Re: The Film Reroll: an RPG/Film Podcast - using GURPS!
Quote:
I much preferred the Labyrinth episode. Id say that's a very good example of how to run a short one one one game for a rules light newish player. If the baddies are mooks (which they should be) the combat makes sense too. The Frozen episode totally triggered me again with the diplomacy rolls (versus a reaction roll) and the first acrobatics rolls for running down a possibly crowded corridor. Id call you out on the rules flexible too. One thing to do is 'Throw this book away' in regards to social interactions. That saves on a lot of the rolls that I actually hear you make and many players (and the audience) won't get that the PCs are more or less articulate than the players/GM. And I mentioned the Penny Arcade Podcasts. They ARE funny and entertaining and they seem to mostly use a continuous rule set. I also listened to Ken Hite run rules inexperienced players through a Dracula Dossier adventure and its totally possible to keep things entertaining and rules consistent. Things I actually would recommend. Contact Doug Cole @ Gaming Ballistic and get added to GURPS Day, that WILL actually boost your listeners among the GURPS audience. An easy concession to people like me is to just share some text of the rules, rolls and stats you're using. You can leave it out of the podcast, but a paragraph or two of text is enough to understand what's missing, and its easily ignored by those not interested in the rules set. |
