Brendan Davis has been spearheading Bedrock games for a good number of years now. House of Paper Shadows is their latest instalment for the Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate game. But what is it about? In this episode I talk to Brendan Davis about his recent release and how to tackle writing content from a different culture without falling into stereotypes and cultural pitfalls Hope you enjoy the show!

This is a recording of the 12th session of our Sons of Lady Eighty Seven campaign for Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate.  Check out Distressor's "Just Breathe", they generously allowed us to use their music in our introduction.

I talk about Flying Crocodiles.  Check out Distressor's "Just Breathe", they generously allowed us to use their music in our introduction.

I had a great chat with Brendan Davis of Bedrock Games about their latest supplement, Ogre Gate Inn. A World of Wuxia and the Supernatural In the strange borderlands of the empire you will find Li Fan, an ancient kingdom of ghosts, lost techniques, and magic. Here, nobles may rule, but powerful Kung Fu masters truly reign supreme. The Ogre Gate Inn and the Strange Land of Li Fan is a sourcebook for Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate. It describes the lands of Li Fan, including key areas like Bone Kingdom and the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. In addition to locations and politics the book also includes a three-chapter adventure set at the infamous Ogre Gate Inn, new monsters, new Kung Fu Techniques and a complete selection of martial heroes and villains. http://www.bedrockgames.net/ http://thebedrockblog.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/bedrockRPGs/ https://twitter.com/Bedrockgames http://www.rpgnow.com/product/222763/Ogre-Gate-Inn-and-the-Strange-Land-of-Li-Fan http://www.wuxiaworld.com/ http://www.wuxiaworld.com/legends-of-ogre-gate-index/ http://bedrockgames.podbean.com/ https://www.birdscoffeecompany.com/coffees/legends-of-tabletop-legendary-brew Use Code Legends10 to get 10% off your order!

I talk and ramble about how I think about design and development in terms of bringing the table experience to the books.  I mention a number of things at the start of the blog. One of them is the Stunning Beauty Chronicles which is a session log of a Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Campaign. I also mention the Ogre Gate development threads at TheRPGsite. Here are the links:  Stunning Beauty Chronicles 1: http://storiescharactersandsystemsinrpgs.blogspot.bg/2016/12/stunning-beauty-chronicles-whoog.html Stunning Beauty Chronicles 5: http://storiescharactersandsystemsinrpgs.blogspot.bg/2017/02/stunning-beauty-cronicles-part-5-whoog.html The Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate design thread: http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?30162-Wandering-heroes-of-ogre-gate Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate early design thread: http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?28578-Wuxia-RPG  

Brendan Davis from Bedrock Games has been creating a few interesting games in the last few years. Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate is their latest and most ambitious proposal yet. A game based on the Wuxia genre from China, this is not the first time the company attempt at recreating cultural aspects of a real life society to a game. With Arrows of Indra, Bedrock Games tried with only moderate success to create a game that would integrate Indian culture into an OSR, though it sadly fell short of the mark. In this case, though, I am much more hopeful as the author is indeed very keen and passionate about the topic. With over 400 pages of game, this one has a great deal of potential to offer detailed and accurate information, so I thought it would be a good idea to check with one of the authors what the game is all about and what sort of measures they have taken to get the best game possible. Hope you enjoy the show!
