They say you never want to see the sausage get made - but we are making a horror game so a bit of intestine and gristle is par for the course. This may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it's interesting to hear how we are collaboratively building the setting and characters for our forthcoming delve into real horror (or as real as you can get it). Listen in as Scott Dorward (Good Friends of Jackson Elias), Spencer Game (Keep off the Borderlands), Barney Dicker (Loco Ludus), and TJ Drennon join me for our session zero of (Name Pending) horror game. Listener discretion advised: There is an actual real life monster attack at about the 40 minute mark - so anyone of a sensitive disposition may want to skip. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andy-goodman8/message

362: Creating a Horror Game

Are the GM and Players playing the same game? The answers obvious isn't it? Inspired by Jason of Nerd's RPG Variety Cast, and an epic battle of wills between Joey of Hindsightless and Daniel of Bandit's Keep, I lumber into the ring and give a good pounding. After all who doesn't like to see grown men take a pounding in the ring. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andy-goodman8/message

361: Two Games, One Cup

I have just finished reading Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson. Recognized as one of the key texts that inspired and shaped D&D. I ponder how different D&D would be if we had never had heroic fantasy and been stuck in the mire with these wonky and delightful Appendix N novels.

356: Ripping Yarns

Another oh so near. This time England made us hope longer than they had since that black and white day in 1966. I reflect on a lifetime of supporting England, a lifetime of disappointment and longing. This one is all about Football so if you want gaming content - this pod is not for you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andy-goodman8/message

354: Eldritch Organ - One Night in Paris - Pt1

353: TSR sharts the bed

Continuing the mini-series documenting our journey to create audio horror. In this episode I am joined post game by Spencer, Scott, Nicky, TJ and Barney to discuss our plans for scaring our pants off. Now that I think about it, that idiom is quite silly isn't it. I mean is it because you've crapped yourself, or that your pants have been literally blown off your legs by some supernatural force. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andy-goodman8/message
