Daniel, Jason and I will be going to ShireCon in September. I sat down with them to discuss what to consider when choosing to run a game at a con and what to do to prepare for it.

Jason (Nerd's RPG Variety Cast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/jason376/) focuses on a board game perspective while Daniel (Bandit's Keep: https://www.youtube.com/c/banditskeep) focuses on running an RPG session.

Also check out the Daniel's and KR King's Monsters & Treasure Podcast if you haven't already (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monsters-and-treasure/id1659703332)

It's been a while.... Thank you for sending your Ninja Cat Factions.

I reflect on a new Dexterity Game along with the Anchorite APA as well as Aragorn and his ranger-ness.

At the top is a message from Joe Richter of Hindsightless (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joe-richter9).

I've gotten several factions (THANKS!!!), but none of them villainous. I'm still open for more factions, even if they aren't bad:

• What is your faction like?
• What is your faction's main goal?
• How do you go about completing that goal?
• What means are at your disposal?
• What is your turf and hideout like?
• What do you use for security?

I answer my call-ins regarding what system to play Ninja Cats. I put this together in roughly the hour and a half. It's rough, and it shows, but I'm publishing it anyway, otherwise it might not get out at all.

What system would you use to run an espionage-style game of anthropomorphic, ninja cats in a fantasy, low-magic, feudal Japan?
