Topic of Discussion
In Ep 33 we talked about Espionage RPGS, but this time we want to broaden that a bit and talk about:
Modern Settings – Challenges and Thoughts
- Challenges – play an rpg to escape, modern games don’t facilitate that.
- Types – espionage, real-life (think TV show Lost), post apocalyptic, conspiracy
- Scenarios/plots
Die Roll – 2-4 miscellaneous points of gaming or geekery we want to share with you.

- Viewscream 2nd Edition Kickstarter – unique because it’s a LARP using a platform like Google Hangouts. Three to five players assume the roles of desperate people trapped in a world of high-tech horror: crew members going insane aboard a damaged starship; scientists in research labs, hunted by their own creations; or futuristic data-thieves on the run from soulless security drones. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rafaelchandler/viewscream-2nd-edition
