This week we welcome Kyle Skarp, better known as "Skarpie" on various Discord servers. We talk about the wonderful supplement for Genesys that he co-authored with Scott Zumwalt, called "Hell is Full" along with ways to take pieces of it and turn up the gritty and deadly in other Genesys settings!

This week we bring you an interview with creator Todd Crapper of Broken Ruler games about his recent release, Pandora: Total Destruction. It's an interesting take on the "Supers" genre, and has some interesting things to say as well. We also go into some things Todd learned while writing this game, and how it shaped what the game now is.

We're ringing in the New Year with a chat with independent RPG creator Gavriel Quiroga. He currently has a game called Hell Night on Kickstarter (ends Jan 22, 7AM US Eastern time), as well as having written both Neurocity, and Warpland. We talk a bit about his previous two projects, as well as what we can expect from Hell Night, and he even lets us in on what he's moving on to next! And you really should go check these games out, they're excellent!

This week the Steves are joined by Tony and Dave from 23rd Century Productions to talk about their game Battlelords of the 23rd Century. It's a sci-fi, space, military game set in a corporate-controlled future. Not only have they released an updated new edition fairly recently, they have a Kickstarter live for a supplement (http://bit.ly/FAKickstart), and they are also working on an adaptation of the setting to the Savage Worlds ruleset!
So come learn with us about a fun, darkly humorous game of sci-fi action!

This week the Steves have a talk about playing "sub-optimally"!
It's a conversation about a different way to look at playing rpgs, and just maybe a way you can add a different layer of enjoyment to your table.

As what is likely a wrap to our dark/gritty/horror mini-series for October, and now a little beyond, we were extremely fortunate to be joined by Chris Spivey of Darker Hue Studios, to talk about the games he's written, namely Harlem Unbound (in 2 editions) and Haunted West.
Not only is Chris a game designer and developer, but (as we learn) he's also a HUGE fan of history. He's on a mission to make gaming both fun and informative, and from the bits he dropped about Haunted West, I can confidently say this is a game that both us Steves intend to pick up very, very soon!

This month we've been talking about dark and horrific games. But, they're not always the easiest games to run, so, in an effort to help all of you learn how to run these games better (and ourselves too), we sat down with Kenneth Hite to pick his brain and experience on ways to run horror games, and to run horror games better.
For those unfamiliar, Ken has been playing, running, and writing horror games for the last 40 years or so, and has writing credits on an astounding number of game books, including GURPS Horror (4th ed), Nights Black Agents, Vampire 5th Edition, and Fall of Delta Green.
Ken also is the co-host of "Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff" a fabulous rpg (and related) podcast.
