The Gauntlet Gaming Community, which produces this podcast, is launching its very first Kickstarter on October 2nd! We're raising money to create a beautiful hardcover book collecting the first 13 issues of our zine, Codex. This special podcast episode features Lowell Francis and Jason Cordova discussing the history and development of the zine, the Kickstarter campaign, and the future of The Gauntlet community. It's a fantastic conversation. Enjoy!
Another episode where Rach and Rich answer questions from listeners about playing PbtA games Time Codes: 1:06 - From James Mullen: if the Moves I've picked from a playbook turn out to be sub-optimal for where the story is going, what should I do? Stick with them, ask the MC if I can select new Moves or ask the MC to shift the story so that I can use the Moves I've picked? 8:22 - From David LaFreniere: How should players best facilitate their characters interacting in a hostile way? Follow up, how can the MC help facilitate or, if the game situation/system seems appropriate, encourage players to have their characters engage in hostile ways? 18:20 - From Marc-Alexandre Dube - What materials could the player use to easily organize the information about the character. PbtA abstracts a lot of things, but most moves from most playbooks are a case of "specific over general". Which mean (you'd need to) memorize all the chosen playbook moves on top of the general moves (and the special moves). 27:41 - Marshall Miller asked several questions! 28:03 - What are the best PbtA games for kids? 30:07 - Which are the best PbtA games for PbF? 33:10 - What's the best PbtA game for 1 player + 1 MC? 39:41 - What's the best PbtA game for a large group (e.g. 8+)?
