Fonzie’s Razor – A Norwescon 40 Live Recorded Panel

Here it is at last! The final leg of our three part Norwescon series. Hopefully Norwescon will let us do it again in 2018! This final panel is about Fonzie’s Razor: All things being equal, the coolest answer is the correct answer, even if that means the GM is wrong.

GMing From the Hip – A Norwescon 40 Live Recorded Panel

At long last the second installment of our three part Norwescon series!  Operating Systems were reinstalled, files were lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters, but here it is!  Special thanks to Chuck for the kick in the butt necessary to get this next episode published.  This panel is about GMing without a plan.  Join us and our fabulous panelists:

Podcast: Superhero Games

Come on!  Who doesn’t love a ridiculous amount of personal power?  But is great responsibility really a necessary component of the whole power deal?  I mean… we already know you can get responsibility a la carte…  In this episode Troy and Jacob don their skin-tight body suits and explore the Superhero genre of RPGs.  Shticks, team dynamics, game balance, system reviews, and amusing anecdotes.  This podcast is truly AMAZING!!

Podcast: Setting

Where are you?  What do you see around you?  Are you in a castle?  A bowling alley?  A dystopic future scape?  Where your characters find themselves is an important element to think about when planning to run a game.  Should you do some research on a specific historic period or will you be safe winging it?  Join Troy and Jacob as they outline their thoughts, opinions, personal biases, and issues with various game settings (as always with a healthy dose of goofballery)!
