In late August of 2022, the publisher Chip Theory Games sent authentic, forged swords to around 30+ content creators as part of their promotion of Hoplomachus. How cool is that?!?!?! But... how thorny is that, as well. Jason engaged in a full, 360 degree meditation on what content creators are, what we are not, whether its cool to receive such gifts, what our obligations are, and a whole lot more.

By listener request, Jason is continuing to branch out into the wider world of hobby gaming. Ken Pickering and Garett Kopczynski from Reverie Studios stop by the show to chat about an upcoming, super awesome Live Action Role Play (LARP) they are organizing called Saturnalia. This is based on an ancient cultural festival involving, among other things, vampires! Players will be walking around the streets of New Orleans for a weekend, getting into adventures and celebrating collaborative storytelling. Ken and Garett share their experiences designing and executing this LARP. This conversation focuses on how to construct an experience for maximum collaborative fun. They discuss game mechanisms to foster trust and insure consent. They also have some thoughts about how to deal with "alpha players", which is something cooperative board gamers know quite well! Tickets are still available to this amazing event - https://vampirelarp.com/the_saturnalia_event.html

Jason chats with Gabe Barrett about Robomon, the map book-based adventure game of tactical combat, open world exploration, and collecting cute robots!

Jason continues the conversation with Dr. Patrick Rael from Bowdoin College and the Ludica blog on BGG. We discuss the meaning of a historical game, what they are and what they are not, and how games get it wrong. In essence, history games should present counterfactuals. They should allow us to imagine and game out different ways that history could have gone. When a "history" game does not do that, it can fall in to the pit traps that I have identified on many other Good Trouble shows.
