DSR Episode 3.2: Blending Sci Fi & Fantasy in Your RPGs

By the time you pour yourself a whiskey on the rocks, the podcast will have loaded. Our Guest +Tim Callahan Show Notes after the jump Show Notes Orange juice & toothpaste are gross together Dan Simmons, Hyperion Michael Curtis, Frozen In Time Adam likes to blame Dragonlance, as usual Poul Anderson, Three Hearts & Three Lions Terry Brooks, Shannara Adam loves being told he's wrong... when folks can back it up. Tim can. Tim: "Sci Fi is based on speculation and scientific fact... Fantasy is everything else. Why did it stop being about [awesome stuff]?" Adam likes to talk in terms of Phenomenology "Ren Faire Fantasy" David Lynch Shadowbrook Manor for Labyrinth Lord Toon RPG Castle Greyhawk is a steaming pile of crap Fate Core Dresden Files RPG Tim says that +Lowell Francis is a great DM Third Rail of Gaming: Ascending or Descending Armor Class? Tim: Ascending for game play, descending for the literary aesthetic. Donn: Ascending. Period. Adam: They're the same damn thing. [EDIT: Adam & Donn are serious about the Fate thing. If you want to run a session of Fate for us (possibly appearing on an episode or several of DSR in the process) drop us a line at the address below!] Thanks for joining us for this episode of Drink Spin Run. We'd love to read your comments on the show, suggestions, where exactly we can stick what and other thinly-veiled threats.
