Definitely in on this. Good luck!

Actually, I was thinking of buying the system, giving it a critical read, and then showing up with my own Firefly adaptation. Probably not about Serenity–maybe a game about frontier lawmen, or bounty hunters or something.

Hmmmm. $10 is pretty reasonable.

How does it FATE sci fi stack against Cortex? I downloaded the Firefly sourcebooks before they vanished from circulation when MWP stopped maintaining the license. I can’t […]

Hey Tim, just FYI, I tried to send you a PM and got a script error. I wanted to chat about some game design concepts I had. If the script repair is gnarly, any chance we could use Fear the Boot PMs, Twitter or e-mail?

Y’know, this genre would sound a lot less creepy if it were named Frankenstein Party or Patchwork Story.

Okay, I get the boxes now. You could also make them smiley faces and frowny faces, or label them.

I didn’t phrase my first question well. When the leader gives “The Crash”, does everyone at the table use the […]

Two questions:

1. Are all the journals about the same group of characters? i.e. they are all on the same adventure?

2. What is the significance of the boxes and crossing them out?

Hey Tim–Did you ever get more resolution on art pricing? We’ve got a rolling discussion over at Fear the Boot, but I’m curious how things went for your prototypes. I imagine a board game is quite similar to a mobile video game in art requirements.

The 20 minute length is awesome. I liked the travel aspect, which has kind of been missing lately. I thought the episode from Asia was really cool. If you do cooking, that’s certainly a fun topic, but I’d want that as a bonus episode, not a replacement for discussions on gaming and travel.

Very timely episode. I’ve been trying to decide if I should run a Transformers (Insecticons) game at Fear the Con. I have never run a convention game, and the thought of GM’ing for complete strangers leaves me a little nervous. They paid to attend FTC4; will they get their money’s worth out of my game? [...]

“Fair pricing” is definitely a hot issue. I see this all the time with former engineering colleagues. Someone is trying to form a tech startup, and they ask around. The out-of-work folks will say something like, “I want $50 an hour.” The startup doesn’t have the cash and can’t afford that anyway. Plus it wants [...]

Have you gotten any more resolution on the art angle? How many pieces of artwork can you get for a certain budget? For a lot of folks claiming to be starving artists, they will cheerfully stick a starving game developer with a huge bill.

I admit my curiosity. You talked about some pretty cool-sounding projects on the last DFL episode. Any updates on those? I kinda cringed to see the goal of two DFLs per month–you seem like a busy guy–but I wouldn’t mind a ten minute episode just to hear how things are coming along.

I lost a big chunk of work a few months ago. I flew back East for a spring scrimmage game, and while I was home, I wrote up a ton of notes, concepts and engineering sketches for my iPhone game design. On the flight back, I was nodding off, so I stuck the file folder [...]

A fine turnout for the inaugural year!

Out of curiosity, how many adventures were submitted for Adventure Week?
