I have the full pdf now... whatever shall I do with it? So, maybe I've mentioned this here, maybe I haven't. But Hayley and Vee (the designers) are developing the Good Society + Magic and Good Society + Swords versions as well. I got to play in Pride, Prejudice, and Practical Magics a month back, and holy fucksticks was it good. By the time we were done it felt like we'd written some pre-Harry Potter world building type shit. Oh man it was soo good. Oh ya, I wrote about it! www.supernovembergames.com/tomes-of-tomes/2018/10/8/good-society-wizards-pride-prejudice-and-practical-magicsAlso there are AP links there. Hayley ran the thing, and Vee was a player in the game. Also, there are some other hacks in the pipeline by some hardcore fans that may be delicious. And that's all I'm saying on the matter right now.

That's weird. Also: I'm weird.

Orccon is still a few months away, but I wanted to remind folks about "RPG Games on Demand" at Strategicon.
This consists of an open gaming area where we normally run and play small press and indie RPGs. (As of this time, that area is on lower level LL, at the bottom of the escalators, on the way towards Open Gaming and D&D Adventure League.) Examples of games we've played include: Fiasco, Dread, The Quiet Year, Fall of Magic, Powered by the Apocalypse games (including Dungeon World and Monster of the Week), The Final Girl, For the Queen, Misspent Youth, and so on... We are also open to and have run games by GMs who want to playtest RPGs in development.
Currently, we place a number of GoD sessions on the convention schedule during similar start times for other scheduled RPGs. The actual games played is unknown until we gather up and see what folks are willing to run and play. Also, we start around 10 minutes after the scheduled start time, as it allows those folks who didn't get into scheduled games, or GMs whose games didn't fill up, the opportunity to come down and join us.
Although we have scheduled start times for organizing the bulk of our games, anyone is welcome to come down and use available tables for on demand RPG gaming, as long as you are providing an open table for people to join in, and are willing to use safety tools like the X-card. (I'm more than happy to show how this works.)
If you are interested in this space, also feel free to comment here and I can send you an invite to the Strategicon RPG GoD Slack, where we discuss and plan for this part of the convention! (You can also Direct Message me here; I need an email and I can send an invite.)
Questions? Please ask.

I played this game online with a designer running it, and it was pretty awesome. I'm don't know how quickly I'd get it to the table, but I backed it to support the vision, and they've worked hard at playtesting it over the last 2 years. Miguel was recently interviewed by Rich Rogers on +1 Forward (which means you also get a little Actual Play in there in the "Act Under Fire" segment): www.gauntlet-rpg.com/1-forward/nahual

I have found that my blood pressure is much less No joke. I immediately felt overcome by a sense of peace. It was quite refreshing.

Thanks tomes! This was a fun episode. Don’t be fooled by its long runtime. We covered the relevant discussion in the first hour. Unfair. The "For The Queen" conversation was at 1:17:10, and should not be missed.

So, first off this was a fantastic episode. Great initial letter, and great discussion by all the hosts. I'm going to listen to this one again, and thanks Kimi, gina, tappy and plusx2a for all the insight and excellent words! This conversation is all the more relevant to me personally because many of us (I know gina included) came back from Big Bad Con, where they do much of this so very well, as they've consistently continued to make incremental improvements year after year. I find this very inspiring, and really hope to bring some of the lessons learned and strategies that have worked there, down to other game places (whether that is individual meetups, or our local Strategicon). kurtpotts hosted some of us attendees (including Monkeyfun Dave, Yoshi, Lauren, and Spencer) over on the Pixel Scandal Nerdcast on a Big Bad Con Recap episode, and if you found much of that initial conversation interesting, you may find some similar and relevant stuff interesting here:

As a group, the members of Carefree High have chosen to end the game for everyone’s well-being. We love and appreciate the support the game has received, and we hope that you’ve enjoyed this ride as much as we have!e I'm not a big AP watcher, and so haven't kept up with this game, but I whole heartily approve of you guys doing what needs to be done to ensure the comfort and happiness of the players involved! I've heard nothing but good things about this, so hopefully one of these days I'll get around to listening.

Get your hardcopy of the Gauntlet Codex Vol 1! It's a compilation of the first 13 issues of Gauntlet Codex, which is a digital zine of indie RPG goodness. I've only contributed slightly (in some of the Miscellany posts), I know many folks who have published mini-games, game hacks, and little modules and shtuff. Dungeon World is highlighted a lot more than other games in these first issues. If you already own all the PDFs as a Patreon backer (or from DriveThru purchases) there is a special tier just for you where you can get the hardcover only for $35 (but there is only 400 copies of Hardcover Only, so get it quick). Otherwise for $50 you get the hardcover+PDFs. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gauntlet/codex-rpg-zine-volume-1-hardcover

Regarding tappy and Joey's comments around Star Wars combat and being slow with things like the Miniatures, there is a very light Fighter pilots (of Battle of Great Britian WWII) RPG called The Few. I haven't played it in its pure form specifically, but did get to play using that system when Rich Rogers (of the Gauntlet) ran it as "The Rebel Few" about rebel fighter pilots in battles around the Star Wars cannon. It was light and has some mechanics but mostly around following and supporting pilots... which means you can narrate those mechanics however you want, which made a very light game with heavy story game possibilities. Fantastic. Joey: Congrats on running after that time. Yay, more great GMs!!

I think like everyone said, maybe Gateway over Orccon? Either way, GAMES ON DEMAND will be there, and if you want to join our Strategicon RPG Games on Demand Slack, let me know with a DM of your email. Although it's "focused" on Games on Demand, it's more just a bunch of Strategicon regular GMs that converse on stuff... can be dead some of the time, but gets super active as the con draws near. And had been much more active since this last Gateway. (that goes for anyone... open invite)
