Shadow of the GM: Interview; Actual Play coming soon!

Bygamingballistic

As part of a run-up to an actual-play podcast by Shadow of the GM, he first looked around for a setting, and much to my delight, he chose Nordlond and the Dungeon Fantasy RPG as its base.

Naturally, I was thrilled, and offered to help in any way; he asked if we could chat for a bit, and the resulting interview is below.

We chat about Delvers to Grow, some TFT stuff, Nordlond, etc. It’s a good chat, and we both talk fast so there’s a lot there. Give a listen!

Still,…

Bygamingballistic

+Peter V. Dell’Orto , +Mark Langsdorf , +Christopher R. Rice , and +Jason Packer have been dutifully adding to the tally of posts in the Melee Academy and GURPS 101 sections, which is awesome.

We follow the underground pathway for a bit longer, and eventually come to a small building area known as Crossroads. We’re met by a gnome in armor, with a golem of some sort, 10′ tall or so. For moral support.   They discover (because we tell them) that they’ve come home, to Crossroads. A celebration…
