Campaigns, How to End Them, And the Bumps Along the Way

Episode 58 – Scrape Post Mortem

The audio is a little rough on this one.  Our recording bot’s recording didn’t quite work so I had to rely on a backup one-track OBS recording.  Honestly I thought I had lost this recording too.  

Enjoy and Happy New Years

The job is over and the damage done, but we had to get the gang together for one last look at Scrape, a Red Markets campaign.

Episode 57 – Opportunities For Player Buy-In

While is important for a game master to have clear objectives when plotting out a campaign, it is also equally important to allow players the opportunity to fill in the gaps with content based on their decisions.  In what could be called an ‘organic’ episode (we started talking till a topic developed) Adam, Crazon, David and Rob discuss how to establish player buy-in.

Note:  Contrary to what the background noise might suggest, we did not record this episode in a Chuck E. Cheese.

Music: Ketsa – Love Heart

Episode 54 – Adding Nostalgia Into Your Games

Ahh our old logo….

It looks like we finally made it to 2021. While we are certainly hoping for a brighter future, we can’t help but be a tad bit nostalgic about distant past of our childhoods. In this episode, Adam, Chris, Crazon, David, and Ian discuss how to bring nostalgia into your games.

Talking Points: Nostalgia, Monsters and Other Childish Things, Little Fears, Kids on Bikes

Music: Unconscious by selfpity

Episode 51 – Ectozoic Park Post-Mortem

The game is over, and all the ghost dinosaurs have been put to rest (for the time being), but that doesn’t mean the party has to stop there.  Join Adam, Terra and Review Cultist as we reflect on our experiences playing children in One Less Die’s actual player Little Fears mini campaign, Ectozoic Park.
