“Note to self: revise life goals”
We bring Blake back in for a discussion of character death in (more traditional) role-playing games. What does it add? What design considerations have to be given? What GM/player considerations have to be given?
We also talk about playing characters who are much dumber (or smarter) than you.
Topics covered include:
- Lots of traditional games, including various editions of D&D
- The Old School Renaissance (OSR)
- Shōnen anime / One Piece
- Apocalypse World
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Game of Thrones
- The Walking Dead
- Terra Mystica
- Dungeon World
- Traveller
- Burning Wheel
- The Gordian Knot
- Dungeon World
- The Walking Eye (a great podcast!)
