Mon, 12 November 2007 Here are the bloopers from Episode 019 - Game Design. We ran too long to include at the end of the podcast, so here's a full helping of bloopery goodness.

Mon, 12 November 2007 WARNING: Instances of strong language may offend some listeners. Accidental Survivors: the Modern Gaming Podcast 1. News & Views It's Vishnu, baby! Er, whoops, I meant it's Vishnu baby The Unit Season 3: as long as we can kill terrorists and protect country singers, you can have your shadow government. Music file sharers buy more CDs Radiohead releases new album on line 2. Feature - Campaign Design The Handmaid's Tale, novel and movie 3. Inspiration Time 4. The Hook The characters belong to a special operations force, perhaps Delta, perhaps JTF-2 or the SAS. They might even belong to something blacker, like the Increment or the CIA Special Activities Division. On their first adventure, they are tasked with escorting a spook on an "interdiction" mission against a drug kingpin's complex. The target doesn't look very drug complex-like—in fact it looks like a very nice home with large grounds. During the mission, the team is confronted by an individual whom the spook shoots. The spook searches the place and cracks a safe, all the time deflecting questions from the team—if they ask any. On return, the team is called before a government oversight committee. It turns out, the “drug kingpin� was the defence minister of a government on poor terms with the PCs' government. Their superiors deny any knowledge of the mission, indicating that the team went rogue. The PCs are hung out to dry and it looks like they are going to do prison time. Their commanding officer, who was left out in the cold as much as the team, orders them to evade arrest and go underground. He's going to take the heat and the PCs need to figure out what is going on. The truth is that the team have been chosen to take the fall for an operation undertaken by a shadow government conspiracy. The mission was an intelligence operation to retrieve important information from the unfriendly government that the conspiracy feared might be used against them. That information could lead the team to the people behind the conspiracy, could clear their names, and ensure their CO doesn't end up in prison. The campaign has the team following clues and getting closer and closer to the heart of the conspiracy. Finally, they are able to take out the heads of the conspiracy. Like a snake, the shadow government dies, but the team can't go back out into the open after that. They become an arm's length black ops team, contractors for their government, doing dirty-work but only when they are sure the aims are righteous. It's kind of like the Unit meets the A-Team. 5. Podcast News The House of the Harping Monkey is a little bit quieter and less crowded with the demise of two much-beloved podcasts, the Round Table and Misfit Brew. Mick Bradley was involved in both, and with him on the Round Table was Chris Miller and K J Johnston. The Round Table especially will be missed, though Misfit Brew was a great podcast, the Round Table was one of my 'must listen' podcasts. I wouldn't put it in a queue to listen to, I would listen to it as soon as I downloaded it. It's a sad day, but all the participants will be visible in the Podosphere and in the RPG community. Maybe we can actually coerce them onto the Accidental Survivors at some point. 6.

Editing can be a lengthy process, so don't expect to see episode 10 up until the week of April 27. Hope that's not too long of a wait. See you then!

Fri, 16 March 2007 Got the recording of episode 8 done, tentatively titled "Chainmail
Bikini," for reasons explicated in the show. Unfortunately, I (Fraser)
have had a busy week. My wife and I are buying a house, and my sister
and her family dropped by a day earlier than planned--so the time I had
set aside for editing disappeared. The new episode should be up next
week. Category: general -- posted at: 12:32 PM Comments[0] |
