Strain 90 - ETT

Episode description

Ocho and his co-hosts, including 2TonWaffle and Jimmy the Rabbit, are discussing their show about the Secret World IP. They mention technical difficulties with audio and Windows issues. The conversation shifts to updates on the tabletop role-playing game (RPG) based on the Secret World universe. Brandon from Star Anvil Studios joins the discussion, sharing insights into the development of the Secret World Table Top Game core rulebook, which has been sent out to backers. He talks about the challenges faced during production and the collaborative effort involved in creating the book.

Brandon also mentions plans for the RPG, including a story arc spanning multiple books and an upcoming Kickstarter for a Savage Worlds edition of the game. He explains that Savage Worlds is a faster-paced system compared to Dungeons & Dragons 5e, allowing for quicker combat and easier session planning. The team discusses the importance of character motivation and the unique aspect of the Secret World setting where characters can't die permanently, which influences gameplay dynamics.
