The show after the show! Each month Kevin & Gabe get together after playing a specific tabletop roleplaying game system or setting and discuss the experience. We answer what is great about the system and what is not. Did combat grind the game to a halt, again? Join the conversation by calling in to reflect on your own games.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 40: John Carter of Mars - Modiphius 2d20
Q: Playing and being so immersed in game culture and playing all these different systems, how does that shape your view of the world and when you're thinking about things?
Gabe says he rarely interprets real life through game terms, though he considers how social conflict works in games. Kevin agrees that he usually keeps gaming separate from daily life, but values mechanics that model mental conflict as well as physical harm.
Bonus VIII: James Pozenel, author of Netcrawl TTRPG
Q: Question four, what game are you playing now?
I'm mainly running Netcrawl right now, with some sessions at TotalCon and other games like Shadow Dark and a DCC game to round out playtesting and exposure to different systems.
Bonus VIII: James Pozenel, author of Netcrawl TTRPG
Q: Question three, why do you create?
There's a compulsion to tell stories; the urge to create worlds and narratives has always been in me since childhood, and sharing those stories with others at the table is deeply fulfilling.
Bonus VIII: James Pozenel, author of Netcrawl TTRPG
Q: Question number two, what is your favorite game mechanic?
My favorite mechanic is the spell checks from DCC, using a table of results that maps a spell's power to success thresholds; I love how it can be repurposed to create varied effects, including programs for Netcrawl.
Bonus VIII: James Pozenel, author of Netcrawl TTRPG
Q: Question number one, if you were a polyhedral die, which die would you be?
I'd be a 12-sided die because it looks chunky and has a balance of reliability and variety; it hits corners hard and offers a satisfying curvature for a wide range of rolls.
