NC Podcasts: NeonCon & Narrative Control
Three different podcasts had me on over the last week, two of them taken at NeonCon.
OgreCave GNU – NeonCon ’10 (Ryan Macklin/Mythender)
Allan Sugarbaker and I talk about Mythender, which I ran for him and some other fine folks at NeonCon. We talk for around fifteen minutes about the game and my plans for it.
This Just In From NeonCon: Ryan Macklin and Josh Roby’s Vicious Crucible
Josh Roby & I are working on a new game, Vicious Crucible. We had Sean Nittner try it out, and talked about it on his show for around 25 minutes.
Narrative Control – Episode 55 – Player Trust
Another Nittner-Macklin combo, Sean & I talk about player trust in games. His show notes are extensive, so you’ll know if you want to listen by reading them. :) This episode is 33 minutes long.
All told, that’s barely more than an hour of me mouthing off. Some of you take longer to drive to work. So, hey, enjoy.

So, what is Vicious Crucible about? The site only has a placeholder!
Jesse,
We’ll have something better than a placeholder but the week’s end. In the meantime, listen to the episode. :)

Interesting to hear you talk about your experiences playing Morgan’s Doom of Damocles scenario — I’ve played in it twice myself, and neither time did things go the way they did for you and your group (fortunately for us). It’s amazing what a difference the right or wrong bunch of people can make when it comes to certain games, even when you have a great GM like Morgan.
And by “right or wrong,” I just mean “up for it or not up for it.”
