In this exiting episode we sit down with Bradford Younie and dig into his two fudge based games “Now Playing” and “The Unexplained”. Now Playing is actually a great introduction to Fudge, it is essentially a basic Fudge build with guidelines for basing your campaign around the premise of a TV show. Bradford is very active in the Fudge community, so its far past time that I had him on. Early on I mention Ruby, the creator of Ascendancy, go checkout her kickstarter. You can join the Podcasts...

Despite the fact that I’ve been stuck at home for over a week now, I haven’t actually made much progress on any of my personal projects. Since the podcast is getting a bit delayed I thought I’d dust off this episode of the now defunct “The OSR‌ Podcast” and share a really great interview I did over there. This was really early in my podcasting “Career” and it shows. You’ll notice a few skips and a couple of artifacts, it was the best I could do to clean it up. In this interview Denis...

Click here to get the Icons 1st edition bundle for just under 20 bucks from Drive Thru RPG. Howdy, this week I sit down and have a chat with Steve Kenson (Stevekenson.com) about the creation of ICONS Superpowered Roleplaying: The Assembled Edition. If you’ve ever had a look at the underlying system you’ve probably noticed some pretty interesting tweaks to the basic Fudge Mechanics. We dig into how he made a game that looks so different and yet still manages to play so much like a standard...

A‌ follow up to my interview with Michael Lucas about Gatecrasher. In this episode I talk about a few bits and pieces of Gatecrasher I‌ forgot to bring up with Michael Lucas, and the supplement for the 1st edition Believe it or else.

Sorry, no Amity in Fame theme song at the beginning, and no pop filter on the quickly recorded parts at the beginning and end. I really wanted to get this out ASAP‌ as I’ve been sick of and on for almost a month. But I come bearing gifts, namely an interview with Gatecrasher writer/creator Michael Warren Lucas: The Bob Ross of Apocalypse. Happy little bloodbaths! (Site: https://mwl.io/) Science Fiction and Fantasy writer, technical writer, and all around fun guy. We talk about both versions...

Happy Halloween Fudge Fans! This isn’t a “Halloween Special” as such, this is just my attempt to get something out there before the lack of inertia feels so overwhelming that I just let the show podfade. In this episode I wanted to discuss some ideas Jeff Dee has brought up over on his face book. He’s narrowed down his niche, as a gamer and game designer, to TableTop Immersive Simulation Games or TTISG. I thought that was a great chance to discuss owning up to narrative mechanics in your...

Everything is Awesome! In this exciting episode I talk to Wes Otis about his work in sound design and his like of 10 minute audio loops for role playing games. He isn’t really a Fudge guy, but his products are system neutral and I’ve always been really interested in background/atmospheric audio. He also talks a little about his own podcast 12 sided stories. I think I’ve finally settled on a theme song, I’ve gone with Amity in Fame’s Touching your Breath from their album Dinner for One. I...

Getting someone else to do your job is awesome! Jonathan Snyder is gracing your ears this episode to expand on our previous conversation. Specifically he is going to talk about self publishing and being an indie author, with some specifics for those of you wanting to publish your own fudge material. If you like what he has to say you should subscribe to his Podcast, The Indy Author, where he covers even more great information. Thanks Jonathan! You too could do your very own episode of...

Just quick warning I do use the word disabled to refer to people in this one. I know its not a huge flub, but I do talk about a game designed (in part) to facilitate an understanding of people with physical limitations and it bothered me when I was listening to the episode, but I didn’t have time to rerecord. Sorry if anyone is offended. In this episode I discuss Fairy Magic a Celtic tweak on African Spirit Magic from “A Magical Medley”. This is in preparation for an instructional real play...

You're not your I'm aware, its incorrect for URL and laziness reasons. I know its short, and I know I didn’t manage to do an episode last week. I think I need to stop making broad proclamations about how I’m going to do the show and just do it. I’m killing the Patreon as of now, patrons will notice I didn’t put through a charge for the last episode. I really appreciate the patrons I did have, but I’m just doing this for fun. If you get something out of the podcast and you wanna help out...

Welcome back for season 2 Fudge Fans! Sorry its been so long. I gave myself a couple of months up hoping I could stockpile material to crank out episodes more reliably this year, and instead life happened all over the place. Still, season 2 should still be a pretty great ride. In this episode I interview Jacob Wood of Accessible Games. We Discuss I’m not entirely sure what the next episode will cover, but I am working up a series where I essentially take the rule book section by section...

Hey guys, just a look back over what I've learned from this season, and what I intend for the next. Also a surprise interview with Bnyw from the Discord/IRC about the Otherworlders IRC network. The cliff notes version of the podcast is that I'm going to create a tv-esque seasonal podcast with focused topical episodes. I'm shooting for weekly episodes between March and September (about 28 episodes), with one holiday episode each in October, November, and December (Dicemass). The Blog...

Unlucky 13, If I had planned it out better this would have been the Halloween episode. Ah well, such is life. I'm going to stop apologizing for the audio quality since those of you on the discord made it incredibly obvious that I'm probably making mountains out of mole hills. Also I listened to some radio professionals and realized they make the exact same sounds. In this episode I'm going to continue to pick apart the mechanical underpinnings of the Fudge RPG, specifically the way traits...

Happy Halloween, its like Summerween in the Fall! In this episode I explore developing Fudge horror games by pilfering other, more established, horror games for clever mechanics. To the best of my knowledge there isn't a solid long-running Fudge Horror game out there, so I'm looking at ideas that can be borrowed from the Fate Horror Toolkit, the Pacesetter RPG, and Call of Cthulhu. I also plug the upcoming "Chronicles of Future Earth" due to it having a clever dice mechanic we can snag into...

... Gotta practice breathing through my nose... Welcome to my 11th episode, I can finally say this one goes to 11! So in this episode I talk a bit about how I began with the game, the first campaign I ever ran with Fudge, some pre-made games to get you going, and some ways to engage with the community. Some quick notes on how to connect with the Fudge IRC channel. If your not "IRC Savvy" you can use the link below to connect using a handy web app linked to on the Grey Ghost Games website....

Here is an episode where I wax poetic about dice. I was trying a cardioid langolier mic, I'm debating if I like the audio quality of it. I'm testing it in hopes of doing some interviews over the phone soon. In this episode I'll talk about features of Fudge Dice, sources for these wondrous creatures, and alternatives to them. Additionally I talk a little about when not to roll them bones, and discuss the possibility of doing future liveplays to make the game more accessible. Links 4DF...

I apologize if it sounds like your sitting in my mouth, I was getting a cold and had the mic closer than I should have. In this episode I discuss the nature, usage, and viability of attribute scores in Fudge. I think fudge gets some flack for being an "incomplete" game or "just a toolkit" because of the nebulous description of how attributes work in the game. Attributes are recommended, but totally optional. Fate Core, arguably the most popular Fudge derivative out there, ditches Attributes...
