  • We interviewed Nils and Kosta on our YouTube Channel last week. We were going to include the recording in our episode next week, but so many people have already seen it on YouTube it might be old news for you loyal listeners by then. So instead we are going to have a reaction panel feature, and for those of you who prefer podcasting over YT, here is a slightly edited audio only version of the interview.

  • Happy Christmas! There is no normal episode this week, because it's Christmas Eve today and we are with our families, rather than arguing over our mics. To make up for our absence on your feeds, here is a bonus show. People enjoyed the peek into our deign process that we released a month ago and asked if there was more. There is - this second hour of discussion from our very first design meeting follows on from where the last bonus episode finished, as we are talking about talents. We had of course discussed the idea on the phone previously, and by text, but this was the first time we actually sat down at a table together to talk about the games principles and start to get into the nitty gritty of mechanics. At that point it was an adaptation of Forbidden Lands, so you will hear a lot of chat in that context. Over the years (Patrons have just received playtest version 6) it has moved away from its Forbidden Lands roots while remaining a Year Zero Engine game.

    We hope to be making a big announcement next year about a kickstarter for our Tales of the Old West TTRPG. We have a number of ducks to get a a row first.

    EffektAP is brought to you by Effekt. Music is Old West Game by Stu Venable, used with kind permission of the Angry Folk Media Empire.

  • We are sorry we missed our usual episode last week. Our intention had been to record an episode during MCM Comic Con London, but we ended up working too hard to make too few sales to do anything other than eat and sleep of an evening. Normal service will be resumed next weekend, and will include some Comic Con related content.

    To make up for our absence on your feeds, here is a bonus show, actually something that was a Patreon exclusive when we first shared it three and a half years ago. We hope to be making a big announcement next year about a kickstarter for our Tales of the Old West TTRPG. We have a number of ducks to get a a row first, but to whet your appetites here is a recording of our very first design meeting.

    We had of course discussed the idea on the phone previously, and by text, but this was the first time we actually sat down at a table together to talk about the games principles and start to get into the nitty gritty of mechanics. At that point it was an adaptation of Forbidden Lands, so you will hear a lot of chat in that context.
