For this episode, Kalum is joined by:
- Kira Magrann, a multi-award-winning game designer, and author of “Body//Hack“, “A Cozy Den“, “Something Is Wrong Here” and “Fly Softly“,
- Phil Vecchione, co-host of “Misdirected Mark Podcast” and “Pandas Talking Game“, as well as the author of “Hydro Hacker” and “Rockerboys & Vending Machines“
Today, we are discussing “Hackers” from 1995, directed by Iain Softley.
As usual, we review this film and discuss ways it could inspire tabletop RPG adventures, characters or practices.
Mentioned tabletop RPG settings and systems:
- “GURPS Classic: Cyberpunk” by Loyd Blankenship for Steve Jackson Games
- “Sink” a game in development by Kira Magrann
- “The Sprawl” by Hamish Cameron and Lillian Cohen-Moore for Ardens Ludere
- “Blades in the Dark” by John Harper for One Seven
- “Tales from the Loop” by Simon Stålenhag, Nils Hintze and Tomas Härenstam for Free League Publishing
- “Keyboards & Rollerblades“, a game in development by Phil Vecchione inspired by “Lasers & Feelings” by John Harper
- “Hydro Hacker” by Phil Vecchione for Encoded Designs
- “Mask: A New Generation” by Brendan Conway for Magpie Games
- “Final Lap” by Nicolas ‘Gulix’ Ronvel
- “Fly Softly” by Kira Magrann
- “Paris Gondo – The Life-Saving Magic of Inventorying” by Kalum for The Rolistes
We also referenced:
- “Panda’s Talking Games 55: Planning“, an episode of Panda’s Talking Games which talked about heists.
- “Daria, Alienation, and the Limits of Irony” a video essay by Michael Saba
Since this episode was recorded a long time ago, the announcement at the end is not up to date. Our next episode should be about “The Name of the Rose” historical mystery film from 1986 directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, based on the novel by Umberto Eco.
See you then for more silver screen extravaganza.
Cheers
Kalum
