The Bear's Grove #14: Diceless RPGs, Blacpool Tour, Gender in RPGs

Download the show

Show Notes & Links

I tried to find something about UU Paganism that reflected my own personal beliefs but couldn't.

Basically, I am a Well-Grounded UU Pagan. I believe that all religions have elements of truth to them, and that rationalist / humanists also have a handle on truth. For myself, I connect best with a more animistic, numinous, immanent Divine rather than a transcendant one.

So, for this week, I wanted to try and get some feedback for next week.

I'd like to ask you guys a question and hope to get some response.

The questions you can choose from are:

Have you ever played a diceless RPG?

or

Have you ever run into any challenges or difficulties with gender in your roleplaying games?

Dragonkin Podcast try #2

My apologies!

The file you may have received for Dragonkin was truncated due to problems with the initial upload.

As a result, I am re-releasing the file on this feed as it was supposed to go out on the feed nice and complete.

The first bit you should hear is the music and my voice.

The Bear's Grove #13: Game with Me, Character as Self, Sex Magick

Show Notes:

News & Notes:
Misfit Brew podcast, and the show Sam has an essay in is Episode 9.
Shadowdance podcast

Gaming With Me segment

• Characters are heroes. They have enough power and enough ability to get things done. They didn't just fall off the turnip truck. They have stuff that helps them be heroes. What they do and what they say matters. I like for people to really like their characters.
  
• The stories revolve around the characters. I create stories for your character to be a part of. I go into your character's background and find plot hooks that will help flesh out the stories that are taking place.
  
• The bad guys think of themselves as the heroes of their own stories.
  
• Things happen as a result of what heroes do and the world continues to change around them, outside of the story bubble.
  
• I do story arcs. This means I set up a story in what might be thought of as a throw-away scene. There are several seemingly throw-away story scenes but things eventually come to light.
  
• All hope is never lost, but sometimes heroes can stray from the path.
  
• Did I mention I tend to do big, epic stories?
  
• I like stories in which the characters actually change over the course of time.
  
• We play a blended-diceless game, and it has a passing resemblance sometimes to Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 edition, but that is just because I have been too busy or lazy to create the Cora Ni Roleplaying Game, which is what should really happen.
  

Please note: if you want to game with me and you live in the Atlanta area, there is a monthly D&D meet that I attend. Email me seperately for information.

The Character as Self Segment
Robin Laws talks about avoiding GM'ing "mannerisms," which is basically what I'm talkinga bout here.

Sex and Magick

Music

, Sascha Ludwig's Tribute to Mozart opened up the Game With Me section, Patrick Gorman's Bella opened up the Character as Self section, the song Lost Times by Tom Byrne opened the Sex and Magick section, and finally, the Brobdingnagian Bards will end our podcast with their music homage to The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.

The Bear's Grove #12

In This Episode:

News and Notes

I'm going to Dragon Con, are you? Last year the podcasting panel was awesome.
Promo: The Vintage Gamer
The Vintage Gamer is a podcast by Jim Van Verth and is about really cool, older games you may have missed playing. Check it out!

Segment: Swashbuckling

Special thanks to the Word Detective for providing the definition of "Swashbuckler" for us:
http://www.word-detective.com/090699.html

Segment: Part 3 of the interview with Cynthia, my partner

Quotes from her segment:

• "It was something that happened in a dreamspace. It was a vision quest - we ended a game session with my character in a coma, trying to reach out to her life partner who was dying."
  
• "We have propiniquity - we are available to each other."
  
• "It was an escape for both of us - something we could do together."
  
• "I think it was a really good thing for us over time - it's something we can do to escape together."
  
• "We've joked about Bed LARPing and some people think we're just making out in character and we're not JUST making out..."
  
• "I wanted to stretch. I wanted to be different than the good, sweet light characters I've played before to see if I could."
  
• "That game helped me a lot - I had worried that part of the reason I was comfortable was that I know your universe so well."
  
• "I really really hate character creation. So the one-off thing is great for me because I don't have to do any character creation."
  
• "My character had children in game and she was breastfeeding before she handed them off to a nurse to go off to adventure. It's just a natural part of life - he was also offended by my giving another woman a footrub in person."
  
• "If someone has major value differences, if they get really offended that sex comes up, they should let you know."
  
• "If we're going to play adult games, actually, why don't male characters get raped (as much as female characters)?"
  
• "I don't want to know what color the viscera is."
  
• "You make it the World of Mostly Dimness"

"They respected our game because we respected theirs - they got sacred gaming time because we got sacred gaming time."

"I asked you first to do some one-on-one time outside the campaign."

The Bear's Grove #10: The Super Hero Edition!

Download the podcast here.

As you can probably tell this week is our Super Hero themed episode. And we have a few features this week having to do with our theme.

We have a piece about the private lives of super heroes by our visiting columnist Alan Braden called "By Day..." and I have a piece about my experiences with super hero gaming.

Then we'll have the first half of a "female gamer" interview with my partner, Cynthia, and then I'll finish up the Religion in Gaming segment I started last week.

As always, the music from this podcast is from the Podsafe Music Network at music dot podshow dot com.

We are a proud member of the Goblin Broadcast Network at gbncom.com, where you'll find so many gaming podcasts that stick shaking won't enter into it in any way. We are also part of the Science Fiction Podcast network at tsfpn dot com, and the Gaming Podcast Network at gamingpodcastnetwork dot com.

And a new announcement! In the interests of welcoming diversity to the practice of storytelling and roleplaying, we've joined the Q-Podder network as a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender-friendly podcast. Welcome to our new Q-Podder friends!

If you like The Bear's Grove and would like to contribute to its continuance, please do not hesitate to click the Donate button at our website at http://bearsgrove.blogspot.com. Alternatively you may wish to purchase our special edition Bear's Grove podcast t-shirt at the Cafe Press store in the Grove.

If you'd prefer not to contribute, that's fine, I just ask that you tell someone else about the podcast, and also go and vote for the podcast at Podcast Alley and add it to your favorites at Podcast Pickle.

Music in this podcast has been:

In the opening, The Dudes in the Car by Vincent Van Go Go and Forest in the Morning by Fumitaki Anzai

Luna by Fumitaki Anzai was the music that opened Alan's column. Opening the interview with Cynthia was a song called "Hell of a Boy" by the Lascivious Biddies. And finally the music "Celebration" by Mark Heimonen. We will finish out today's podcast with a song called "The Spirit World" by Josh Woodward.

All of this music is available for download by podcasters at the Podsafe Music Network, music dot podshow dot com, and very soon non-podcasters will be able to slip the artist some change and come away with a lovely song in exchange.

Please join us in 7 days when the Bear's Grove number eleven will have the second half of our interview with Cynthia, a column about Nothing from Alan Braden, the continuation of our Game Designer's Toolkit series, and our special feature, which will be about SEX in gaming. Look forward to seeing you then, and sweet dreams when you get them!

The Bear's Grove Bardic Circle #0!

Welcome to this very special edition of The Bear's Grove!

This is the Episode 0 podcast of "The Bear's Grove: Bardic Circle"
Located at http://feeds.feedburner.com/bardscircle, with the show notes at
http://bardscircle.blogspot.com, the Bardic Circle is a spoken-word / dramatic reading podcast of original RPG, gaming and game-related fantasy, horror and science fiction.

This week's story is "Sweet Pain Free," by Sam Chupp, voiced by Juliann of the It Won't Kill You podcast. This story was originally written for the ShadowNEssence website / forum. It is a horror story in the "Wraith: the Oblivion" universe and really should be rated PG-13 or R - so it is NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR AROUND KIDS.

Music is by Fumitaki Anzai and Brother Love. We return to our regular format next week. Thanks!

The Bear's Grove #8

At long last! A REAL PODCAST!

Issue #8 of The Bear's Grove

The music at the end is Brother Love's song "Summertime," from the Podsafe Music Network.

Brief Apology Update

The Bear's Grove 7.5

Sorry about this - things have been chaotic as heck and I have not yet been able to release the next podcast.

Hope to have it up soon, though!

Hang in there for me and if you know any anti-chaos magic, please send it my direction.

Thanks!

Now part of two Podcast Networks!

"The Bear's Grove" is now part of two podcast networks:



and

The Bear's Grove #7: Honor, Kid's LARPing, Game Design Toolkit

The Bear's Grove #7: Honor, Kids' LARP, GM's Toolkit, Authentic Religion, Romantic Sources



Kid's LARP links:

The Masquerade Mind's Eye Theatre rules. Yes, there is a new set of rules out - this is two generations ago, but I feel like for those of you who are adapting, you don't need to spend a lot of money to buy the book and adapt it for your own use. You can get a used copy of The Masquerade rules for $.98 + S&H on Amazon.

Remember, I'm not advocating that kids play Vampire. I think that's a PG-13 game at best. But if you take the rules as listed in The Masquerade, and use them for a kid's LARP you create from scratch, it works really well.

Game Design Toolkit links:

Chinese Portrait
Here are some examples for you:

Steve Zeck's Chinese Portrait

Tantaene animis caelestibus irae (Are there such angers in the celestial minds?), a wiki for a Nephilim game, each character listed has its own Chinese Portrait.

Bell Curve Wikipedia reference

Four Aspects of Religion we cover:

Dogma: What spiritual, ethical, and moral teachings the religion espouses
Priesthood: The structure and politics of the religious leadership
The Priestly Creed: The religion leaders' own beliefs and practices
The Faith & the Faithful: What the body of believers actually believe and practice

Big Questions:

Here is a (not exhaustive) list of Big Questions your fantasy religion should answer:

Where did the world we live in come from? Why was it put here? Who is in charge? Where did we come from?

What is right and good? What is wrong and evil? Or are there many shades of gray?

What famous holy people have been a part of our tradition? What did they teach, and what were they famous for?

How should we conduct our everyday affairs? What shall we do about money and charity?

Who is considered an adult? Who is eligible for marriage? What kind of marriages are there? Who is eligible for the priesthood? What rights and privileges does the priesthood have? Who is in charge of the church? Who decides what the church believes?

What are the spiritual teachings of the church? Are there spiritual beings who either help or hinder the church or its believers? Is there a supernatural opposition to the church?

Who are the enemies of the church? Who are the friends? What is the position of the church on other religions or deities?

What happens when people die? Is there a different afterlife for the faithful? What is the meaning of life?
