108: What’s so Fun About Horror with Bridgett Jefferies
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
As a sort of 'closer' to Spooky-month, we sat down to chat with Bridgett Jeffries about just what it is that makes horror gaming fun for those who enjoy it.For those who don't know, Bridgett is an amazing, and amazingly fun person. She's a podcast host, streamer, writer, and a community ambassador for Chaosium.
We talk about what got us started in gaming, how we got interested in horror gaming specifically, some tips on running horror games, and have a whole lotta laughs in the process.
*ALSO CORRECTION* The Delta Green scenario talked about is actually called "Last Things Last" and is included in the Delta Green quickstart, which is called "Need to Know".
If you're interested in hearing or seeing more of Bridgett's work she can be found on the Miskatonic University Podcast -- http://www.mu-podcast.com/ , or links to her streaming, etc can be found at the Symphony Entertainment website -- https://www.symphonyentertainment.com/ .

91: Running Star Wars (part II) with GM Hooly
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
Because you can never have enough Star Wars RPG content (and because Steve just couldn't get left out of the conversation), Hooly is back with another episode talking about running games in the Star Wars universe!
We talk a little bit about using other systems to play in Star Wars, and some talk about what makes a story feel like Star Wars.
Because it gets mentioned a time or 2, and because it's such a great resource, here's a link to Wookiepedia. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page
