There’s mention of Tom Barbalet of My Rules are Better too. And David Surman’s amazing illustration. Thanks all! Do get in touch. Barney

Thoughts on running Alluvial Plains at Kraken con...

More on the development of the Alluvial Plains RPG...

Barney considers dice pools with the help of Pete, Colin, Jason and Spencer. Thanks everyone!

Barney discusses the latest playtests of Alluvial Plains, including starting a regular school group. This means extended, campaign play! And he reports on the success of the tribe creation and character creation processes. Jason opens the show.

Barney rolls and ruminates his way through ICRPG’s prehistoric Blood and Snow setting.

Barney gives a brief overview of the Vantage RPG system he has been working on that feeds into the prehistoric Alluvial Plains setting being developed with Spencer @ Keep Off the Borderlands and David Surman. Towards the end he discusses the virtues of the micro and minimalist RPG mindset which he aspires to follow.

The first episode dedicated to reporting on the progress of the Vantage RPG system and the prehistoric Alluvial Plains setting being developed with Spencer @ Keep off the Borderlands and David Surman. Thanks to Jason @ Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast, ShandyAndy @ Unguarded Treasure, RFED, Jim, Emi and Peter.

Barney reports on holiday gaming, playing in Griff Mon Morgan III’s OD&D adventure, Tom Barbalet’s Just Plain Chaos and recommends Cabo, Wizard and Century: Spice Road. Then he discusses working on Vantage/Alluvial Plains and playtesting the Brexit card game he’s designed with his son.

Barney tests the Anchor 60 minute limit to voice recordings to discuss a partial shift in his thinking from homebrewing to playtesting. He offers some vignettes of recent experiences playing in Dave Aldridge’s and Tom Barbalet’s RPGs and playing Barry Sawada Tucker’s skirmish game, Periphery. He then talks about his recent steps to widen playtests of his own system, Vantage.
