Episode 43: Captain Oates Journal and B13 origin stories

We didn't skip episode 42.  The anniversary episode should have been episode 41 and the last one episode 42. This week we cover the legendary journal of Captain Oates.  The very first Earth Prime fringe explorer.  He spent many years on the fringepath before returning to Earth and having a fatal accident before he could reach civilization.  Only his corpse and his journal survive.  We discuss how to use it to drive adventures, answer critical questions, but not require the GM to write a huge journal before starting her campaign. Then on to Bureau 13 as we discuss how the adventure that introduced the character to the Bureau can drive character development and creation.  How it can affect team dynamics.  Remember:  Conflict is Good!
