À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this ravenous episode, Violet is joined by returning guest Roz Leahy as we* talk about hunger mechanics. Don’t get confused with cozy campfire cooking: we’re discussing the tension and drama of *not* getting the sustenance you need. Everyone’s gotta eat in real life, but what does it mean for our storytelling?How do you make ingestion interesting? Should there be benefits to “staying hungry”? Does it matter whether your tummy is half full or half empty? Are toothless hunger mechanics worse than none at all?And most importantly, why does mechanised hunger work great for vampires, but not so well for hunters, a grab bag of “beasts”, and *checks notes* mummies?Violet’s calamari hooks her on a white whale. Roz struggles to retain retainers. Violet snacks on a hunger bar. Roz hungers for punishment. Violet rates rational numbers. Roz has one square meal.TimestampsWhat’s new? - 0:01:18Intro to the topic - 0:11:16Content warning (eating disorders) - 0:29:41 to 0:30:49History - 0:34:37Deep dive on Vampire: the Masquerade et al - 0:51:27 to 1:04:59Taxonomicon** - 1:07:47Strong opinions about “usage dice”*** - 1:46:54 to 1:53:13Content warning (eating disorders) - 1:55:25 to 1:56:25Design Dreams - 1:56:36Wrapup - 2:09:44Design DreamsViolet - Expeditions & AnticipationsRoz - Truly Miserable Hunger: Trench Foot EditionViolet - Hungry Hungry HomunculiGames discussedCarved in StoneLeathersOD&DBluebeard's BrideHeartCastle Ravenloft/Curse of Strahd Vampire the Masquerade (in particular, 5th edition)MothershipBlack HackWilderfeastDelving DeeperBasic FantasyOSEHyperboreaChivalry and SorceryTravelerAD&D, specifically Wilderness Survival Guide, and Dark SunThe Morrow ProjectAftermath!GURPSRifts (briefly)Werewolf the ForsakenMage the Awakening and Exalted (briefly)Hunter: the Vigil D&D 3.5, 5eBeast: the PrimordialVampire: the Requiem, Werewolf: the Apocalypse, Hunter: the Reckoning, Changeling: the Lost (briefly)Mummy: the CurseMonsterheartsMasksApocalypse WorldTorchbearerRyuutama: Book of GastronomyGolden Sky StoriesLamentations of the Flame PrincessHis Majesty the WormErrantKnave (Briefly)MausritterDaggerheart (Beast Feast)Yes, ChefBakto's Terrifying CuisineAlgophiliaNechronica (Briefly)SpireSwyversOther media discussedArticles by Jay Dragon (see links below)Resident Evil & Stardew Valley (in the same breath!)It Has Come To Pass (painting by Sergei Lukin, 1958)Delicious in Dungeon / Dungeon MeshiLord of the Rings & The HobbitOutdoor SurvivalChainmail (briefly)The Complete Guide To Role-Playing Games (Rick Swan, 1990)Article by Merritt K (see links below)The Score (Thi Ngyuyen)Radical Uncertainty (John Kay & Mervyn King)Battle Chef BrigadeConsume MeFear and Hunger Notes & links* Well, not me, Freya. I’m writing the shownotes, but I wasn’t in this one!** …which does, as it happens, start with two more World (well, Chronicle) of Darkness games!*** We don’t strictly define “usage dice” in this section, though! Basically, instead of tracking item quantity / durability on a numerical scale, you roll a die of a certain size when you use it, and something bad (such as the die shrinking next time) happens if you roll badly. As Violet remarked when I was writing this comment, we *did* talk about usage dice way back in episode 1, so, long time fans will surely remember ;-) The official-ish website for ZiMo - Zine Month - doesn’t actually commit to when exactly Zine Month might happen, other than to clarify that it’s distinct from the two other things also called “Zine Month”.
