discussing story, system, and what makes RPGs tick…
As game masters and writers, we want to expose how narratives and mechanics influence each other, shaping the outcomes of our games. Sometimes we will include one shot Actual-Plays to demonstrate different systems or methods of play, and have various guests join in the discussion.
Episode 7: Zhenya’s wonder tales, interview and actual play
This is an auxiliary episode highlighting an exciting new story game from Bully Pulpit Games, Zhenya's Wonder Tales, a GMless rpg driven by cards to tell grim slavic-inspired fairy tales. We do our first interview with the game designer, Jason Morningstar - prolific designer of Fiasco, Shab-al-hiri Roach, and Gray Ranks, among others.
