This week's hosts - Dave, HidaOWin, Scarr
Editor - SavageMick

"As many of you know, I have a background as a chemistry teacher. I've come to realize that much of what I teach my students applies not only to what goes on in the classroom, but in life also. It's not as crazy as it sounds. You see, technically, chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change: Electrons change their energy levels. Molecules change their bonds. Elements combine and change into compounds. But that's all of life, right? It's the constant, it's the cycle. It's solution, dissolution. Just over and over and over. It is growth, then decay, then transformation. It's fascinating really. It's a shame so many of us never take time to consider its implications."

In the eyes of a Ranger,

'cause that's where the Ranger's gonna be.

TAP 816 - General List Nine

shane@theadventuringparty.net (The Adventuring Party) — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 21:51:00 +0000

This week's hosts - Hida-O-Win & Dave
Editor - SavageMick

Dave and Hida dig through the ideas pile and pick some topics from the towering lists compiled by the Warlord. Savage watches from the editing booth and wonders if our insurance covers toppling topics?

It's time to visit the General Lists...

Does It Have To Have Wizards? - Why is there a reluctance to have games with no sci-fi or fantasy elements? Are we so eager to avoid the real world we need to sprinkle in elves and laser guns? Can 'Soap Opera Logic' or similar narrative devices sub in for supernatural elements? And is real-world drama as gamable as fantastic drama? Conversely, is it ok to have such things in a setting, but forbid them to PCs?

Unified Mechanics and Cognitive Load - Should a game use the same basic mechanics for every action, or is that just limiting what the game can do? Are people who want to roll one dice and get The Happy Number just lazy, stupid, or are they legit overwhelmed?

Random Bastards! - Players who want weird and wonderful outcomes every roll, versus those who would like to be able to plan and achieve goals.

Sometimes you are handed the scenario, sometimes you wrote it, sometimes it's a one-off, sometimes it's your weekly game. But the question is always the same...

Are you running with notes or running from them...

TAP 811 - Infinite Play

Episode 811

This week's hosts - Liam, Dave & Scarr
Editor - SavageMick

"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."
Douglas Adams

Episode 809

This week's hosts - Hida-O-Win
Editor - SavageMick

Who keeps on kickin' when everyone else stops tickin'? Hida-O-Win, that's who!

It's a truely solo episode this week and the System Slayer himself takes a look at the Kickstarter campaign for the Brandon Sanderson RPG, Cosmere. A Jack of all trades or a random grab-bag. Can the huge popularity of the wordsmith's world-building translate into a playable setting and cool new classes for players to explore?

Editor - SavageMick

The week we take two bites out of the new DC20 system recently funded on KickStarter - promising to bring the D20 system to new heights but is it trying to carry too much on it's shoulders. We are playing with the format this week. Hida-O-Win will give us his thoughts first, followed by yours truly.
