OgreCave GNU – NeonCon ’10 (Matt Grau/Infrno)
by admin on Nov.13, 2010, under Convention coverage, GNU episode, Interviews
Recorded at NeonCon 2010, this Gaming News Update gives you the lowdown on all the current projects Matt Grau has his hands in, as told by the man himself. Firstly, Matt tells us about Infrno, the “Facebook for gamers” and electronic tabletop gaming site (and no, “Infrno” is not a typo). Then we hear what WildFire is up to, starting with Cthulhutech, Matt’s well-known RPG system. As Matt puts it, Cthulhutech is for Cthulhu game fans who “want to be able to shoot back for once.” Matt also tells us about the Cthonian Stars RPG, and Nuts, the sequel to this year’s Origins Award winner for Best Card Game, Poo.

Stay tuned at OgreCave for the relaunch episode of one of the first tabletop gaming podcast shows, new and improved for your listening pleasure.
OgreCave GNU – NeonCon ’10 (Ryan Macklin/Mythender)
by admin on Nov.13, 2010, under Convention coverage, GNU episode, Interviews
In this Gaming News Update recorded at NeonCon 2010, I catch up with Ryan Macklin of the Internet (also of Dresden Files RPG fame, and the Master Plan podcast), and get the skinny on Mythender, his RPG side project for the last three years. Ryan tells us about destroying the gods, and being epic without becoming what you despise the most. If you want to slay deities, to tear down pantheons, and just be awesome, you’ll want to hear about Mythender. Expect to see the game by Gen Con 2011 (approximately) from Evil Hat Productions.

In this Gaming News Update, OgreCave corners Sean Nittner of Narrative Control and Good Omens about the process of setting up conventions.
