Adept Play
One on one or small-group discussions, without the formal context of an interview or seminar.
Another community contact, as Graham’s 4e Renaissance meets the 4e-friendly and 4e-curious at Adept Play. Following Ross’ and my participation in Con 4eR, we met to share our thoughts on encountering and playing the game. I’ve written about and showed a lot of play over the past three years, so I don’t have much specifically…
Simon has been busy! Since last autumn, he has organized Hantverksklubben (roughly, “handicrafts” or “hands-on” club) here in Sweden, through the Rollspel.nu forum and conducted at the Hem-Con Discord server. All of this is in Swedish, but I’ll say more about that in a moment. As of the discussion presented in the video, they’ve played…
Parallel to Noah’s presentation of his game in progress in Actual Play and also to his discussion with Tommi (see Characteristics vs. Skills), he and I talked about our experiences with the RuneQuest resolution methods, old and new.

This conversation runs parallel to the recent post-play conversation among the participants of my Lamentations of the Flame Princess game. Jon wanted to discuss similar things in terms of his own decisions about titles to play, so we took some time for that. For orientation, here’s my position: that the cultural presence of “D&D” in…
This really could have gone into Seminar instead. I edited it as an epilogue to our Lamentations/Ottoman playtest and included it in that YouTube playlist, and it does fit and make most sense that way, but as an idea, it’s probably going to generate Seminar-style discussion. Maybe not the most serene discussion. I can’t think…
