"The world doesn't like those who are different, Markus. Don't let anyone tell you who you should be."This week marks the start of the analysis series on Detroit: Become Human! Rick is joined by Nomad (The Retro Wildlands) to dissect Quantic Dream's 2018 narrative-based game. Citizenship, sentience, equity...are artificial intelligence machines - that is to say, androids - deserving of such things? What are the ethical implications of such a high level of integration in society? For better or for worse, David Cage's tale sidesteps pondering questions of ethics and philosophy for a story centered around a cast of likeable characters. Star studded, too. This episode covers through Chapter 5.

We wanted to be ready for the Super Bowl so we called up NFL veteran punter Chris Kluwe for a lesson on all that goes into punting the ball to the other team. How much goes into punting? Turns out A LOT. Chris, who is a published author and game designer as well, guides us through each minute step of the punting process (and there are maybe, conservatively, a zillion steps) in enough detail to easily zonk you out to sleep. It's NFL football but without any of the violence or thrills that might conspire you to keep you awake.Get your copy of Chris Kluwe's debut novel Otaku wherever books are sold. Check out Twilight of the Gods, the tabletop RPG game co-designed by Chris Kluwe, at www.boardgamegeek.com, or the game store of your choice. Google "Chris Kluwe" for all his other many many creative endeavors.

Nicky and Eric get romantic with farm animals in an episode all about Paca Plus. Paca Plus is a visual novel for PC. The plot follows high school student, Kazuma Saeki, whose girlfriend, Yukari Izumi, gets turned into an alpaca after their summer visit to the Alpaca Kingdom. Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?) BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcast Credits: Nicky Smith Eric Luedtke Music by Mark Spurlock and Eric Luedtke References: https://vinesauce.fandom.com/wiki/Paca_Plus https://web.archive.org/web/20161108123509/http://blog.livedoor.jp/akibahd/archives/27815727.html https://web.archive.org/web/20160730005957/http://blog.livedoor.jp/alpacasoft/archives/cat_50052404.html https://web.archive.org/web/20180319000308/http://pacoproject.net/ https://x.com/paco_project https://web.archive.org/web/20180822195232/http://pacoproject.net/pp/index.html https://web.archive.org/web/20170928214318/http://pacoproject.net/pp/information.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sekai_Project https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/m3ubqp/what_are_doujin_circles/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180122143248/http://pacoproject.net/pacasen/ https://www.treehugger.com/things-you-didnt-know-about-alpacas-4864274

In this episode of Tabletop Tune Up, learn how to borrow the key elements of pulp storytelling to add thrills and chills to your games. Pulp is a style of storytelling distinct from the 1930's time period it is often associated with. Pulp stories tend to feature powerful, virtuous heroes, dastardly villains, exotic locales, and high octane over the top action. As a storytelling approach, pulp influences go beyond the 1930's adventure and detective fiction to include the science fiction of Flash Gordon (which inspired Star Wars) and the fantasy adventures of Conan the Barbarian. So try a little pulp in your next game and let us know how it turns out! You can reach us with Tune Up ideas at tabletoptuneup@gmail.com.

Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you've already heard.https://www.enworld.org/threads/diamond-comic-distributors-files-bankruptcy-sells-alliance-game-distributors.709593/Diamond Comic Distributors, the owner of Alliance Game Distributors has filed for bankruptcy. In a message from Chuck Parker the President of Diamond comic Distributors he outlines the necessity for the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy which would allow Diamond Comic Distributors to restructure and meet many of its significant financial obligations. While this could likely be very bad news for an already struggling comic book industry his message does have some good news;“We have already received a commitment from Universal Distribution to purchase Alliance Game Distributors coupled with a signed letter of intent to purchase Diamond UK, and we remain committed to pursuing offers for all Diamond lines of business.” Parker said in his statement.While it's not likely this news will cause any significant issues or problems with game distribution it is noteworthy that Goodman Games signed an exclusive deal with Diamond in December of 2023.https://goodman-games.com/blog/2023/12/04/goodman-games-inks-exclusive-distribution-deal-with-diamond-book-distributors/Nasty business stuff. Mike you are our business guy. What's all this mean?[Kick to Mike]Christina, thoughts?[Kick to Christina]Speaking of IPs, or at least we will be speaking of IPs in the near future, stay tuned to our regularly scheduled program for our upcoming episode on Intellectual Properties that should be games we have this bit of news from across the pond.https://www.enworld.org/threads/qi-mentions-the-diana-jones-awards.709578/QI is a BBC2 quiz show that called out the Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Roleplaying Games on it's social media accounts. While that is news, it's not why I bring this up. Reading the “Quiet Interesting” post on Facebook is what made this one interesting.The Diana Jones Award is named after The Adventures of Indiana Jones Roleplaying Game that was released by TSR in 1984. It is considered one of the least loved and most savaged roleplaying games of all times and eventually every last copy was burned. The trophy itself is a Lucite pyramid made up of the last legible remains from those burned books. All you can read is “diana Jones” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Jones_AwardMike, Christina, did you guys know this origin story and if you did, why the hell didn't you tell me?[Kick to Mike and Christina]Also, why does Steven Spielberg have such a great track record with moves, but a terrible one when it comes to turning those movies into games. I mean we have this one with Indiana Jones and then we also have the ET Atari Video Game. Both considered the worst ever in their genres? You guys might want to keep that in mind when thinking about the IPs that need to be made into roleplaying games…I'm looking at you Avatar.[Kick to Mike and Christina]And there you have it. All the news, you've already heard.

A Quarter Century of Quests: Reliving the Magic with Our Top 25 RPGs Remember those late nights, long after we should have gone to bed, controller in hand, exploring fantastical worlds, forging lifelong relationships (even if they were just with pixels on a screen), and saving the world from destruction? That feeling, that immersion, that pure escapism – that's the magic of a great RPG. And for the past 25 years, we've been blessed with an incredible bounty of them. Join us on the latest episode of The Thirsty Mage as we embark on a nostalgic journey through the very best that the world of role-playing games has offered. We're counting down our definitive Top 25 RPGs of the last 25 years, a celebration of the titles that defined a generation and shaped the landscape of interactive storytelling. From sprawling open worlds to tightly-knit narratives, from turn-based tactical combat to action-packed real-time battles, we've explored every corner of the RPG genre to bring you this carefully curated list. This isn't just a list; it's a conversation. It's a chance to reminisce about the games that stole our hearts, the characters we grew to love (and sometimes hate), and the moments that are etched into our gaming memories. Think back to the first time you cast Firaga, the thrill of leveling up, the agonizing choice between two equally powerful pieces of loot. These are the experiences that bind RPG fans together, a shared history of adventure and imagination. Our Top 25 RPGs list reflects that shared history, highlighting the games that pushed boundaries, innovated gameplay mechanics, and crafted stories that resonated with millions. This episode isn't just about nostalgia, though. It's also about rediscovering classics. Perhaps you missed a few gems along the way, or maybe you're looking for a new (old) obsession. Our countdown is the perfect guide for anyone looking to delve into the rich history of RPGs. We discuss what made each game special, its impact on the genre, and why it deserves a spot on our prestigious list of the Top RPGs of the last 25 years. Did your favorites make the cut? Prepare for some tough choices, passionate debates, and maybe even a few surprises. We've done our best to represent the diverse landscape of role-playing games, So, settle in, and join us as we celebrate a quarter century of incredible role-playing experiences. This is more than just a podcast episode; it's a time machine, a portal back to the worlds that shaped us.
