GURPS again? Yes, well, it’s quite versatile. And with GURPS Black Ops/Warehouse 23, Men in Black as if directed by John Woo, we certainly tested its limits on the cinematic side of things. Players Chalif and Fred discuss their experience with GameMaster Siskoid on this short, but high-octane campaign. Then, Siskoid talks about creating diceless moments for players in out GM Advice column.

Dream Park – it’s a series of novels by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes ABOUT the future of role-playing, and then turned INTO a postmodern role-playing game by R. Talsorian Games. Siskoid not only ran this game for years, but also modified it considerably to suit his purposes. He re-invited one of his key players, Daniel “Pout” Ouellet, to discuss the experience of playing a player put through his paces by a GameMaster played by a GameMaster. It gets META! Plus, our GameMaster Advice column, and your feedback from the previous episode.

Next up on Let’s Roll, Siskoid and his players Daniel Ouellet and Alexandre Hébert discuss GURPS Old West, where the latter two played brothers, and Siskoid started a cross-genre story that is sure to get more play on future episodes. But for now, what is GURPS? How do you role-play a western? And in the GameMaster Advice column, how much should you plan, and how much can you improvise?

Spinning out of Hero Points, it’s the debut of FW Presents: Let’s Roll, the show that looks at OTHER role-playing games. In this case, GameMaster Siskoid invites two old friends, Marty Léger and Mathieu “Chalif” Chalifoux, to talk about the Savage Worlds Evernight campaign they played a decade ago. What made that story so special? What are the basics of the Savage Worlds system and of the Evernight setting? And what universal lessons can be gleaned from the experience? Plus, Siskoid lends some GameMaster advice about party traditions!
