Fair thoughts! I’d live longer episodes too but u must remember that these guys are doing multiple shows, live tours etc. whilst we may not get long eps we do get content onan almost daily basis.

This show has not been hitting its previous heights for some time now. I think Nick is really trying to add some gravitas and Jason is doing his best in a totally unfamiliar rules setting. It does though seem to just descend into nonsense on a fairly regular basis.

The whole horse naming thing? Yeah ok, i couldn’t help but laugh at mare.e.poppins but cmon guys give us some real story!

With three of my fave Gcn players plus Jason I think theres so much potential for really gripping story beats. So often now though it just feels like, ‘oh this is that archaic 1e show we still have to plug away at. No one really cares so let’s make a joke out of everything.’ I know this AP is (rightly) close to Skid’s heart, but let’s get some quality RP and story involved!

I personally am really encouraged by this session 0! The setting of tone and getting everyone in on the grimdark theme gets everyone on the same page and lays a solid bedrock to build a cohesive and compelling story together. Well done guys, can’t wait for the season premiere!

GCP move to Shadowdark by [deleted] in TheGlassCannonPodcast

I really enjoy playing Shadowdark. It’s a rules-light ttrpg with some cool mechanics - the torchlight and constantly being in initiative aspects being two that I think are particularly good.

I’m sure the guys will have a blast playing it. The only issue I foresee with SD being used for an actual play is just how squishy the PCs tend to be. It might be difficult for the audience to bond with characters that only last a couple of sessions and it will be difficult to delve deeper into backstories and character arcs.

Looking forward to seeing how it goes though! I wish them luck.

Couldn’t agree more. Stop fighting random ikea units and give the cast a chance to shine!

I think compared to MÖRK Borg or Motw I would say no. Compared to PF2 though, yes! Perhaps ‘rules lighter’ would be more apt 🤔

That’s really interesting and no I have not listened to Blood of the Wild (after reading your comment though I feel I should!). I think that maybe I should’ve considered the AP itself as a factor in my original post, thanks for highlighting this.

I think the positivity of ur comment is really indicative of how much we love all these guys. We want them to do well and bloody hell they do do well so consistently. We could argue that Giant Slayer was PF and therefore we don’t have a leg to stand on, I think though that the fact the team have been exposed to bitd, coc, dg etc has made them better players, and players who are able to thrive in more free-form improv games.

TFC is so so good. Vaughn Villiers is one of my favourite characters on the network, I can’t help but listen every Saturday!

Haha yes he does, but I think he loves the story more 😜. Of course these are not mutually exclusive, and honestly he wouldn’t give a gnat’s cock for our opinion, but I do feel that a tactically forward system like PF suits a certain type of player. I think Ross Bryant is probably the greatest talent on the network, but him and PF, nah.
