    • "This episode is part two of Thom's discussion with Gabriel Widing, LARP organizer and theorist. In the last episode they talked about participatory culture (for example RPGs and LARPs), how it is different from spectator culture (TV, Books, Films, Podcasts etc.) and why that's important to understand. This episode they talk about collaborative writing as a tool for role play and what happens when role play moves into the public space in the form of reality games."

    • Devon's Threshold Kickstarter - His game about Tragic Superheroes is a game of terminal hospital patients given superpowers. Instead of living their last weeks in a hospital bed, they are given powers that most people only dream of. The game uses an interesting trait named Regret to tie the characters to the world and give them something to care about during their last days. It is a rules-lite story game, concentrating on telling the stories of these characters' final days of life
    • Contest! Finish the Plot Hook - ends Feb 19th at midnight! “Your ship has wrecked at sea. You’ve been floating amongst the driftwood for what seems like a week, but it can’t have been more than 24 hours. As you lay on a makeshift raft, something bumps it from below. Cautiously, you roll over and…”

    • Other kind of dice - "Otherkind" from a lumpley.com post - a dice mechanic that can be used in any game. Makes the player have to come up with outcomes and consequences for an action - not just saying you want to do the action. Adds more to the story and game and allows the player to change/add to the game.
