This week we begin our summary of creating a great fringeworthy campaign. It draws from all the 132 podcasts we've done so far. We know that our early episodes, while still available at the podbean site, are not always accessible through itunes or other podcatchers. We hope that this summary will help remind experienced gamemasters what to keep essential in their games and will be a good resources for fledgeling gms, especially new Fringeworthy GMs.

This week we finish our 3 part episode on Troublesome Characters, part of our "Saying Yes" series.

How to integrate someone who defys normal social conventions and appearances? Listen and comment.

We continue with our xbox matchmaking. No seriously we are talking again about characters that are worth playing but don't integrate well with other characters. This week Robert (Trav) brings us a military jock who just can't stand scientists and brainy types - a tough mix with Fringeworthy adventurers and other games with strong tech aspects.
Jul 15, 2012•27 min
This week start our journey with some hard to handle characters. Troublesome characters are those who don't fit well into a party but have something that makes them worth playing. We start off with John's character: the friendly sociopath. Not to be topped, Peter follows with a cannibal. That right. Sweet dreams everyone.

This week we continue with another short question on the Blizniz. Then we discuss a big question about what Mellor Society and destiny might be after a cure for the mellor madness is found.
Jun 25, 2012•31 min
More questions from our fans to answer. We start off with a Fringeworthy question about the Blizniz, the elephantine race with the prehensile trunk. The amount of discussion about this race has been amazing, but they are a very different race. I love all the possibilities that each GM can try since there isn't a lot of canon about this race.

This week we finish our great interview with Dr. Nik Palmer who has written two great modules, Caravan and Seven Deadly Sins, great for Fringeworthy and Bureau 13 respectively.

This week we finish our discussion of the Golden Horde, The Fringeworthy Alternate World where the dominant culture is descended from Gengis Khan, and what fun it would be to play one of the horde in your campaign.
May 28, 2012•1 hr 1 min
This week we explore putting a member of a member of the Mongol Empire in your exploring party for Fringeworthy. As one of the alternate earths in Fringeworthy goes to where the golden horde conquered the world, this is very possible. We explore the beginnings of such a culture and how that culture would clash with that of a 21st century viewpoint. Also we want to remind everyone to sign up for our game sessions at Gencon Indy 2012. We are having a huge presence this year with lots of slots, but...

We finish out our questions from Facebook session. More Fringeworthy goodness, alternate histories, mellor, and what if's. We just finished another question recording session but that won't drop for a few more weeks since I like to vary our content. So keep sending in those questions.
May 14, 2012•47 min
This week we answer player questions about Fringeworthy. We'd love to answer questions about any of our other games such as Bureau 13, Hardwired Hinterlands, FTL 2448, Incursion, WeirdZone, and even Duck Trooper and Beach Bunny Bimbos with Blasters. However, we need you to send them in. We are recording another questions session this Wednesday, so please send us your questions via facebook or comments on this site, or any of our user groups you can find by links on this site.

This week we continue our exploration of the late campaign and how it is different from the middle and early campaign. We are joined by Fringeworthy creator, Richard Tucholka for more previously unknown Fringe Lore. Specifically we discuss those portals to Alternate Earths and Other Places that are not explored until the late campaign. What makes them different? Why wait until the late campaign? How does advanced crystal use allow us more options and strategies. If you've wondered why play a mat...

Sorry folks but when you edit 8 simultaneous tracks, you occasionally make a mistake. I've removed the duplicated audo so this is the better version.
Apr 11, 2012•1 hr 2 min
This week we return to the Mellor, those loveable homocidal shape changers who live to bite off your character's head. How are encounters with them different in the late campaign? Do they even have a place without nerfing them? Can "cured" infected mellor be player characters? We delve into roles that only experienced characters and players can pull off and what should be the cost of attempting a path of redemption.

This week we try to wrangle those pesky uber npc characters that you have to have for one reason or another, but they try to steal the spotlight from the real stars: your characters. How to rein them in by design and practice. Why have them at all? Blix took the week off so we'll see him next week. But Trav, John, and Bruce have plenty for you.
Apr 01, 2012•53 min
This week we are joined again by Richard Tucholka and Melody Nacher. We examine what we know and what could be about the elephantine race of beings called the Blizniz. Richard reveals a lot of previously unpublished info about them. We really go to the limits as to how they could be used in a Fringworthy campaign.

High atop of might airship we scout for the best ways to expoit those wonderous devices: The Lightening Crystals. In the Hard Wired Hinterland you can use them to steal up to 90% of an object's weight. From there it is a short leap to squirrel suits and Buck Rodgers jetpacks. We are joined by Richard and Melody Tucholka who reveal upcoming projects and inside secrets to Tri Tac Games.

This week we break down a bureau 13 adventure. We go through it step by step so both the players and GM can see how to create an awesome adventure that pops! If you follow these steps your adventure or players can't fail to succeed. Creating supernatural investigation adventures isn't easy, but we make it simple. Then we go over our plans for convention appearances in the next 6 months.
