For the first time, Skip Intro goes to The Paris Theater in Manhattan to sit down with Rebecca Ferguson who stars as Captain Olivia Walker in A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE . Directed by Oscar-winning Kathryn Bigelow, the film was screened this month at the historic 535-seat theater — NYC’s longest-running arthouse cinema. Ferguson shares what it was like to read the powerful script written by Noah Oppenheim and how working with Bigelow was unlike any other experience on set. The Mission Impossible actor also talks about jumping off the roof of the Vienna State Opera with Tom Cruise, Denis Villeneuve’s love of veils and jingle jangles in Dune , and teases Netflix’s upcoming Peaky Blinders movie with Cillian Murphy. Video episodes available on Still Watching Netflix YouTube Channel. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…

Welcome to Game Mechanics, a show about Tabletop Roleplaying Games from lots of different perspectives. I’m Logan Jenkins. Today, I’m talking to Marx Shepherd, an indy TTRPG creator, and member of the San Jenaro Co-Op, an organization that puts out a quarterly games digest collectively created by all its members. When Marx reached out to me, they were quick to point out that the co-op wears its communist mindset and values on its sleeve. I was interested in finding out how the Co-op works together to create these digests every three months, and how communism factors in. The conversation was incredibly interesting and I can’t wait to share it with you, so let’s get to it!

Welcome to Game Mechanics, a show about Tabletop Roleplaying Games from lots of different perspectives. I’m Logan Jenkins. Today, I’m talking to Rees Bennett, also known as Sister Evelyn Tensions of the Grenville Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The Sisters are an order of drag nuns whose entire mission is to increase joy and decrease shame in the world. Rees puts on makeup, jewelry, and the Greenville sisters’ Habit, and transforms into Evelyn multiple times a week. I know Rees IRL, and I know he’s a little hesitant about RPGs in general, and I wanted to know more about that, and about the parallels between playing a character in a game, and playing Evelyn. This is a really different perspective on the hobby than I’ve featured before, and I’m so excited for you to hear it! A quick note on audio quality: Rees’ mic was picking up some rustling noises (I think from his beard.) I tried to limit that as much as possible, but you will definitely hear some of it. The audio is still totally listenable, just wanted to let you know what that sound was! Alright, let’s get to it!

منذ 6 years36:30

36:30

Welcome to Game Mechanics, a show about Tabletop Roleplaying Games from lots of different perspectives. I’m Logan Jenkins. Today, I’m talking to Sean Gomes, writer of Uncharted Worlds, a Powered by the Apocalypse TTRPG. I am a total Sean Gomes fanboy. There’s a mechanic in UW called “Cramped Quarters;” when the characters are stuck together for a long time (like for space travel) they roll to see whether they had some bad blood, a moment of friendship, or a revelation about a character’s past. I mean it when I say that “Cramped Quarters” has changed the way I play ALL my games. I bring that move to every game I GM, and it succeeds so well at establishing characters as real people with real relationships to their teammates (something I think is sorely lacking in a lot of games.) Sean’s main gig is as an animator in the video games industry, and it shows in his answers. Lots of very different angles for answers to my questions. I’m so excited to share this conversation with you, so let’s get to it! Oh! And, weirdly, this conversation took place before quarantine… so we make some references to being trapped inside for weeks as a “what if” scenario… that is of course happening right now to all of us… weird times. Just a heads-up that it comes up.

Today, I’m talking to Androgynous Android Gameshow Host from the Future, Nathan Blades. I wanted to talk to him about one-page RPGs and games as permission. His one-page RPG Agents of H.U.E. is about queer spies using gadgets to solve very silly mysteries. Basically, a very gay version of Austin Powers. We talk about that, the strength of brevity in RPGs, imposter syndrome as a creator and a DM, saying “f*** the tabletop police,” and way more!

منذ 6 years42:05

Welcome to Game Mechanics, a show about Tabletop Roleplaying Games from lots of different perspectives. I’m Logan Jenkins. Today, I’m talking to Sean McCoy. Sean is one of the co-founders of Tuesday Knight Games, and the designer, writer, layout artist, and illustrator of Mothership, a sci-fi horror TTRPG that won the 2019 Ennie for best game! Sean is also lead designer on other Tuesday Knight Games, which makes Sean an expert on both TTRPG and boardgames design. That’s why I wanted to talk to him. I started this conversation thinking it was going to be about the difference between board game and RPG mechanics, but it blossomed into designing games generally, graphic design philosophy for games, remembering that players have brains, and more. It’s not overselling it to say that this conversation changed the way I think about game design. I hope you get some of the same sort of revelations from listening in. Let’s get to it!

S1E2 - Jess Ross - Writing for TTRPGs 31:49

Today, I’m talking to Jess Ross about her experience writing for RPGs. Jess has written several modules for D&D in places like the Uncaged Anthology, and in Pugmire (a variation of D&D 5th edition where everyone plays as dogs! She wrote for the supplement Morti Corgi’s Scroll of Mysteries, and just everything about that game is adorable.) We also talk about a problematic aspect of TTRPGs that is somehow still a staple in tons of games. And we discuss Jess’ current work on a neat project called Multiverse which will help adventure writers and players everywhere to share and experience cool stories.

Riley Hopkins - Interstitial and the Link System 28:28

Today, I’m talking to Riley Hopkins about their game, Interstitial; a game about worlds colliding in the vein of Kingdom Hearts, Crisis on Infinite Earths, or Into The Spiderverse. Interstitial is available right now at LinksmithGames.com . Interstitial, like Kingdom Hearts, puts a focus on relationships at the heart of the game. Which brings me to my favorite part of the game, the link system, in which players can make a link with any character in the game to flesh out how the characters feel about each other. The links are one of 4 types: Light if you view the person as a friend, mastery if you think there’s something you can learn from that person, heart if there’s something you can learn about yourself from observing the person, and dark if you view the person as a rival. The links you make during the game can be spent to gain re-rolls, meaning in order to make success more likely for yourself, you’ll need to make it a priority to make relationships with as many people as you can. That’s why links are my favorite. They bridge the gap between role play and game. I go much more in-depth with this discussion in my talk with Riley.
