Summary

Published: July 23, 2024

Curious? I hope so~

Episode 30: On Skills and Improvement in BRP

Summary

Following on from the previous episode on (My) relationship with Call of Cthulhu, we take two short listener calls from Menion (aka Rob) of the Confessions of a Wee Tim’rous Bushi podcast, who is currently diving deeply into Runequest: Glorantha, and Jason (aka the other Jason) of the Nerd’s RPG Variety cast, who continues doubling down on the variety these days with his refreshing breadth of gamer-relevant topics, and stretch them out for almost an hour. Can you survive this gauntlet of game talk?

Episode 10: On ‘Story’

Summary

What does it mean to participate in a roleplaying game? Is it ‘to play a character?’ or ‘to tell a story?’ or is it ‘to play a character in a story?’ Something else? This episode looks at that word ‘story’ and poses some questions on play, our intentions, and how our actions – intentional or not – shape the outcomes and limit what outcomes are even possible~
