Our team of Actioneers continues to pursue their objectives and deliver on their KPIs. The Halloween party on the HR floor is, well no longer lively and the Company Co. snack table has left them wanting something...juicier.

What's the scariest place you could possibly be this weekend? If you guessed stuck in a corporate office, you are correct.

Season 3 Episode 16 - Making Solo Games with Hypnos
Saturday Oct 15, 2022
Saturday Oct 15, 2022
I talk a lot about how Tabletop RPGs are a collaborative storytelling experience. Friends around a table, whether physical or virtual, rolling dice and telling a story together. But maybe you don't know anyone who wants to game with you, or sometimes you can't get your friends together, or perhaps you'd rather just spend some time telling a story on your own. Whatever the reason you find yourself wanting or needing to roll some dice on your own, there is no shortage to Solo Tabletop RPGs.
Today I'm joined by the solo RPG game designer Jordan a.k.a. Hypnos to talk share his advice for crafting your own Solo RPG. We talk about the importance of theme, setting, structure, character archetypes and how to leave room for a player to create their own narrative but without just handing over a sandbox for one person to play around in.
If you want to hear more from Jordan you can follow him on Twitter @MichanikoMcleod or check out his games on itch https://michanikos.itch.io/

Game Masters not just creators of stories, we are also enjoyers of stories. And with so many great stories that have been told throughout the history of humanity it's inevitable that you're going to find other stories that inspire you, stories you want to bring to your table and share with your friends.
Today I'm joined by Kate the Master Teacher over on "Of Mice And Men And Monsters" who shares the insight's she's gained from bringing works of literature to her table. OMAMAM has played through several classic works and Kate and the party as well do a great job of adapting these stories in such a way that they feel true to the source but are also their own "Twist" on the story. And we're here to provide advice, examples, and insights on how to effectively adapt the stories you like into your Tabletop games.
Want to hear more from Kate and crew? Check out their podcast here or follow them on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok by searching @OMAMAMShow.

Friday Sep 09, 2022
Friday Sep 09, 2022
The Big Bad Evil Guy is a tried and true trope. No matter what story your game is telling there is going to be someone or something that is working against your players. Someone to personify the forces of evil; some nefarious creature out to cause havoc and destruction; Or maybe one character's dad is just an asshole. But how do you make the BBEG interesting? What makes for a compelling villain? Can my players smooch my villains?
Well today I'm joined by Aubrey and Aki, the creative force behind Goblets and Gays and Animam Agere, to answer all those questions and more. From fighting Jeff Bezos to dealing with family trauma we've got tons of tricks you can use to create compelling characters that oppose your players.
If you want to hear and see more from Aubrey and Aki you can check them out on Goblets and Gays, Animam Agere, and Wayward Arcadium by following the links here or catch them on Bring Your Own MechFollow Aubrey everywhere on social media @MadQueenCosplay Follow Aki everywhere on social media @akinomii_art
