13th Age 64-1: Phishing for Pheia
Wednesday Apr 29, 2015
Wednesday Apr 29, 2015
The buoys, gulls, and otters of the Rogue Elements take an undersea vacation to recover the Pearl of the Ocean from their shaky ally, Mako Longfin. A seabed voyage proves more relaxing than grueling, but their arrival in the undersea capital of Pheia-- currently one big party-- marks another great opportunity for the team to get what they need via diplomacy and serious discussion rather than the usual skulduggery-- ah, just kidding, you know us too well. Once the Pearl is recovered, however, the party will be deeper in (new) enemy territory than ever before...

Ashen Stars Chat: Genre Emulation
Saturday Apr 11, 2015
Saturday Apr 11, 2015
Special guests Keith Carberry of Run Button and Friends at the Table and Phil Kollar of Polygon join us to discuss a somewhat reversed method of design, genre emulation. Genres, created as an ends to categorize media, can also be a powerful tool to give your game the feel it needs; the key lies in breaking your favorite genre down into the criteria that define it, then analyzing just what it is about those individual criteria you like so much. We present our favorite examples and test the theory out on two game sure to be the next big thing: Where's Waldo & Kevin RPG and Noir Swimmingly.
This episode expands upon topics first discussed in our episodes on Designing from Influences, Show Wrestling & Mechanics, and Feats 101. We also discussed Law's Out (with which we put together a harrowing tale) and Monsterhearts (with which we surely will soon).
