Fabricated Realities Interview, Part Two
Here’s the 2nd part of our talk with Rose Cowman – founder of the recently completed, and by all accounts completely awesome Fabricated Realities story gaming con – and the mysterious yet devastating Danielle, both visitors from the frozen south. This time we talk about building and/or finding community and safe space through gaming. We also make grand plans for an RPG about living in an anarcho-punk house (the dreaded and arcane chore wheel will figure prominently).

Episode 61: The Matrix
- The Matrix! The guys discuss this movie from 1999 with Keanu Reeves. The first movie of the trilogy they discuss how you can bring lies into your game - everything you know is a total lie - this can lead to revenge!
- They also discuss how you can start out at a low level character and then are approached with a new destiny and have to train to become stronger
- In the Great White section they talk about Practical XP and how in Hunter the Vigil you gain practical XP during fights to use for the group to progress skills that will be helpful in the next encounter or fight. This is different than plot points because the XP affects the actual skills and attributes of the characters. The reason behind it is that if you go and defeat a monster during the hunt you gain specific knowledge that can help you later for the group as a whole (not just yourself)

Episode 22: Vampire the Requiem
- Published by White Wolf in 1991 - Vampire the Masquerade and changed the gaming world,
- Requiem offers 5 types of vampires (clans) and 5 covenants and the tension inside the games from their interaction,
- Vampires (PCs) must survive and live with what they do,
- The book contains history of vampires and the world - the Core World of Darkness rule book has all the mechanics so the Requiem contains only extra new rules needed to play,
- V:tR gets a 20 on a d20 roll (a perfect score) though buyer beware.
Episode 23: The (New) World of Darkness
- Previously the World of Darkness simply served as a setting for White Wolf games, but in the new game lines the world of Darkness is a setting, it gets its own book line and provides game play for mortals.
- Setting wise, it is a world where horror movies, conspiracy theories and worse could be true.
- Mechanics are on a d10 with a 8-9-10 for success
- The storyteller game’s approach the morality is something that makes the game system and world distinct in the RPG marketplace. It also looks different from other games.
- The WoD book gets a 15 on a d20 roll, and again buyer beware.
