Ryan Boelter, co-host of Character Creation Cast and creator of the Chimera RPG joins me to talk fandom! One of the great things about Ryan is how similar we are in age, which means we grew up on many of the same things at the same time. We kick things off with a discussion about Sailor Moon, one of the longest running anime fandoms. Then Ryan educates me about Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" book series. It's a fascinating conversation about the series. As a long time fantasy lover, it was great to hear a new perspective. Then we roll into tabletop roleplaying games. From Ryan's start in roleplaying, creating the Character Creation Cast podcast, creating the Chimera RPG and work Ryan does in so many facets of the TTRPG podcast arena.

We’ll be discussing what this game is all about and then dive into world building before we figure out what characters we’re going to be making together!Announcements:Chimera RPG Itch.io Page:https://play.chimera.games/Ryan’s A Tale of Twinkle and Awe campaign backlog:https://twitch.chimera.games/Amr’s Cape and Blade campaign backlog:https://capeandblade.chimera.games/Blue Planet: Recontact Kickstarter:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1875712273/blue-planet-recontactLeave us reviews in any, or all, of these places:Character Creation Cast on Apple Podcasts (The best place to leave reviews for us)https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/character-creation-cast/id1363822066?mt=2&ls=1Character Creation Cast on Podchaserhttps://podchaser.com/CharacterCreationCastCharacter Creation Cast on Stitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/character-creation-cast?refid=stprCharacter Creation Cast on Facebookhttps://facebook.com/CharacterCreationCastGuests and Projects:Amr Ammourazz @ammourazzTwitter: https://twitter.com/AmmourazzItch: https://ammourazz.itch.io/Ryan Boelter @lordneptuneTwitter: https://twitter.com/lordneptunePatreon: https://patreon.com/RyanBoelterItch: https://lordneptune.itch.ioWebsite: https://lordneptune.comSide Heroes on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SideHeroesPodSenda @IdellaMithlynndTwitter: https://twitter.com/IdellaMithlynndPanda’s Talking Games: https://twitter.com/PandasTalkGamesGnome Stew: https://twitter.com/GnomeStewShe’s a Super Geek: https://twitter.com/SASGeekPodcastGames discussed this episode:Chimera Playtest by Ryan Boelter and Amr AmmourazzItch: https://play.chimera.gamesTimestamps:00:00:00 - Announcements00:03:11 - Introductions00:08:44 - What's in a game?00:14:46 - What do we need to play this game?00:18:13 - What kinds of stories and themes is this game meant to explore?00:19:44 - What do characters do in this game?00:27:56 - Why did we start with these three genres?00:30:49 - What is unique about Chimera?00:35:49 - History of Chimera00:45:05 - Under-design vs Over-design00:49:43 - Terms and Concepts - Worldbuilding00:51:30 - Genre Modules00:52:33 - Playbooks00:58:24 - Signature Moves vs Default Moves vs Additional Moves01:00:13 - Fellowship Pool01:01:13 - Let's make some people!01:01:37 - Let's make a place! - Picking Genres01:04:33 - Picking Genre World Tropes01:10:48 - World Building Questions - What is the shape of this world?01:15:44 - What is the typical technology level of this world?01:18:52 - What sort of transportation is readily available?01:24:03 - What does the typical civilization look like in this world?01:27:57 - Who populates this world?01:31:58 - How are people governed and how do people feel about it?01:35:09 - Let's make some people (for real this time)! - Archetypes01:41:02 - Senda picks her Archetypes01:42:10 - Amelia picks her Archetypes01:45:10 - Ryan picks their Archetypes01:46:27 - Amr picks their Archetypes01:46:39 - Call to Action01:49:53 - Credits01:51:48 - Show Blurbs: A Woman With Hollow EyesTranscriptshttps://charactercreationcast.simplecast.com/episodes/series-391-chimera-with-amr-ammourazz-and-ryan-boelter-designer-discussion/transcriptMusic:Opening: Meditation Impromptu 03 (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Calming/Meditation_Impromptu_03) by Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com)Clip 1: Hero (Remix) (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Steve_Combs/Principal_Photography_1493/11_Hero_Remix) by Steve Combs (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Steve_Combs/)Clip 2: Meditation Impromptu 03 (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Calming/Meditation_Impromptu_03) by Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com)Main Theme: Hero (Remix) (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Steve_Combs/Principal_Photography_1493/11_Hero_Remix) by Steve Combs (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Steve_Combs/)Our Podcast:Character Creation Cast:Twitter: @CreationCast (https://twitter.com/CreationCast)Facebook: https://facebook.com/charactercreationcast/Discord: http://discord.charactercreationcast.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/creationcast/Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/CharacterCreationCastAmelia Antrim:Twitter: @gingerreckoning (https://twitter.com/gingerreckoning)Website: https://ameliaantrim.wordpress.com/Garbage of the Five Rings podcast: (http://garbageofthefiverings.com/)G5R Twitter: @G5Rpodcast (https://twitter.com/G5Rpodcast)Ryan Boelter:Twitter: @lordneptune (https://twitter.com/lordneptune)Website: https://lordneptune.comTwitch: https://twitch.tv/lordneptunerbChimera RPG: @ChimeraRPG (https://twitter.com/ChimeraRPG)A Horror Borealis: @AHorrorBorealis (https://twitter.com/AHorrorBorealis)Patreon: https://patreon.com/RyanBoelterItch.io: https://lordneptune.itch.ioOur Website:http://www.charactercreationcast.comOur Network:http://oneshotpodcast.comNetwork Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/oneshotpodcast

Today in a Terrible Warriors Podcast Spotlight, Justin connects with Ryan Boelter from the Character Creation Cast. Does What It Says On The Tin The Character Creation Cast is just what you think it’s gonna be but then goes to be much more than that. Designed to inspect and explore the character creation phase of TTRPGs it’s no surprise that we wanted to sit down with Ryan to talk about his show after we’ve just dipped our toe into this topic with our own Session Zero series. They break each game examination into three parts, creating character and learning the world and it’s rules, interviewing the creators of the game, and then writing fan fiction about the characters they have created but which they’ll never get a chance to actually play a game with. Character Creation Cast has been ongoing since 2018 and they’ve already explored more than 36 different games and along that way Ryan has picked up some common themes and best examples of what makes character creation in tabletop RPGS so interesting and unique an experience. Blending The Best Into A Puree Of Game So what’s one to do with all this collected knowledge? Why not make your tabletop RPG? And call it Chimera and take the best tools and styles of character creation and world building from the most successful games out there and craft a PbtA game that blends genres and character tropes into unique world building exercise? Ryan’s game is still in testing but he shares with us all about the process and thinking that’s been going into Chimera and what to expect from it and along the way Justin may have even helped him devise a wonderful mechanic to help randomize the character generation process! We’ll have to wait and see if his idea makes it past the testing phase. Safe To Play While Ryan is taking notes on the best games and systems available out there for players he’s also hoping that more and more games begin to include safety tools into the design process of the game itself and not just bootstrapped on after the game ships. We break down our thoughts on the importance of safety tools, offer some personal stories, and share some great examples of safety mechanics in action that can be done in a way that doesn’t just make your game safer but also will improve your story’s performance and the enjoyment of all the players at your table.

As the perfect day begins to get kind of old, the Hunters look for something--anything--to help them break the cycle. Martha sees things in a new light, and a glimmer of hope sparks the seeds of a plan.CWs: Drug References: 24:12 - 25:27 & 27:25 - 27:35 Discussions of Murder/Death: 28:03 - 28:51   Moriah Harris is Addison PeacockMartha Campbell is Tim WoernerSiobhan O'Shaughnessy is Andrew GiottaThe Keeper is Alex FlaniganSound design & audio production by Ryan Boelter.

This was never going to end well.Reeling in the wake of a brutal attack and a shocking transformation, Siobhan and Martha find their way to each other and face a difficult decision: worn down, battered, and desperate, how hard are they willing to fight to keep the remaining threat from harming anyone else?

What are we, the producers of a critically-acclaimed breakout primetime vehicle for Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston's dramatic careers? Because the events of this episode are BREAKING BAD.Martha gets a cryptic distress call from the worst possible source at the worst possible time, while Moriah and Siobhan bear witness to a moment that neither of them can walk away from.

Nobody knows how to bowl. Nobody has ever known how to bowl. It's an impossible game and we're done talking about it.Also, Siobhan stages an air hockey intervention, Moriah and Martha gets suspicious, and the gang makes an excellent point about the statistics of a secondary location.CW: Drug referencesMoriah Harris is Addison PeacockMartha Campbell is Tim WoernerSiobhan O'Shaughnessy is Andrew GiottaThe Keeper is Alex FlaniganSound design and audio editing by Ryan Boelter.

Zoë learns the truth about herself with some help from her father. Martha learns some truths about vampires with some help from Hawk. Moriah finally gets some gosh darn sleep, and wakes up to the sinking sensation that they're all in over their heads.CW: mild body horror, mention of blood, mention of violenceMoriah Harris is Addison PeacockMartha Campbell is Tim WoernerSiobhan O'Shaughnessy is Andrew GiottaThe Keeper is Alex FlaniganAudio editing by Ryan Boelter.

The team manages, against all odds and terrible time management skills, to get back together--and to start putting the pieces together as well. But as usual, the information they have only leads to more questions. Do they know a monster when they see one? Are there innocents wrapped up in all of this? How can they protect the town when they don't know what their enemies are capable of? As always, the solution is probably a slumber party.Moriah Harris is Addison PeacockMartha Campbell is Tim WoernerSiobhan O'Shaughnessy is Andrew GiottaThe Keeper is Alex FlaniganAudio editing by Ryan Boelter.

Look, we're not entirely sure what's happening in this episode. Martha commits some light identity theft, if that appeals to you? Siobhan leads the world's most weirdly tense nature walk? Also, vampires? You should probably just listen.

There's something about Zoë...Moriah has a shocking revelation about her best friend and must do her best to find the one person who can help. Meanwhile, Martha is caught in a delicate position while she tries to warn Siobhan of the danger they're in without alerting Carson and the others to what she knows. Can each of our Hunters piece together what they need working alone?No midroll today--my computer simply refuses to let me record one.

Chasing her natural suspicions, Siobhan begins to investigate a lead she may or may not actually have--but when has that stopped her before? With some help from Moriah and an unsettling vision from Martha, the pieces begin to click into place. The resulting picture isn't pretty.

Ryan Boelter and I explore the genre-bending world of Chimera by looking at the basic move Embrace Your Chimera and the genre move The Power of Friendship. After an overview of the system, we talk about how the genre move gives more mechanical and narrative depth to the basic move, and how the basic move functions in the rules-light system. We also talk about what it looks like for a group to team up to take on the Big Bad and how the GM can work with the players to encourage amazing scenes.
