RPG Mainframe

This episode has me hollerin' about my ups and downs creating the new supers supplement for ICRPG... VIGILANTE CITY. It was a wacky road, but as always, let's find ways to ENJOY our creative projects and let go of expectations and baggage.

Know where you came from! I realized while playing Chrono Trigger that almost all my ideas come from that wonderful game in some form. This isn't a bummer, but a new wellspring of creative renewal. Join me for a spirited report of my recent playthrough and deep-think.

Your mind, and its ability to apply itself, see new possibilities, and be truly authentic is the key to your creativity. Join me in this special episode to explore three ancient methods to enhance your mind, and more importantly : YOU. 

Why are we so engrossed in this glorious hobby? What is it we truly seek? Let's look within for answers, and take it seriously.

Our hobby is evolving at a crazy rate these days, and yet I see so many tables swirling in a confusing morass of slow play, burdensome math, and lopsided player attention. Rally with me to a better future!

I take a moment to ponder the future, and how language impacts my game.

In this episode, inspired by THE ORDER OF THE AMBER DIE, I dive into tracking stats in your game, and how it can lead you to a THESIS on the improvements you've been craving. 

5 sessions of bone crushing action into my new at-home table game, and things have gone bonkers. Come hang out, I take a minute to catch you up on every detail of how I planned it, and what happened despite those plans!

This episode of Mainframe goes deep on how the 'plan 1 night at a time' method works, if ICRPG is suited to long term play, and how campaigns can ever be published when they are so dynamic.

I take an episode to talk about my compact sci-fi PDF adventure: The Mercury Dale.
