Masters of the Forge - Episode 037 - Joining the Greater Good
September 16, 2015 13:16 - 1 hour - 99.5 MBWhat would you say to a powerful alien race who promised you health, safety, and stability under their benevolent rule? What would you say to an alien race who, surprisingly, doesn't open negotiations with exterminating a few key cities on your world, although they have every opportunity to do so? It's hard not to listen to them in a savage Galaxy full of terrors. This fortnight we discuss the species who have accepted the Greater Good to some degree. Timestamps: 00:00:00 – 00:23:38 – I...

June 23, 2015 16:47 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBThere is little more important to formulating an in-depth narrative for your games than the nature of your army’s objectives. Narrative Objectives break from the usual 6 Mysterious Objectives in order to facilitate telling a more specific and compelling story.
