time admiring the Changeling Journals at Redbubble, and pointed listeners to the Storytellers Vault (BK's titles can be found here). Stay tuned for Episode 45, in which Wendell_Burke, and BK discuss existential threats and the oWoD. Hosts: Rose, and BK.
Originally published as Mirage Arcana Episode 19 (back when Gogol Fangs-First was but a cub), this episode brings an interview with Teeuwynn Woodruff into the Midnight Express playlist. Archived but accessible for some time, the episode enjoyed consistent downloads, so it's time to benefit from Teeuwynn's wisdom once more. She covers advice for running horror games, discusses her work at White Wolf, and praises Pokemon. Join us for Episode 44, where BK and Rose discuss worldviews of the oWoD and running games in the latest Cafe Car. Hosts: BK and Teeuwynn
Welcome back to a very special episode of Crossing Darkness. Today Moto Rory, Mariko Grey and Frozen Fallout sit down and talk about the events running up to Gen Con 2018 for Madison Under Siege. They start off by talking about the first Alpha test of a 4 table game run in Madison. Then they go into the beta test that was also run in Madison. At Gen Con 2016 they ran their first official event and talk about the experiance of running a mega game at Gen Con for oWoD. At Gen Con 2017 they ran another 4 table mega game that takes place 1 week before the events set for Gen Con 2018. At the end of our podcast they have the audio for the end of our Gen Con 2017 event, in which we had the players give shoutouts to players and scenes that made event special for them and get some great feedback from players!

Bear with us, we had some technical difficulties and lost 1 1/2 episodes due to my cat Tucker sleeping on our laptop and also due to garage band crashing during the first hour of this week's game. But, I give a recap, so you won't miss out on any of the story stuff. Sorry about that guys, but we managed to capture the Addams brothers, two mortal brothers who have started up their own cabal in their basement and have no idea they have invited two Tremere vampires to join them in their occult dealings. After this game, we will be jumping forward a month in time so the vamps will learn the basics about their clans and the Kindred condition and will be forming up their coterie and joining in a on a Brujah rant! Stay tuned for more oWoD to come....I will be sharing the player's downtimes over on our Patreon if you want to see what they get up to in a month in Chicago as new vampires.
Josh Heath of High Level Games joins the show to find out if the Red Talons are right, and humanity needs to be purged. Refining their resumes, Josh and BK start hunting around the business world of Pentex and the subsidiaries from the book of the same name. From King Breweries, to Magadon, to Avalon Toys, the duo not only disassemble the business practices that make these companies so effective, but also pose potential story ideas for your chronicles. Whilst the phrase 'the Litany says I get to kill everyone' is used at least once, most of the ideas are pitched at creating tension and deeper exploration of corruption in Werewolf: the Apocalypse. We also discuss Josh's contributions to The Storyteller's Vault (check them out and support a fellow listener), and revisit some of the price point discussions from a previous episode. If you want to see a group playing one of his modules, look no further. Lastly, check out the High Levels Games Convention that will be happening later this year. You can support the show by picking up your copies of Drivethrurpg books using our affiliate links (below), providing some feedback or a rating via iTunes, and joining a broader community of oWoD fans over the forum.

By Crom! No, it’s not a long-lost Conan story, but rather BK and Wendell-Burke’s foray into the Hem-ka-Sobk. Donning their fedoras, the pair delve into the darkest secrets and archaeological past of those who would eat your liver (without fava beans and a nice chianti), exploring the themes of redemption, whilst circling back to the question ‘how dark is your World of Darkness?’ First covered in The Book of Crafts, these sinners-turned-cultists seem like a disconnected and odd addition to your oWoD games – until your hosts start connecting the dots across sourcebooks such as Rage Across Egypt, Chaining the Beast, Mummy Second Edition, and Bastet, and adding a dash of real-world history. The episode rounds out with some plot ideas including the Hem-ka-Sobk, an maybe even alternate methods for PC members of the crocodile cult. You can get your own copy of The Book of Crafts from our friends at Drivethrurpg, and support the show. Hosts: BK and Wendell_Burke
It's a TARP! BK and long-time listener Josh join forces to discuss LARPing (live action role-playing) and TARPing (tabletop games that incorporate LARP elements) for the old World of Darkness. Josh is the Lead Storyteller for Madison Under Siege, a GenCon TARP event that has grown to incorporate not just Vampire, but also Werewolf, Mage, and Hunter - all at one venue. They discuss LARPing from the GenCon and Camarilla perspectives, with a focus on storytelling, making new players feel welcome, and the types of activities that make LARPing a great experience. Drop by our Forum, the podcast Facebook page, and remember to leave an iTunes review. The next episode will return to the White Wolf Magazine archive with a medical plot hook for Vampire.

As the thirtieth episode rolls out, Beckett and BK are swept away in the swirling morass that can only be metaplot. The dynamic duo discuss the role of metaplot in RPGs, and the oWoD in particular, offering their views on the successful narratives. They close out by considering two aspects of metaplot from Vampire and Werewolf, with some alternate approaches to Assamites, Tremere, Stargazers, Ratkin, and Gurahl. Sadly there are no Hitchcock cameos in this episode.

If you have any ideas for the list, post them over at the forum, email them to midnightexpresspodcast@gmail.com, or post on the Facebook page. See you all in two weeks for Episode 29, featuring a new Shard of Darkness! Hosts: BK & Wendell_Burke
