Terrible Warriors

This summer we’re taking time away from playing our games to meet the people who make our games and lead our communities.

Tomas Härenstam is the CEO of Free League Games and the director behind Tales from the Loop, it's sequel game Things from the Flood, and the lead designer for Forbidden Lands. 

At the 19th ENnie Awards, Free League walked away with six medals (Silver - Best Art, Interior: Symbaroum Monster Codex; Gold – Best Cartography: Forbidden Lands; Gold – Best Layout and Design: Symbaroum Monster Codex; Gold – Best Production Values: Forbidden Lands; Silver – Best Rules: Forbidden Lands; Silver – Product of the Year: Forbidden Lands) and the morning after Justin sat down with Tomas at the Free League Games booth in exhibition hall of GenCon to talk about their success and their plans for the future including what to expect in the newly announced Alien The RPG.

This summer we’re taking time away from playing our games to meet the people who make our games and lead our communities. Who is James Mendez Hodes? He’s the kind of person where, if you’re in a hallway of game designers and community leaders, he’s the one they say you should talk to right now and record the entire conversation.

Mendez (he/him) is a game designer, martial artist, cultural consultant, professional game master, writer, editor, and poet whom you might know from role-playing games such as 7th Sea, Scion, and Thousand Arrows; or from essays like “Orcs, Britons, and the Martial Race Myth” and “May I play a character from another race?” He has an academic background in West African religion, Eastern classics, dance, and English literature. His interests include hip hop, weird invertebrates, and collecting stuffed animals. He lives in the greater New York metropolitan area on traditional Lenape land.

He runs games, he writes games, he writes about running games.

We haphazardly collided into Lucian Khan in the hallways of BreakoutCon and thankfully we had our field recorder on hand and made sure to commit our conversation to tape!

Visigoths vs Mallgoths will be kickstarting in October and if you want to be alerted to when that happens be sure to sign up to be alerted by email by signing up at: eepurl.com/dFcKEH

You can follow Lucian on Twitter (and you really should!) at @oh_theogony

For 300 years the Forbidden Lands, as they are now known, has been oppressed by the Blood Mist, a deadly element that will kill anyone not in their homes at night time. And now, for no apparent reason, the Blood Mist is gone and adventurers return to the land to seek out it's treasure, it's secrets, and it's hidden power.  Departing from the hospitality of the Hollows, our adventurers track a group of treasure hunters to the ruins of Weatherstone. They say a king lies there in rest with treasures not touched for hundreds of years. But the dead don't part with their possessions so easily in the Forbidden Lands...  Jo, Leon, Scott, and Lovina join GM Justin to fight for their lives in Free League Games' Forbidden Lands

And now, for no apparent reason, the Blood Mist is gone and adventurers return to the land to seek out it's treasure, it's secrets, and it's hidden power.  Surviving the wilderness, we arrive at the town of The Hollows. A seemingly peaceful settlement built on the remnants of an ancient graveyard. When your neighbours are the dead you learn to keep your secrets to yourself...  Jo, Leon, Scott, and Lovina join GM Justin to explore the landscape of Free League Games' Forbidden Lands

Six years after our first Pokemon Tabletop adventure began we're returning for one more absurd romp through the tall grass.  This isn't a tournament, it's a death trap!  Zapdos vs Zapdos. Childhood friend vs Childhood friend. Maniacal Cult Leader vs Subservient Underling. Friendships will be tested, rivals will be rivaled, and at the end of this hour we'll all ask ourselves the same question "why are we doing this"?

This Pokemon RPG is played using Fiasco! Julian, Cassie, Orie, Bre, and Justin are all back together in Rocket Resistance: Aftermath
