This podcast is made for people like you. Thank you for being there. Welcome to the GMS Podcast episode 424 a podcast about the people who make and the people who play tabletop board games and roleplaying games. I am Paco García and in this episode… I talk with Bassey Onwuanaku about her game café in Abuja, Nigeria, and how finding out about her daughter learning through gaming, has led her to create Lyndem Edutaiment, an organisation that wants to spread education through gaming all over Nigeria. We talk about the beginnings, her plans, how games are helping children and teachers and the future she would like to have for the organisation, as well as the games she’s designing and would like to see published. You can find out more about Bassey on these links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lyndemedutainment/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lyndemedutainment/ If you would like to participate or sponsor this podcast, or if you would like to send us your questions or comments, get in touch.

Boardgames in Nigeria with Bassey Onwuanaku.

She Kills Monsters is a play based on a journey of discovery sparked by a D&D adventure. She Kills Monsters is a comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all. The company Worlds Elsewhere has taken upon their shoulders to create a production that will be live streamed on Sat, October 30th, 2021 at 7:00pm USA Eastern Time. And they are gathering money for charity too! I had the enormous pleasure of talking to Mike Fatum, director of this play, about the challenges, rewards, reasons and what they have done to make sure this play lives up to everyone’s expectations and then some. If you would like to find out more about this play, please visit their website: https://bit.ly/WorldsElsewhere You can find out more about Trans Lifeline and Mermaids UK here.

Once you have everything at the ready, or even before you do, it’s a good idea to consider if you want to print your game or not.   The expense of printing is just one thing to keep in mind, but by not means the only thing.

 THE RPG ROOM PODCAST | ROMANCE OPTIONS IN GAMES – St Valentin day special Romance options in games are available for pretty much any TTRPG out there. After all, we are dealing with an activity that you can tailor to your needs and wants. Having said that, there are some considerations to take into account before you start flirting with the nearest Shoggoth and risk making their MiGo partner jealous. In this episode we discuss what games do Romance well and what are the do’s and don’t’s of bringing romance to the table. Also what are some of our favourite romantic tropes. There is a lot of hilarity and inappropriateness to this episode and there are mentions of some nasty things, so please be warned and take it with a pinch of salt.   This video has been produced for www.gmsmagazine.com.

 February is Black History Month in the USA and we had to cover that topic and give voice to RPG Creators in our podcast. But we want to do it differently. We are going to mention a few Black Creators, but what we would really like is to know what Black creators you follow or support. And, of course, if you are a Black Creator, we would love to hear from you and have you on board. We also discuss the importance of the existence of Black History Month and why it is important that white people make an effort to understand why this even matters so much to so many people.   Please help our channel by subscribing and commenting and support our Patreon Campaign if you can: https://www.patreon.com/gmsmagazine   Join us in our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fHaKNPe   Visit other #GMSMagazine productions: For our main channel: http://bit.ly/GMSmagazine For our #podcast: https://goo.gl/M54zau Follow us on #Twitter: https://goo.gl/moZgvK Our #Facebook page: https://goo.gl/YkbQIj
