Happy Christmas! There is no normal episode this week, because it's Christmas Eve today and we are with our families, rather than arguing over our mics. To make up for our absence on your feeds, here is a bonus show. People enjoyed the peek into our deign process that we released a month ago and asked if there was more. There is - this second hour of discussion from our very first design meeting follows on from where the last bonus episode finished, as we are talking about talents. We had of course discussed the idea on the phone previously, and by text, but this was the first time we actually sat down at a table together to talk about the games principles and start to get into the nitty gritty of mechanics. At that point it was an adaptation of Forbidden Lands, so you will hear a lot of chat in that context. Over the years (Patrons have just received playtest version 6) it has moved away from its Forbidden Lands roots while remaining a Year Zero Engine game.
We hope to be making a big announcement next year about a kickstarter for our Tales of the Old West TTRPG. We have a number of ducks to get a a row first.

We are sorry we missed our usual episode last week. Our intention had been to record an episode during MCM Comic Con London, but we ended up working too hard to make too few sales to do anything other than eat and sleep of an evening. Normal service will be resumed next weekend, and will include some Comic Con related content.
To make up for our absence on your feeds, here is a bonus show, actually something that was a Patreon exclusive when we first shared it three and a half years ago. We hope to be making a big announcement next year about a kickstarter for our Tales of the Old West TTRPG. We have a number of ducks to get a a row first, but to whet your appetites here is a recording of our very first design meeting.

Woah! We get an exciting scoop about when the Kickstarter for the new edition of The One Ring is going to be announced, plus how its different from the first edition, and how Free League was one of the few companies that didn't make an approach when Cubicle 7 dropped the game, and how they eventually played a blinder to tackle it away from a third company!

As a podcast that started talking about the Third Horizon in Coriolis, new GMs often ask us “where do I start?” But Coriolis is the youngest setting in this discussion. Runequest’s Glorantha, by contrast, is over four decades old. So we have brought together experts in four much loved settings, to talk about how to break down any barriers and start having fun.
Recorded at UKGE Virtually Expo 2020, the panel is chaired by co-host Matthew and features:
B. Dave Walters is a revolutionary content creator and storyteller. Known for playing Victor Temple on Vampire the Masquerade: LA by Night, he is the writer of Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish for IDW comics.
Jeff Richard is Vice President and Creative Director for Chaosium. He is the lead author of the Guide to Glorantha, HeroQuest Glorantha, and RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, as well as numerous other supplements and articles. Jeff has been the creative director and editor-in-chief of all things Glorantha since 2008.
Mattias Johnsson Haake, director of two of Free League’s settings: Symbaroum’s Davokar and Coriolis’ Third Horizon
Anjuli Smith, by day marketeer for Aconyte’s range of game-related novels, by night the streamer known only as GeekGirlBookworm
There a a couple of strange moments, the first when B.Dave mouths a silent denial and then confirmation about the existence of the supernatural. Then, at the end only B.Dave appears to plug anything. The others got their chance too, but plugged what as going on at UKGE which is long gone now.

Its been a whole year since we last heard from our prisoners, Salem, Salah and Yaphet, on the mysterious prison planet. So, we start off this episode reminding ourselves what happened back then as much for our benefit as for our listeners. Then the first half of this episode consists of the last half hour of the previous session last year, which wasn't included in the 'cast, then we move on to with the first half hour of the latest session. There is lots of in character discussion in the episode, with perhaps just one dice roll...
If you want to go back and listen to the original recordings of the last session, you will find them here.

Its a bit like the finals of Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing with the Stars in the US), but with fewer professional dancers, and considerably less Paso Doble.
Hmmm I wonder if they could so a Paso Doble on their Hollywood special episode, but a woman as Ripley and the guy in a Xeno suit?

Which is surely kind of, you know ... having sex with a paralysed body? I only turned it into an MP3, and I have this uncomfortable taste in my mouth.

00:55:50 When Dave and the players discuss the obscenity they have wrought. Personally I think we should never speak of it again.

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★With their band of hired muscle at their backs, Gormer sneaks into the Rust Brother Toll station to reconnoiter.
Lets be honest here - combat does not make the most thrilling listening, even if at the table, its exciting for the players (and sometimes it isn't even exciting for them), but with Forbidden Lands the combat is, at least, short.
Then comes divvying the loot - such as it is.
We might have edited the action, maybe added some sound effects, but it has always been our philosophy to present the game as played, to reveal the pauses while we look up rules, and decisions we make, as players and GM, as well as characters. We don't want to be Critical Role - we are sharing our home games, inviting you as listener to sit with us round the table.

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★Dave and Matthew are sitting down even as this goes live to start running taster sessions of the Alien RPG on the Free League stand at UK Games Expo. Not everyone who wants to at UKGE will be able to play, and of course most of our listeners probably can't get to Birmingham, so here is a special gift.
In preparation for the taster sessions Dave and I ran Alien for our home groups. I ran Chariot of the Gods and didn't record that (spoilers), but Dave ran a couple of the sessions that we are going to be running at UKGE. Its only on a single omni-mic and in a pub, but I have cleaned up the audio and it sounds pretty good. Listen to this and it will be just like* being there!

Isembold, Gormer and Tengrail search the bodies of the slavers they defeated for some meagre pickings, then continue their journey. They get caught in the rain, and seeing a Gryphon about to attack, seek shelter in a ruined tower. They meet the Roka Orcs that they had been trying to avoid there, and realise that the tower is actually the Gryphon's nest.

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★Matthew takes issue with the whole concept of NPCs. Dave reminds him that we have only a few minutes. We talk about Mariko, Bobby Rashid’s wife in Dave’s Serenity RPG campaign, and Charles Bennet-Smythe*, the PC who became an NPC, although controlled by his player. (See what I mean Dave!? There is no such thing as an NPC!!)
Apropos Charles Bennet-Smyth, we also claim the “Evil Hat stole our idea” and published The Ministry – a Fate World of Adventure.
