The Burning Mice of Ludic Peripety

Posted By Scott on July 12, 2010

This is a small panel discussion, but I didn’t want to talk solo for as long as it would take to cover all the topics I had in mind.  So Arpie was kind enough to help me out and we cover a lot of ground and even review a few games. Here’s what’s inside:

  • We review “Burning Empires” and discuss my failure to record it in great depth
  • We also review “Mouse Guard” from a very biased perspective
  • We’ll teach you all there is to know about Ludic Peripety
  • Are most Story Games “abandon-ware”?
  • Why I haven’t recorded “Committee for the Exploration of Mysteries”, “Zombie Cinema”, and other games
  • There’s almost too much praise for Adam W. in this episode, especially in the discussion of “My Life with Master”
  • GMing techniques for traditional games and why they don’t apply to Story Games (or Ludic Peripety)
  • Do Ludic Peripety (or Story Gamers) fail “casual” role-players? (I can hear the ice cream truck in the background during this part but didn’t notice it during recording. My wife was upstairs and got herself something but didn’t get anything for me.)
  • Shticky Love?!?
  • Join the growing Ludic Peripety movement today! Just email Arpie.
  • The best D&D 4th Edition gaming story ever!
  • Arpie reveals far too much
  • The proper use of White Wolf games – run a Twilight based campaign and score with Cougars (If you think you’ve won the contest, email me!)

About the author

Scott

I'm from Colorado - but not originally. I like roleplaying games - obviously. I have a wife and three kids - shockingly. I also enjoy video games (XBox, Wii) and boardgames. I love to run RPGs at conventions and game days for the focus and intensity. I'll talk about RPGs all day with those who are willing.

    Haven’t had a listen yet but I’m absolutely outraged that your wife failed to get you ice cream. I’m pretty sure that if you take that to court they give you a no questions asked divorce with full entitlements.

    My wife tries to claim that I only need one box of ice cream to share with my little girl. Pfft.

    My head exploded. I got ego all over my living room.

    This show looks right up my alley. I got excited as rpgpodcasts.com was loading, and I saw this new beautiful animal. STORY GAMES…HURRAY.
    I had to comment before I even got a listen.

    If you’re old enough then I guess you get to be new again! I’ve got a whole backlog of stuff for you to discover, Pete, please let me know how you like it.

    But you are quite mad, Pete. I recommend you apply for membership in the Ludic Peripety Society. You’d do well there, sir!
