The GMS Magazine Podcast Episode 37 – X610Z: On the Ruins of Chaos

In this, bit later than usual, episode we have got a good for you.

Mark and I go head to head to discuss if Games Workshop is a good business or not. I don’t think they are a good business because they don’t do enough from a business point of view, and for their licensed products in general (not to mention their lack of contact with the general public). I don’t think they are bad, but they are not good either. Mark says they are because they make money and thus they do what they’re supposed to. But what do you think?

IYADWYADYWAGWYAG, or how to do more and better–Part 1. The authors.

Not long ago I asked James Desborough what could publishers and retailers do to increase the presence of games to the public. Or something similar. He did say that it is a big subject with a difficult answer to give, so I took it upon me to actually attempt to provide with some ideas and galvanise some people into doing things.

Review: Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands

Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands opens up with several pages dedicated to briefing a prospective GM on how to read and run the material within; from the anatomy of an encounter to the identification of treasure, these segments provide a concise crunchy rundown–and could well serve as cheat sheets for future reference, if one were so inclined. Along with the table of stat blocks organized by challenge rating is also included a rather keen bit of poetry in reference to the Shadowed Keep itself–a nice bit of extra fluff for the adventure!

Annalise: Stories of Pain, Hunger and Redemption

I met Nathan D. Paoletta in 2011 when I was living in Chicago. We shared a few beers and I had a peak at his insightful thinking and his wits. Sharp, I can tell you! Later on I proceeded to back his Kickstarter project and I was really pleased I did. But that’s for another review. So when I found, literally by chance, Annalise when I visited Conception 2012, I just had to have it. And I haven’t regretted it!
