Show004: Kickers and Bangs

It’s only been a week, and here’s another show. It’s still got some of the warble-iness. I can’t figure out what’s causing it. I think I’ve got some kind of hard to trace system interrupt conflict. There maybe one more show before I have a solution for the problem. I then may slowly go back and rerecord all the shows. I’m getting a little more used to the schizophrenic dissonance caused by talking to yourself in your closet. Hopefully that means I can go back and make everything a little cleaner sounding and clearer.

Section 1: Introduction

I say hi. There’s no feedback as I recorded this show right after Show003.

Section 2: Kickers and Bangs

I discuss Kickers, which are a way to kick off a campaign with player created problems. Then I discuss Bangs which are a way to run a campaign by creating problems and moral dilemmas with no chosen outcome. Bangs are a method that let you run a game that is interesting and creates a story without trying to pre-produce a definitive plot. Some of my examples are stolen from Ron Edwards who coined both these terms.
