Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
Sid and Ray have a long and lovely discussion about each others work.
This was something of an experimental episode. Both of us make games, and both of us interview folks, so we thought we’d interview each other. It was a fun time, but it did lead to a long episode.
Sit back and enjoy this cool experiment. Continue reading “IQH presents a 2 act interview”

Oracle is a future telling role playing game. Using special cards the Oracle and Travellers attempt to divine what the coming adventure will bring. How they will try and overcome challenges. And what their ultimate fate shall be.
We tried out Oracle with only 1 Traveller and liked the results. If you liked listening to it, you can get a copy of this cool game from Ash McAllan; here
The final episode of our mini playtest with Alex and Ryan.

Our pilots run their newly improved mechs through their paces. The ground crews engage in some bonding. And then everything burns.

It’s time for the second session of our first Playtest of LLD.
This week we look at more of the moves, Go on a mission, and confront a powerful enemy. This session is closer in format to what we envision a typical game of LLD to look like.
Also; it has Banshees.
Content Warning: this episode includes a gruesome death, mass graves, and the grief caused by both.

Alex and Ryan join Ray, for a mini-playtest campaign of Live.Love.Die. a new mecha romance RPG that Ray is writing. In this session we take a look at character creation, setting generation, and get into some combat.
We hope you all enjoy this 3 part series of Live.Love.Die.
We had occasion to talk to game designer, and fellow interviewer; Brie Sheldon. We talked about what motivates them to create, why they interview people, and Brie even gave us some ideas for Two Sided Quest!
We also tried out some slight modifications to our intro.
We’re playing Dungeon World again, and honestly it’s a delight. Character creation, Setting generation, and picking a quest! All of that and a little bit more, in this session zero episode with Ellery, Fin, and Ray.
Ben is a Maltese-Australian game designer with a background in video game design; but he also makes RPGs. We had him on to talk about his history, his process, and some of his games. It was a blast and we can’t wait to play Ben’s stuff.
If you’d like to see more from Ben, he’s provided us with a list of links!
The finale of our adventures in Monsterhearts, for a little while at least.
We had a discussion about our feelings on the game at the end of the episode rather than write up reflections; cause this was a short campaign.
No new episode of the podcast on the 28th, as we will be on vacation.
