Episode 83 - Personal Horror (with Greg Stolze)
Tuesday Apr 19, 2016
Tuesday Apr 19, 2016
Author and game designer Greg Stolze joins Grant and Peter to talk about Unknown Armies 3rd Edition, its Kickstarter, some of his other work, and personal-scale horror stories! We spend a lot of time talking about Unknown Armies—practically the whole episode, really—and Greg had plenty to say about personal horror and how Unknown Armies reflects that. In particular, we talk about how this sort of horror differs from the "cosmic horror" currently in vogue; how relationships can matter more in personal horror; stress and horror; and more. Enjoy!

- The Unknown Armies 3rd Edition Kickstarter campaign (wraps up April 29th)
- Greg Stolze's homepage
- "In The Beginning"—a blog post by Greg Stolze describing the origins of Unknown Armies

Episode 82 - Diaspora
Tuesday Apr 05, 2016
Tuesday Apr 05, 2016
Not much in the way of news this week, so Grant and Peter get almost straight into the topic: diaspora, the scattering of a people from a common homeland and their desire to return. We discuss what, exactly makes a diaspora and how it can be used for world and character building.
