Primæval Fantasy ·

2021/07/15

This is part 2 with my friends John & Nate on RPG styles. Here we delve specifically into the nuances of difference with Cause/Effect on the PCs as opposed to all others in the world. 1) What do we allow the PCs to do (more than NPCs) just because they are PCs. 2) To what degree do we “protect” the PCs just because they are PCs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/primeval-fantasy/message

10. Mystery, the Mirth of Role Playing

Primæval Fantasy ·

2021/04/06

Meandering Musings: Here I discuss the power of the "Unity of Perspective" between the players & their characters, and how severely restricting information from the players deepens the mystery they want. This even includes extending the Fog of War into some game mechanics, especially the supernatural. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/primeval-fantasy/message

8. The Impact of RPG Mechanics

Primæval Fantasy ·

2020/11/25

Ep 8 -- Part Three of the "Getting on the Same Page" series. Here I discuss how which RPG system (mechanics) you use steers the feeling of your game in one direction or another. As with each part of this series, I encourage gamers to ask, "What experiences do we really want?" and then to pursue that goal using every tool at our disposal. In this instance, it may lead us to change RPG systems. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/primeval-fantasy/message

Primæval Fantasy ·

2020/11/15

Remembering my experience running the antagonist in someone's campaign. Loads of fun, & it shines light on your GMing style. Maybe you're not as neutral as you thought you were. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/primeval-fantasy/message

6. Transforming your RPG 'Chimera'.

Primæval Fantasy ·

2020/11/13

6. Part Two of "Getting on the Same Page" series. Here I discuss the "RPG Chimera" - The blend of tabletop miniature wargaming and Make Believe, and I muse about what exact mixtures different people actually want. We are not confined to use either a 50/50 hybrid split, nor to stick with whichever variation of the chimera we inherited. We can transform our chimeras by altering our gaming methods. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/primeval-fantasy/message

5. Primæval Fantasy -- My Quest for a Mystical...

Primæval Fantasy ·

2020/11/09

My quest is to create the strongest iteration of a deeply premodern, mystical otherworld, and eschew (what i call) the modernic Fantasy subgenres. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/primeval-fantasy/message

4: Choosing from Time's Tapestry

Primæval Fantasy ·

2020/11/02

Here I ruminate on the quasi-historical options we have as backdrops for our Fantasy settings. Many seem to default to (some variation on) the High-Late Middle Ages, but we have many earlier stages we can use as well, and these can bring specific advantages for Fantasy campaigns. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/primeval-fantasy/message
