News from the Fora (where we briefly discuss things going on in the community)

Springboard (where we each discuss a topic raised in a recent show from the community)
Rich - In Knights of the Night episode 77, they enter into two social conflicts with NPCs (one interrogation scene, one scene where they try to browbeat an admin assistant). Are social conflict systems as satisfying as the often more clean physical conflict systems like combat? I don't think they are, but why not? Chris Perrin talks about Burning Wheel and Duel of Wits and Alex mentions Lady Blackbird, thereby winning the discussion.
Alex - Planning on talking about 2GM’s 1 Mic ‘Character Creation as Play’ - I touched on my experience with Traveller character generation last episode, also discuss FATE chargen, especially Spirit of the Century. Amber Diceless Roleplay.
Chris - Monkey in the Cage’s How Gaming Influences Us Away from the Table. This is something I struggle with/embrace in my professional career.
