Episode 413: Live from Gen Con Online
September 18th, 2020 | Robin
Convention season has gone into hibernation, but that didn’t stop us from doing a live episode at Gen Con Online. The Nerdtrope deck served up a duplicate, but that didn’t stop us from sticking in a ringer. Robin’s Internet was spotty, but that didn’t stop Ken from vamping in his absence. Robin’s mic had to be closer to his humming desktop than a normal episode, but that didn’t stop heroic audio editor Rob Borges from saving the technical day! Join us in not stopping the show as we all dream of a return to in-person events.

I have been running a Greek mythology solo game for my wife for several years now, using BESM Third Edition. It’s a fairly simple system that, while originally designed for anime, works well with pretty much any cinematic/heroic genre, at a wide variety of power levels. It’s required me to stat up a lot of characters and creatures from scratch, though 2E sources like BESM Fantasy Bestiary have helped a great deal. I’ve also used GURPS Greece, Green Ronin’s Trojan War (for D&D 3.5), and TSR’s Age of Heroes (for AD&D 2E) for general reference, in addition to the myths themselves. Is BESM the best possible system for the material? Probably not, but it’s worked fine for us.
I’ve actually been working on a 30s Canada supplement for a while now…
