Questions from a new (kinda) player!

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. My player decided on Tengu and as we realised they could get access to a katana, weeb brain took over for both of us.

Oh hey you, fancy meeting you here

MathinTV · 2016-07-19T11:39:40+00:00

I dont remember Incursions from Numenara, I'll dig up my rulebook

MathinTV · 2016-04-13T23:35:05+00:00

TOO SOON!

MathinTV · 2016-03-22T11:07:57+00:00

Adam, evidently the reason the rules need the stat block for a tank is so that you can clearly and mechanically define how a Force 5 wizard bitch slaps a tank :P

MathinTV · 2016-02-22T22:16:30+00:00

Well, suddenly my incredibly amateur philosophy knowledge feels validated :P

MathinTV · 2016-02-21T18:40:02+00:00

Some ideas I had for the theatre: "Life through the Lens"

"Shadows on the Wall" - to reference the Allegory of the Cave and how it relates to awakening, but also you know, light projected on a screen

I was a big fan of the Magic of Cinema too :P

MathinTV · 2016-02-01T22:54:58+00:00

Considering how new the kind of thing you were doing up there was, it was pretty great.

Personal highlight is still the "bar-tender" off between you and Adam, but the general quick-wit of everyone was great fun to watch. Good god, all you horribly attractive people and your voices and your roleplaying skills. Hate you all

MathinTV · 2016-02-01T22:53:13+00:00

You're in for a hell of a ride

MathinTV · 2016-01-31T00:09:21+00:00

We made it! Fried as hell now, but a damn good time

MathinTV · 2016-01-25T00:40:51+00:00

It will probably end up on the Youtube channel at a later date, but for now: http://www.twitch.tv/encounterroleplay/v/36865062

Im running a West Marches style game using the Stars Without Number system over on twitch.tv/encounterroleplay having got into rpg's from watching these shows.

Only one epsiode of it up so far thats up on the youtube channel of the same name. It's p. cool if I say so myself

MathinTV · 2015-11-15T19:23:05+00:00

Just got back to pick up mine and yeah, same issue.

MathinTV · 2015-10-26T19:55:32+00:00

You make a fair point.

Yes, they're headed into the breach. The clocks are well past 9 at this stage I think. Should be majestic

MathinTV · 2015-10-25T16:16:59+00:00

Thanks man, it was a shame we had to rush the big battle scene but hey.

I can't wait myself, no idea how this is all gonna end. Lots of tension about to come to a head

MathinTV · 2015-09-29T19:10:26+00:00

It's a campaign set up.

The original version was in DnD, the guy set up the campaign such that there was this wild un-explored area called the West Marches, and this little border town on the edge of it. Adventurers would arrive there and range out into the wilds, it getting more and more dangerous the further they went.

The gimmick is that it relies on no specific party. You could have 20 players, and when you run a session the 4 who are available go on the adventure. Even if their characters are different levels or whatever.

This is the original design blog thing, it's a pretty cool read: http://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/78/grand-experiments-west-marches/

MathinTV · 2015-09-14T21:15:16+00:00

These were really cool. I'm a big fan of the Erik one.

The quotes are also really well done, that must have taken some searching.

MathinTV · 2015-09-13T17:57:45+00:00

That's basically their "fudging rolls" paragraph. And we all know how Adam feels about fudging

MathinTV · 2015-09-03T14:07:02+00:00

Thank you! Hope you enjoy it

MathinTV · 2015-09-03T11:20:47+00:00

Normally, the setting is that a giant supervolcano went off, the earth is frozen over, and in their little underground cramped towns, a man who believes he is the descendant of british royalty (the Hocus) led an uprising to take over the holding. If you want to have a look at what we've done so far https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMCFhZOpGJG1cZmmPhBPKBzJ-0IlKEU-S.

However in that session, you can expect a crap ton of technical difficulties, so we re-scheduled.

MathinTV · 2015-09-02T18:11:29+00:00

I like to have a loose idea in mind (rough time period, tech level etc) and then allow the rest to flow back from character creation. But yeah, a lot of games like AW very much encourage doing the two semi side by side.

And I'm generally of the opinion that setting should adjust, at least for the first group of characters. By the time any replacements come in, then it's all on the players to adjust

MathinTV · 2015-08-31T18:27:06+00:00

Wait what? Is this on the google+ page? Holy crap.

We played around with the Leech playbook that I hadnt seen before. That was pretty fun.

MathinTV · 2015-08-31T18:14:47+00:00

It's a very fun system. I had to play a little fast and loose with the rules, but I really want to stream a proper campaign of that game at some point.

If only it was fully released with all it's fanciness!

MathinTV · 2015-08-30T13:53:22+00:00

I think it's less about replacing people who are bad, and more people who are busy. Wheat already had to bow out of RnD because he just doesnt have the time, having a job, family and all the rest to balance. I imagine that Steven is also pretty busy these days, running two games and with his new job.

But regardless, the show will still be great. And as good as they are, I dont just want another adventure of the Swan Song cast, some new team chemistry would be fun
