The Glitterbois #0083: Real Life and Gaming

Casts, Glitterbois

After a comedy of errors involving terrible internet service providers, we have finally found opportunities to record again in the new year. So welcome back to the Glitterbois! And thanks for a fantastic and loving first year of our show. It’s time to continue with one that has been on our thought board for a while now, and given recent times it’s even more relevant than ever. That would be: Real Life (and more importantly old age) and how it interferes with our gaming hobby. Give us a listen, then join us on Discord to share your own tales and tips on the matter.

Beyond the Megaverse, Casts, Glitterbois

This time we’re taking a walk Beyond the Megaverse, in what we expect will be an occasional series on the show where we look at properties and media related to our gaming interests. Starting things off, we’re looking now at the old Alternity RPG from TSR, published in 1998 but then abandoned with the WotC acquisition and the launch of 3rd Edition. NPC is currently running a campaign using it, and so it’s fresh on our minds for discussion!

The Glitterbois #0075: Re-imagining Rifts Earth

Casts, Glitterbois

We spend this episode in a free-form idea-jamming discussion on ways to re-imagine certain “logistically problematic” elements of the default Rifts Earth setting. Most if these ideas are rooted in NPC’s struggles with presenting the story of the world in his games in a way that fits his mind’s eye view of the world. Give us a listen for some of our ideas on ways to unleash your imaginations, then drop in to our Discord and talk about your own ideas.
