By listener request, Jason is continuing to branch out into the wider world of hobby gaming. Ken Pickering and Garett Kopczynski from Reverie Studios stop by the show to chat about an upcoming, super awesome Live Action Role Play (LARP) they are organizing called Saturnalia. This is based on an ancient cultural festival involving, among other things, vampires! Players will be walking around the streets of New Orleans for a weekend, getting into adventures and celebrating collaborative storytelling.

Ken and Garett share their experiences designing and executing this LARP. This conversation focuses on how to construct an experience for maximum collaborative fun. They discuss game mechanisms to foster trust and insure consent. They also have some thoughts about how to deal with "alpha players", which is something cooperative board gamers know quite well!

Tickets are still available to this amazing event - https://vampirelarp.com/the_saturnalia_event.html

Jason chats with Gabe Barrett about Robomon, the map book-based adventure game of tactical combat, open world exploration, and collecting cute robots!

Jason continues the conversation with Dr. Patrick Rael from Bowdoin College and the Ludica blog on BGG. We discuss the meaning of a historical game, what they are and what they are not, and how games get it wrong. In essence, history games should present counterfactuals. They should allow us to imagine and game out different ways that history could have gone. When a "history" game does not do that, it can fall in to the pit traps that I have identified on many other Good Trouble shows.

Dr. Patrick Rael from Bowdoin College and the Ludica blog on BGG rejoins the show to get wonky about history in games! In Part One of our exploration, we discuss whether war games indeed tell better history than Euro games. Dr. Rael believes that is the current state of things, but it does not have to be so.

Jason Furie from Backerkit joins the show to share about an exciting new initiative in crowdfunding! We're used to Kickstarter being the main home for crowdfunded projects. Backerkit has been in the game for 10 years as a pledge manager and providing other services, so they are now making the leap to provide an alternative that emphasizes listening and a ground-up approach. Jason gets into building community, listening to creators, upcoming projects from Cephalophair Games, Greater Than Games, Restoration Games, and more!

Famed game designer Bruno Faidutti joins the show for a civil discussion about our different perspectives as gamers and game creators. We discuss the differences between American and European tastes and sensibilities, how things have changes over the years, and how different gamers get different messages when they engage with a game on the table. This was a wide ranging and interesting conversation between two people who don't see the world in quite the same way, but who were able to find some common ground. I hope this serves as a model for similar types of conversations in our hobby moving forward.
