Gnomecast

Not every seed that's planted in the ground grows which is why you need to get some fertile soil, space your seeds in the soil properly, water them as needed, and monitor those seeds as they begin to spout and grow. Same thing applies to Plot Seeds but instead of trowels, watering cans, and enriched soil we bring a different set of tools and ideas to the game table. Characters, places, items, and events. So take a journey though Ang, Chris, and Jared's metaphorical garden and get into how they use plot seeds in games.

The gnomes welcome Alex Thomas from Green Ronin, the line developer for Mutants and Masterminds. Ang might have also Gulliver travelled him to a chain to get this interview. Either way, the conversation is pretty good, filled with super hero gaming conversations, and talk of writing for RPG companies. Please forgive our audio as this was done on one mic in unideal conditions.

We're talking about parties. Not adventuring parties. Masquerades, balls, shindigs, gatherings, formal dances, ragers, raves, and festivals. Chris and Jared want to help you drop that holiday party right in the middle of your game and make it as memorable as possible.

It's here. It's there. It's every bleeping where. Quantum Ogre. Quantum Ogre.

Game Crush is a conversation between folks who love a game. Sometimes it's with two people who just enjoy the game and sometimes it's between a fan and the designer.
