Table/flip/

By Micah-Shalom Kesselman

We are a podcast dedicated to exploring the many worlds and settings available for the Genesys RPG system. We will dive into each and every setting released on EDGE's storefront and Foundry community content program in chronological-ish order. Each setting exploration sequence includes an episode for setting introduction and discussion with hosts Lindsay, Micah, and Tyler, an actual play episode (or two), and an episode interviewing the setting author. Released every other week, join us as we delve Genesys' myriad settings.

Episode 3-2: Writers' Table Talk with Guillaume Tardif

Episode 3-2: Writers' Table Talk with Guillaume Tardif

SUMMARY We talk to Guillaume Tardif about the writing, development, and setting of Inquisition. Guillaume also gives us a ton of information on the coming second version of Inquisition which he is currently developing. As usual, this meanders a good bit but includes a lot of great discussion about writing a product in English as a second language, tools that could be helpful for anyone producing written content for really anything at all, and a lot more. NOTES Inquisition is available on DriveThruRPG at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/284410/Inquisition-Genesys-Medieval-Dark-Fantasy-Setting This episode is an experiment with a different editing workflow. It is much faster to produce this way, but it also results in a final episode that sounds rawer than other more tedious workflows. Give us your feedback on whether this trade-off is worth it via our Discord! Additionally, the At the Table segment will be published after this--editing is just running into continuous delays due to life events. After that, though, Table/flip/ will be going on an inter-season break until February to give us some breathing time for our respective holiday seasons (and year's close for work). We will continue recording through most of the break, so expect a much more consistent release schedule in season 2!

Episode 3-0: Setting the Table for Inquisition

Episode 3-0: Setting the Table for Inquisition

SUMMARY We discuss the Inquisition setting, by Guillaume Tardif, and our characters for the subsequent community play! Inquisition is a dark fantasy setting available on the Foundry. We also talk about how jealous we are of Vin Diesel and how he lives his life. NOTES This is the first session 0 that uses the new titling scheme--expect to see it consistently as we go forward ("Episode x-0: Setting the Table for X"). While these recorded episodes are being published, we'll occasionally do a d20Radio Network spotlight here in the show notes. This episode's spotlight goes to Me and Steve Talk RPGs, which covers a ton of ground across many different RPGs. One of my favorite TTRPG podcast episodes is one of their episodes, where they discuss characterization of NPCs and tie in wrestling. It's a fantastic episode and is one I often think back on when trying to figure out how to characterize adversaries in our community plays. * We mistakenly said that Starcana was not part of the initial wave of Foundry releases--this is incorrect. The initial wave of settings that came out with the launch of the Foundry includes Familiar, Inquisition, Starcana, and Something Strange.

Episode 2-2: Writers Table Talk with Chris Witt

SUMMARY Micah is running solo in this Writers' Table Talk as Chris Witt chats a bit about his Familiar setting as well as about producing content for the Foundry in general. NOTES As of this episode, Table/flip/ is a part of the d20Radio network of podcasts! This also marks a new release schedule for the podcast. From now on, we will publish on alternating Tuesdays off of this Tuesday.

Episode 2-1: Familiar AP

Episode 2-1: Familiar AP

SUMMARY A group of familiars are on the hunt for their missing familiar friend. Without the guidance of their masters, it is sure to be a treacherous investigation. They must deal with some rude fowl before checking in on their friend's last known location. From there, a trail of clues leads them to an encounter that just might be a bit too much for our diminutive animal protagonists to overcome on their own.... NOTES Although one of the PCs in this AP has access to primal magic for healing as a relatively low XP character, it typically requires a quite advanced character to gain access to primal or divine magics in the setting, and thus the heal spell. Moreover, we made a mistake in having familiars not inherently understand masters, though it worked out in the adventure--in the setting RAW, familiars can indeed understand masters even though they cannot be understood by masters without the use of magic.

Episode 2-0: Familiar Session 0

SUMMARY We discuss the Familiar setting, by Chris Witt, and prepare a set of pregen characters for this sequence's Actual Play session. Micah says "Kids on Bikes" a whole lot, Lindsay incorrectly asserts that snakes are cute, and Tyler informs us that New Hampshire is full of flies.

Episode 1-1: Shadow of the Beanstalk

Episode 1-1: Shadow of the Beanstalk

SUMMARY An unlikely trio try to make their way upstalk and on to Heinlein; however, they find themselves pulled into a secret from deep within Haas-Bioroid's R&D. Meanwhile, a Haas-Bioroid SysOp finds his task of tracking down a rogue bioroid may be more than he initially bargained for. NOTES This is our very first actual episode of Table/flip/ and it is certainly a doozy! Speaker sound quality got a little messed up and also didn't really hit the level of clean-up that I'd have liked, but expect that to improve in future episodes. Also, I forgot to mix in the introduction of 4lyx's player, and podcast cohost, Tyler. 4lyx is a hacker and special SysOps for Haas-Bioroid.
