If there's an opportunity, could you guys do a show covering how you approach developing material for campaign settings from scratch? What are the essential ingredients for getting started, and how much do you feel like you need to have on hand before you begin? Also, what are considerations in terms of rules sets and how much do you feel like you need to tailor aspects before hand based on player temperament/style?  Thanks, I am really enjoying the show! Keep up the good work!Rafael likes to do a brainstorming session with his players about what the campaign setting is going to be l

Invoke situational aspect: "Kickass Podcast"Our GM+Nathan PankePlayers+Edgar Johnson+Donn Stroud+Adam MuszkiewiczSeveral episodes ago, we put out a challenge to our listeners: teach Donn & Adam how to play Fate! We'd tried before, but didn't quite grasp key elements of the system. The excellent Mr. Nathan Panke stepped up to the plate and decided to take that challenge. We wrangled up the Reverand Doctor Edgar Johnson III to round out our team and proceeded down this particular rabbit hole.In this first episode of our "actual play" session, Nathan gets us going on Fate Core, gives us a crash course on the system and Adam has a nearly existential crisis about the system's jargon.Stay tuned for the next episode, where the system really "clicks" for the group as we take on General Tso himself!Thanks for joining us for this episode of Drink Spin Run. We'd love to read your comments on the show, suggestions, where exactly we can stick what and other thinly-veiled threats.
