Be sure to tune in next week for our special Christmas episode.

Fringeworthy Actual Play #4: Gutter Skypes #75

Once again our friends at the Gutter Skypes have braved the Fringepaths to explore a high tech alien world if the ASA, cranky computer systems, and a horde of small, grey, white bleeding life forms don't give them too much trouble. http://www.anim5.com/IDDFOS/TGS/index.html

Episode 43: Captain Oates Journal and B13 origin stories

We didn't skip episode 42.  The anniversary episode should have been episode 41 and the last one episode 42. This week we cover the legendary journal of Captain Oates.  The very first Earth Prime fringe explorer.  He spent many years on the fringepath before returning to Earth and having a fatal accident before he could reach civilization.  Only his corpse and his journal survive.  We discuss how to use it to drive adventures, answer critical questions, but not require the GM to write a huge journal before starting her campaign. Then on to Bureau 13 as we discuss how the adventure that introduced the character to the Bureau can drive character development and creation.  How it can affect team dynamics.  Remember:  Conflict is Good!

Episode 41: Tri Tac Games Podcast #1

We start our new format of Fringworthy and other Tri Tac Game products.  First we tell you how to find out important intel from the other side of the Fringeworthy portal without having to risk your all too tender flesh.  Then we do an intro to Bureau 13, how it fits with Fringeworthy, and how it compares to other modern supernatural rpgs.

Gutter Skypes Fringeworthy Actual Play #3

The gutter skypes are at it again.  This is their 3rd session of Fringeworthy and has nothing to do with the prior sessions except the same pc characters.  There is a lot of banter before the actual game, so you might want to skip ahead about an hour.
