Gaming on the Frontier

This week we tried an experienent.  4 hosts did their best to create a playable fringeworthy adventure in 20 minutes based on 3 objects, persons, or places (set of 3) given to them by another host.  The results can be heard here and downloaded from the Fans of Fringworthy facebook page or email a host if you don't do facebook.  Hope you like them.

This week we start our discussion of what helps and hinders on your character sheet.  what needs to be right in front and what is better on the GM's screen instead.

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.

An update on the status of the Savage Worlds Fringeworthy game. We talk about why it's late, what to expect in this new version of the game, and John Reiher apologizes for the delay in getting it out. We talk about the changes to the background and how things work in this game. And that we'll have both a player's guide version as well as a full GM's version.

We encourage you to playtest the game, so visit the Fringeworthy Google Drive Folder to download the core rules for play testing. They will be updated on a regular basis so keep checking back as we progress.

Trav and Bruce relate the games that jazzed them at gencon as well as the indy night life.

This week we finish our discussion of playing with other's intellectual property.

This week Trav helps us to understand what makes up the canon of an intellectual property and what we can do with it.  When are we violating canon and where we are extending it.

Join your host, Bruce Sheffer and other grey and not-so-grey beards as we talk about the years of D&D playing we've enjoyed.  Moderated by Ted Skirvin.  In order of appearance:  Ted Skirvin, Steve Brailsford, Adam Throne, Carter Maddox, Bruce Sheffer.

We'll be returning to our regular fare next week with an exploration of the Star Portals in Fringeworthy.

This week we finish our discussion/review of the new Tri Tac game, Cloisters.  A post apocalyptic setting for any game system.

We continue our discussion of the interesting survivors and how to deal with them.
