UKGE Frankenstein's Repair Shop - four pods collide

First and most importantly - huge credit Cosmic Outpost for improving the audio quality, although the room set up was great it did a superb job of converting the audio, so a huge thank you. "'Frankenstein's Repair Shop' Why RPGs have stood the test of time"
Four podcasters scour the UKGE hall looking for bargains and games that could be considered "Classics" but as with all good episodes of the Repair Shop just need to be brought back to life. In this interactive session and live podcast join four podcasters as they try to convince you that their game of choice should be "repaired" and brought back to life as one of the classics. Following the format of the Frankenstein's RPG podcast we have a limited amount of time to introduce our chosen game, the panel debate a bit about it and take questions from the audience, but in a slight twist THE AUDIENCE will get to vote on which Role Playing Game deserves a seat at the Classics Table. Which game will be "Brought back to life"???

Our four podcasters are:

Steve Ray - host of the wonderful Orlanth Rexes Gaming Vexes - a show that reflects on the games Steve and the panel are playing - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-28-grim-gaming/id1513931107?i=1000599738212

Dirk the Dice - the man who coined the phrase "Newstalgia" and who is the power behind the Throne of The Grognard Files and instigator of a huge community of RPG enthusiasts from the deep freeze - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/vaesen-and-moviedrome-with-hypnogoria-ep-59/id1028591522?i=1000596988046

Paul Fricker - part of the Triumvirate of The Good Friends of Jackson Elias, Paul is a huge influence on the RPG community in the UK and has collaborated on some fantastic games including Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition as well as the new "Rivers of London" RPG from Chaosium - so he is the only one who knows what he's talking about - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-good-friends-of-jackson-elias/id664563082

Dave Paterson - Boy genius and the sole person responsible for the truly odd Frankenstein's RPG Podcast where we try and make a game from the best bits of other RPGs - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/frankensteins-rpg/id1551798731

Episode 5 Series 3 Dr Mitch's Corner

In this episode we update Paul Mitchener - the man behind Liminal - on just how badly we mangle his game!

We talk a little about what we've said, how the vote went and occasionally ask him to break a deadlock and make sure the narrative goes foward nicely.

As these go on we may get into a more detailed discussion about structure, narrative and inter-connectedness, but for the moment it's just two gents having a natter.

Hope you enjoy it!

Series 3 Epsiode 3 Dr Mitch's latest corner!

So I am again joined by the Brilliant creator of Liminal Dr Paul Mitchener to discuss the latest way in which our contributors have mangled his wonderful game!

We review the choices put in front of us by Tamsyn, Matthew, Ed and Peter and then I inevitably get Dr Mitch to vote on either the winner of the scenario idea or the Big Wow moment!

This episode again doesn't disappoint as we lurch from South Mimms to St Neotts via Knebbe Wurde (say it out loud!) and delve into the horrific stories behind nursery rhymes! Eek!

Sound track comes this time from the wonderful Freak Fandango Orchestra - you MUST check them out here: https://freakfandango.bandcamp.com/ and is used by agreement and open license.

AND ALSO Ed - with his unbelievably good solo and musings on the titular character!

Brilliant. As always find us @FrankensteinRPG on twitter (until it implodes!)

Series 3 Episode 1 - the First Mitch's Corner

Welcome again to another new loop or addition for the Frankenstein's Role Playing game podcast - MITCH'S CORNER! Where I get to talk to the creator of Liminal, Paul "The Tweedmeister" Mitchener, about the most recent episode of the main podcast.

These may end up being an infrequent mini-series, mainly because I would like Paul to be involved in as many episodes as his time allows so will hopefully address most of the items that come up for discussion.

So welcome to this ep, I am, as you can probably tell, a little bit giddy and giggly, but I've been so pleasantly surprised by the pod and the way it has taken a new turn - and hopefully a good turn! After all, this could have been the difficult THIRD ALBUM...

Hope you enjoy it and are as enthused.

Also apologies to Nouk, Martin, Martin and Ralph as I managed to get all of their contributions and embellishments wrong! Oh well, at least I'm consistent.

Ever wondered how you crowdfund a Campaign? This episode may not help...

This episode I'm joined by Nouk, Ralph, Martin C, Martin G and for a very short time by Mark, as we look into the foundations of our New Quest(TM) to build a Campaign; this time it will not be from the best parts of other campaigns - That would be madness! - but by coming up with our own ideas.

This is all going to be about the Liminal Game from the pen of the Tweedmeister himself - Paul Mitchener.

You can find Liminal core book here: https://www.modiphius.net/collections/liminal Along with the two companion books Pax Londinum and Weerewolvs of Britain by Neil Gow and Becky Arneson respectively.

The shows a beast but I hope things will get better!
