Foreshadowed all the way back in the Quinn’s quest Wildsea review

Zachary Somogyi

about halfway through at the moment and think the question about "is horror a natural bedfellow to RPGs, or are [they] just horror fans?" Is very interesting, and I'll say that I hate horror, I don't like consuming horror media, I frankly don't get the appeal to a lot of it. But when playing RPGs I love it. I like being scared in ttrpgs as a player, and I especially like unnerving my players as a dm, and I have seen it argued that the kind of old school d&d that I default to is very much aligned best with horror- which I definitely agree with!

Ok immediately after I unpaused to make my comment, Quinns and Jason say the same thing. Serves me right I guess 😅

Benjamin Cowley

For anyone else thinking “This would be really informative and useful to see [Jason] run these games”: he’s got a YouTube channel with an absolute mountain of examples of him running the games. It is great

Ainar Miyata

Quinns, you interviewing Jason Cordova feels like such a full circle moment for me. You were the biggest influence on my board game journey and Jason has been the biggest influence on my RPG journey.

Declan Murphy

He did for a bit a long time ago on Shut Up & Sit Down! Here's the official written review where Quinns shares some thoughts at the end: https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/rpg-review-torchbearer/ There's also some talk about it on this podcast episode: https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/podcastle/podcast-41-misery-farkles-and-soren-johnson/

Cannot wait to play Arkham Herald.

The Gauntlet community was a real game changer for me. the last 4 or 5 years has been the golden age of gaming and game design for me and Jason is to credit for it.

I know right? The Gauntlet offering something "nasty" (you know, as opposed to all their other games??) is so intriguing

🙂 On the topic of horror players being super nice - maybe this is because the genre requires you to be much more practiced with safety tools, and more experienced on average? That seems like it would filter out players who are going to rules-lawyer, or who don't know how to avoid other arguments.

1000% I've learn how to run Brindlewood Bay & The Between by listening to the countless of hours of his actual play, they are simply great, despite being just zoom recordings without any additional production.

Hey, I'd love to watch that video, but unfortunately YouTube decided to put it behind an age restriction (maybe due to the fact that this is, or so I heard, an horror game), and the only way to clear it is to own a Google account, which I don't. Is there any way for you to make it available directly on patreon or somewhere else?

Hey buddy! I've now re-uploaded the video with the yoda bong removed and it's no longer age-restricted. Fill your boots!
