Show Notes

To tide us over til our next one-shot, here's a bonus episode where our host and GM Fiona chats to podcaster, game designer, and cultural consultant Daniel Kwan about his upcoming game: Wandering Blades.

Wandering Blades is a roleplaying game of violent, martial arts melodrama for 2-5 players. In this game, players take on the roles of highly skilled martial artists who wander the lands seeking to redress wrongs, help the downtrodden, and free the innocent from oppressive forces.

Using a streamlined system inspired by old-school renaissance products, Wandering Blades enables dynamic and lethal combat while empowering players to tell heroic and melodramatic stories inspired by Chinese wuxia media, Hong Kong action cinema, Japanese animation, and action video games.

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Dillin from One Shot Podcast for 'The Words We Leave Behind', a duet epistolary RPG about the butterfly effect, war, love and hate inspired by the novella, 'This Is How You Lose the Time War'.

Written and Designed by Craig Duffy of LunarShadow Design, each player takes on the role of a Proxy as they fight over a single strand of reality on behalf of an unseen Faction. As they are sent throughout time and space, the proxies will slowly change historical events to favour their own faction while entering into a back and forth correspondence with their opposite number.

As they do so they will learn about one another, building an emotional bond that may bring them together or drive them to destruction.

You can find out more information about 'The Words We Leave Behind', and Craig's other work on the LunarShadow Design website.

Note - this oneshot used the Ashcan rules. The finalised version may differ slightly.

Designed by Ethan Yen and James Quigley, Prequel is a tactical storytelling game of heroic sacrifice for 3-5 players.

You are the first group of Heroes that have reached the Evil that rules over the realm. The quest was difficult and full of sacrifice. Despite all this, victory will not meet you. However, the Heroes who come after you may still have a chance, provided you can pave the way.
