Game Designer Workshop: The Night Clerk Zine – System-less Scenarios with Caleb Stokes

Role Playing Public Radio - A podcast by Ross Payton

Categories:

A system-less RPG scenario is designed to be able to run in any system for a particular genre. Writing one is just as challenging as writing one for a single system. I’m launching a crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit for The Night Clerk, a system-less modern horror scenario, as a zine. In this episode, Caleb Stokes, author of No Security a collection of system-less scenarios, and I talk about them. I also go a bit into using Backerkit as a creator. We also discuss architectural horror and what that term means. Sign up on the Backerkit pre-launch page to receive notification when the project goes live. It should start in early September!
