Navigating Game Lore (our UKGE 2020 seminar)
12/09/2020 Duración: 53minAs a podcast that started talking about the Third Horizon in Coriolis, new GMs often ask us “where do I start?” But Coriolis is the youngest setting in this discussion.

So we have brought together experts in four much loved settings, to talk about how to break down any barriers and start having fun.Recorded at UKGE Virtually Expo 2020, the panel is chaired by co-host Matthew and features:B.

Known for playing Victor Temple on Vampire the Masquerade: LA by Night, he is the writer of Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish for IDW comics.Jeff Richard is Vice President and Creative Director for Chaosium.

Song to the Siren: Intervention
04/01/2020 Duración: 01h04minIts been a whole year since we last heard from our prisoners, Salem, Salah and Yaphet, on the mysterious prison planet. So, we start off this episode reminding ourselves what happened back then as much for our benefit as for our listeners. Then the first half of this episode consists of the last half hour of the previous session last year, which wasn't included in the 'cast, then we move on to with the first half hour of the latest session. There is lots of in character discussion in the episode, with perhaps just one dice roll...If you want to go back and listen to the original recordings of the last session, you will find them here.Effekt is brought to you by Fictionsuit and RPG Gods.
