Big Red Couch Podcast - Turning Bad Ideas Into Games

[Pruthian Caveman]

Episode Seventy Three – … (again)



Red tape controls the Bureau for Lost Time Retrieval, but unrecorded anomalies are the operative’s bread and butter.

The Alien Invasion can only be thwarted by a Coalition of the Mad! Now all they have to do is agree on what colour to make the deathrays.

The Planner proposes a scheme and the Naysayer “helpfully” reminds them how it didn’t go so well last time. Is thwarted just another word for nothing left to lose?


Also;

“There’s clearly no one source of truth in this scenario, because everyone has their own views about things.”

“Everyone is a filthy liar.”

“Yeah”.

“Also, that could totally be the title.”

“Everyone Is A Flithy Liar.”

Hi, Borborygmus here.

I play "Ben" on the mercifully obscure RPG podcast, The Big Red Couch.

Since my co-host is going on an extended walkabout, I am considering converting it into some sort of numbers station or avante-garde interpretive mime thing.

Any other ideas?

Competitive Morris Dancing! Or better yet, Full Contact Competitive Morris Dancing!

Howdy and welcome aboard!

Those solemn and majestic rites of capering and jingling might be to powerful to be contained in a mere MP3 file.

Also, I have a feeling that Morris Dancing is *always* full contact. According to Wikipedia, some practitioners have swords?!

Howdy and welcome aboard!

Much obliged, sir!

Some sort of cheesy travel podcast, where we blatantly name-drop places in exchange for money?
It'll come in handy if our plans for selling out to Big Polyhedral don't happen.

With a bit of luck, here's a picture or two of where I was when we recorded episode 74.

You could wander into gaming stores across the globe and rope random gamers into recording with you. Or barring that you could record them giving suggestions for the Mystery Box.

Oh hi, by the way. If I heard right, I believe you're doing the phrase I submitted on the next show coming out.

I concur, though my colleague is quite bashful. And while I'm sure there are plenty of friendly folks out there, he can appear somewhat gruff. We'll have to get him to wear a t-shirt clearly stating he is not a serial killer or something.

And, yes! We have an episode for "Time Sculptors" on it's way in a week.

Thank you for an fascinating jumping off point, we had some fun with that one.

Episode Seventy Four – Time Sculptors



People in a world which is, to them, entirely normal and sensible, discover that their whole reality is a lovingly crafted alternate timeline for the tourist trade.

The very best time to steal a priceless object is in the seconds before it’s destroyed forever. If you’re a time traveling heist team, that’s not impossible, but nobody would call it ‘easy’.
