Episode 127: Emergent Play
On the cast we talk a lot about how detail about the characters, the world or the theme come out during play, what is called emergence. We take this episode to talk directly about that aspect of gaming.
Episode 126: Ensemble Casts
When gamers sit down around a table with a bunch of characters and start playing the game, the stories that come out of it can take a variety of different paths. With this in mind, we delve in to the nature of the ensemble cast, and what it means at the table: what characteristics and aspects come out, how do the character stories develop, and how different games handle different types of inter-PC relationships.
Episode 125: Co-operative Boardgames
We talk about our favourite cooperative boardgames, and some of the design and play characteristics of these games
Episode 124: Triggering the Mechanics
Deciding how and when the mechanical aspects of a game should be used can be a complex topic. Even with newer games providing clearer guidelines as to what should trigger mechanics, there’s often a decision to do just that. We hijack this episode with a discussion of how that choice shakes down, and how different games provide different guidance and methodology
Episode 121: Character Arcs (Narrative Techniques)
Character arcs are the overall flow of how a character develops during a story. These can be applied to gaming, but in the cast we find that the application can be problematic. We talk a lot about our AP of Apocalypse World, which can be found on our website or on our RSS feed.

Bonus AP: Apocalypse World Part 3
Players: Joe, Megan, Timo, Todd This is the next session of our AW game as another bonus AP. Enjoy! Or don’t. A few notes: 1) My buddy Joseph sat in on the game. Sometimes he talks. That’s the extra voice you hear. 2) Last session we named Gams’ watcher “Doghead.” We forgot we did that [...]
Episode 119: Perspective (Narrative Techniques)
Perspective is an interesting thing that affects how we view situations and scenarios. By playing with how things are described or revealed it’s possible to highlight different aspects of the game in some pretty fascinating ways.

Actual Play: Apocalypse World – The Leviathan
We’re currently playing a game of Apocalypse world set on a zeppelin called “The Leviathan,” travelling between locations in an Empire recently risen to power by exploiting the psychic powers of brainers, all under an endless cloud-cover sky. This is the third session of that game, showing the rescue of a crew member from the clutches of the Empire and the aftermath.
