Episode 267: HardWired Hinterland Fiasco Playset part 1

John Reiher designed a playset to be used with the Bullypulpit game Fiasco that draws from the HardWired Hinterland setting.  We all got together and decided to try it out.  We had a great time and we think it's entertaining.  Let us know if you agree.

On the technical side, we played an accelerated version of the game. Please visit the folks at Bully Pulpit games to check out Fiasco!

Episode 250: Animation bible?

Wow!  250 episodes by my count of course.  The site says we have over 300 but I only count the ones that matter. [grin].

Anyways, one of our listeners wanted to know why we haven't created an animation bible so that our games could be made into an animated movie or tv series.  So we talk about that very possibility with the  hosts and Richard Tucholka, creator of the Tri Tac games.
