RPG Crossing Radio

We finish our talk about making characters with talking about the people in their life and how it helps shape the story for you and the GM. For those listening to these episodes as they are released, apologies for the delay. Life just does not seem to want to let up, but hopefully we are back in the swing of things and can continue to make regular content for everyone. Music: Steel Rods by Kevin MacLeod (license)

Baking the character into the story is a balancing act and we teach you how to walk that delicate tightrope, as well as a completely on topic discussion of how quantum leap is the perfect example of all our points. Music: Brittle Rille by Kevin MacLeod (license)

We tackle story things and mechanical things to think about when making a PC and how to balance it, as well as some common pitfalls to watch out for. "Adventure Assemble!" is kinda meaty totally because we have a lot to talk about and not because we are struggling to remember things, not at all! Music: Kings of Tara by Kevin MacLeod (license)

After yelling at our imaginary friend for entirely too long we get to some personal stories about how we go about making characters, how you can approach it, and some common pitfalls to watch out for. Welcome back to this totally clear guide on how to make characters! Music: Rocket by Kevin MacLeod (license)

This episode wraps up our Writer's Block series with a special guest and an exploration of rpgcrossing.com's section for help on a different subject but still useful tool. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Music: Epic by Benjamin Tissot (also known as Bensound) (license)

We tackle how to handle writer's block when making game posts in our need to comprehensively and exhaustively describe every aspect of RPGs and PbPs in the most minute detail possible! NOTHING TEDIOUS ABOUT THAT! Link: December 2020 RPG Crossing Membership and Charity Drive information Music: Piece for Disaffected Piano One by Kevin MacLeod (license)

Someone didn't think this idea all the way through, but you still get almost an hour of high-quality content out of us! GO DONATE. Also, please be patient with me, I have been working a lot and not feeling great.

WRITER'S BLOCK is the topic this month, and boy did we have technical difficulties all MONTH! Hopefully, I manage to minimize their impact but please be forgiving, and be giving. The annual charity drive is happening RIGHT NOW, so if you can, donate. And if you would like a chance for a free year of CS leave us a review in itunes before the end of the drive!

We talk about how to add campaigns and stories into the worldbuilding and some dos and don'ts of the process, as well as how to maintain narrative integrity. We never once get off-topic at all! Music: Twisted by Kevin MacLeod (license)

Another unusually on-topic discussion as we continue our exploration of worldbuilding. People are enjoying these surprisingly. Oh, and if you pay attention you will hear something in this episode that we repeat next month. Music: Supernatural by Kevin MacLeod (license)

So this one is a bit harder to nail down as it's a little more ephemeral. But I think that, as always, it is a concise and definitive look at what to include in your considerations of worldbuilding, and how to attack the project without destroying yourself. Basically, how to succeed at worldbuilding without really trying.... Ok, for real done this time. Music: Tech Live by Kevin MacLeod (license)

What is Worldbuilding? How do you go about it? Why would you do it? All that and more this week! Music: Five Card Shuffle by Kevin MacLeod (license)

Joining us for the bonus sesh is the winner of the Shadowrun Outplay bracket, whom we will only call UF, and one of the Shadowrun Judges, Marshmallow. Their thoughts are excellent for anyone considering being part of it all next year! Enjoy! Music: Ambiment by Kevin MacLeod (license)

While this is the last formal episode of the month there will be a bonus one coming out later with a final set of interviews that would have been just a bit much for this episode. So listen to how Round 4 played out and then check back later this week for an interview with one of the winners and one of the judges! Music: White by Kevin MacLeod (license)

This is a meaty one about round three of Outplay and with special inclusion of one of the players eliminated in round three. We gently and with all due respect and care remind them of that over and over and ask them to think hard about why they failed. All kidding aside it's a fun one!
