Podcast Episode–The RPG Room with Paco and Jim - a podcast by Interviews and RPG Publishing advice by Paco García Jaén

Once again we’re Jim and I are back ready to talk RPGs to our hearts content
and, hopefully to your heart’s satisfaction.

Firstly Jim talks about systems that don’t manage to match the rules and the
setting. We discuss how to go about choosing a set of rules for your game and
when it’s more appropriate to create one’s rules and when choosing an existing
set of rules.

We talk about my game, Deimonorum and how I’m using the ORE system to get a cinematic
setting that an reflect how dangerous everything is and make it flexible enough
so people can decide how much risk to add to their actions. 

We talk about Wild Talents 2 and The One
Ring too!

Another topic we tackle is FATE. I (Paco) am having difficulties getting to
understand how it’s applied and how it plays with a specific setting, so Jim and
I discussed how abstraction in rules can be difficult to get to grips with
sometimes.

Lastly, Jim decides to have a go at the Marvel RPG game.
