“Like Lake Wobegon, but written by a better version of H.P. Lovecraft”

IPMM 65: AW New Sodom Episode 6

“Lively to the Rescue!”

In this episode, we have unlikely heroes, likely villains, and a lot of tense action.  Some of Silver’s debts come due, Man starts his recovery, Susan learns how bodies are disposed of at the Gold Mine (and also that his systems don’t always agree with brainers).  Several plots are hatched, and many wheels begin to turn.

IPMM 64: The Evolution of the Role-Playing Gamer

“All Drums Go to Hell”

We discuss how gamers grow and change over time, including what motivates them.  We cover our own experiences, and how coming from traditional versus indie role-playing games changes the course of players’ evolution (but often not where they end up, given enough time).

Other topics mentioned include:

Note: regardless of how it may sound we did not record this episode in a submarine.  Sorry for the over-compression.

IPMM 62: Interlude – Durance

“The Legend of Anders Gunmith”

We play the (relatively) new indie RPG from Jason Morningstar, Durance.

Durance is a game about people surviving on a prison planet, roughly modeled after historical British penal colonies like Port Jackson, Australia.

Sit back and listen to the story of a grand and terrible social experiment, destined for failure!

IPMM 60: AW New Sodom, Episode 4

“Mr. Silver’s Bad Night”

First and most importantly, we have fan art!  (Thanks to TheBoyd for that!)

In this episode we get a flashback to Lively, Hugo, and Grace’s morning together before she left for Lamprey’s, Mr. Silver makes a deal with Lively, Grace has her first meeting with Lamprey since her imprisonment, Susan deals with the Twygers, Man convinces Mr. Silver to let him wrestle (for show, of course), evidently, someone gives Mr. Silver a motive, and – as it turns out – Man is very, very bad at staged combat.
