Unlucky 13, If I had planned it out better this would have been the Halloween episode. Ah well, such is life.I'm going to stop apologizing for the audio quality since those of you on the discord made it incredibly obvious that I'm probably making mountains out of mole hills. Also I listened to some radio professionals and realized they make the exact same sounds.In this episode I'm going to continue to pick apart the mechanical underpinnings of the Fudge RPG, specifically the way traits work in the game, and specifically how it gives rise to "The Bronze Rule" AKA the Supposed Fate Fractal. Its also the Fudge Fractal, the Icons Fractal, The Blood in Space Fractal, Etc.Trying out Ko-fi to replace Patreon, so if you'd like to support the show please buy me a Ko-FiMusic is Blind Love Dub by Jeris (c) copyright 2017 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/VJ_Memes/55416 Ft: Kara Square (mindmapthat) Links Fate Fractal Powered By Fate Podcast Icons Thanks to Bynw and DarkSir23 for setting up the Eris bot on the DIscord Music at the Table Deadlands game music Isaac Arthur Science and Futurism (Podcast) Now Playing I think I called it Now Showing on the show for some reason, sorry.

In this episode of the Vigilance Press Podcast, I have the distinct pleasure to talk to Ryan Macklin, editor and game designer. Ryan talks to me at length about Mythender, his free RPG available for download from Drive Thru RPG and RPGNow.com. We also go into publishing via Drive-Thru's Print on Demand tools and discuss his editing work with Paizo, publishers of Pathfinder. There is a smattering of colorful language in this episode, so this podcast *might* not be safe for everyone, if "F-Bombs" are deemed offensive.

Have Master, Will Plan #1 with Ryan Macklin, part 1 0:34 - A few weeks ago, at the second Nerdly Beach Party, I recorded a conversation with Ryan Macklin (of the Master Plan podcast) that we've both decided to release. 2:10 - This show is part of the Gaming Broadcast Network. 2:16 - There's a bit of silliness at the beginning, including Ryan naming me Mastermind of the Year for 2007, but eventually we get around to talking about the Nerdly Beach Party 2. 11:20 - Ryan talks about his experience with playing 1001 Nights, and we spin off on the idea of revisiting games and single-session play. 16:57 - Ryan waxes nostalgic about Unknown Armies, and we talk about goal-oriented play and design. 23:27 - I talk about my group's Burning Empires game, the way we use interstitial scenes, and how we sometimes move the emphasis off of conflict. 34:42 - One of the things I've learned in that game is that you should never have a Duel of Wits that you're not willing to lose. Embracing that possibility, however, can generate great drama. 39:29 - While both Ryan and I really enjoy games like Burning Empires and their goal-oriented style, we also really enjoy A Penny For My Thoughts, which like 1001 Nights, is not a strongly goal-oriented game. We talk about what it is about these more collaborative storytelling games that grabs us, what we've learned about playing them, and how that can leak out into games like Dirty Secrets. 47:46 There are more great gaming podcasts at RPGPodcasts.com. 47:52 If you want to hear more about Project Cowbell, design ideas, and our thoughts on publishing, check out part 2 of this conversation over on the Master Plan feed. --PaulDiscuss this episode in the HG,WT forum

Tough, tough love. 23:27 - Silas Applebottom of The Little Shop of Crappy Games in Deathtrap, IA (aka Randy Porter) talks about my gaming past. 26:40 - Jeff Tidball tells a story that’s funny because it’s true. 29:23 - Michelle Nephew talks about the experience of working with me at conventions. 31:07 - JJ Lanza from Fist Full of Comics and Games explores my obsession to be first with everything. 33:34 - Mario Dongu from the Game Master Show reads the Top 5 list the Pod Thralls prepared. 37:48 - Brennan Taylor, my co-host from The Voice of the Revolution, tells us what it’s like to do a podcast with me. 40:58 - Frequent guest Kenneth Hite gives us a sneak peak as to what it’s like to play in games with me. (Note to Ken: Charles Grodin never won an Oscar.) 48:10 - Ryan opens up the floor to questions. 52:10 - I finally get a chance to speak my peace and look back at one hundred amazing episodes. 1:02:08 - Chris Hanrahan and Brian Isikoff from 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction pass along their congratulations. 1:02:32 - And that will do it for Have Games, Will Travel #100.
