Thanks for adding me to the community!

Thanks for adding me to the community! As several have, I see, the avenue I took to get here was the Discern Realities podcast. Thanks for that!

It looks like the text of the custom what-have-you in the “What here is useful or valuable to me?” section of the Discern Realities podcast has been added to the website starting with episode 17. Is that right? Is there a place to find those things from previous episodes, or should I work on jotting them down myself?

Episode 23 of Discern Realities is jam-packed with good stuff.

I am delighted to present the first episode of Pocket-Sized Play!

I am delighted to present the first episode of Pocket-Sized Play!

This show is the result of a collaboration between Tim B Timothy Bennett and Tor Droplets. They came to me and said they had an idea for a podcast that was partially inspired by the ‘comic strip’ AP segments on Discern Realities and +1 Forward. Their idea was to play and record a full session of a game, and then edit it down to roughly 30 minutes of compelling fiction. It is short-form AP, where the mechanics are highlighted during play, but the focus is on the story. I loved the idea, since short-form AP was quickly becoming part of what the Gauntlet was known for, and now here we are!

The team’s plan is to do both one-off games and multi-episode arcs of a single game. The show will be labeled so that, down the road, you can skip around and listen to the episodes from a single storyline that interests you. To start, the episodes feature Tim, Timothy, and Tor, but they are looking at having guests for the future. If you’re interested in joining them for a recording, just drop one of us a message.

Availability on iTunes, and thus all the podcast apps, is coming! Watch this space.

I’ve been able to listen to the first few episodes, and I think they’re onto something really cool! In this first one, they play The Warren by Marshall Miller. Enjoy!

I’ve been catching up on some of the last few months of podcasts, and I keep hearing Jason Cordova refer to his “7-3-1 unified theory of GM prep.” I know I listened to it at some point, but I can’t remember which episode this is actually defined in. Can anyone direct me to it?

A new member of the family! I like that little burst of color in our otherwise grim-dark palette.

This episode of Discern Realities reminded me of making up fronts for a DW one-shot.

This episode of Discern Realities reminded me of making up fronts for a DW one-shot. I did it as an exercise, a fun way to play with the rules and see what the world would look like if we continued.

I like how fronts get me to daydream about the setting in a very controlled manner and ask questions that I otherwise might’ve not.

I wonder if either of you have gone back and written out fronts, even though you don’t need them, and if so, did you learn anything or create anything that you otherwise wouldn’t have?

I don’t think I need it either but I like how it forces me to engage with the setting and ask questions about it.

Inspired by this week’s podcast I put together some blog posts I wrote over the years about Tolkien and gaming.

I am fascinated by settings, so any thoughts on gaming in established settings are welcomed.

Richard Rogers is on the road to Origins, so he asked me to tell you about the newest episode of +1 Forward!

Richard Rogers is on the road to Origins, so he asked me to tell you about the newest episode of +1 Forward! This one features Gregor Vuga from Red Moose Games, and it’s a terrific conversation. I myself have recently played Sagas of the Icelanders for the first time, and this episode does a great job highlighting some of the things I thought were special about the experience.

A mystery: why didn’t Rich call his AP character a PLUScarl instead of a huscarl?

Also, a question: in Apocalypse World, how do you just, you know, shoot that guy? We have the answers!
