10. THE JIMTERVIEW — Interview with Jim Parkin of D66 Classless Kobolds

Episode 10

Monday, December 7, 2020 • Duration 46:24

Jim Parkin is an RPG blogger and game designer on the FKR fringe of the OSR. Despite this, he hates 3 letter acronyms!

He's also a father of (at least) two and we spoke about introducing children to adventure games, alongside other game stuff.

...that "other game stuff" includes:

his Swords & Sorcery hack of Into the Odd known as Weird North...
Any Planet is Earth, a his rules-lite hard sci-fi game inspired by a FKR approach to traveller.
Galaxy Far Away, an interesting spin on one of the world's most popular franchises!

Walk on music is performed by DJ Kool, who does not endorse this podcast in any way, but used here under fair use for a non-commercial project.

Episode 6

Saturday, November 21, 2020 • Duration 01:00:49

I've been running a regular (ish) drop-in game on my server https://discord.gg/BdasKhNrBj

Recently one of my regular(ish) players messaged me to explain that they weren't happy with how the game was going and why they felt they weren't able to continue playing. While this was upsetting, I really appreciated it and asked Alex back to more fully explain himself and why I thinks PARIAH is such a terrible game!
