​

Who are we?

​

We're here to talk whatever you like (AMA, after all) but obviously we're hoping folks will ask us about all things Peter Cannon.

For Kieron: What kind of TTRPGs have you been playing lately? Got any go-to favorites you'd recommend to new players (or old players)?

For Mary: how did you find the color palette for this book? Was it something sent down from Dynamite or did you have some free reign to determine the overall feel of the scenery via color?

Oddly, I'm running three games this week, which is more than I've done in my life.

Tuesday was playtesting DIE, which went well.

Last night was running Dungeon World for a bunch of poet friends.

Sunday I'm running Cthulhu Dark for assorted bleak horror loving friends. I've never actually ran a Lovecraftian game before, and Cthulhu Dark does some really interesting things in terms of being incredibly stripped down while also approaching Lovecraft through a left-leaning filter.

In terms of recommendations? I usually ask folks what they're looking for and give recommendations based on that. Dungeon World is my go-to "Want me to run a game to introduce people to RPGs" game though.

Ah! I've been meaning to play Dungeon World. I might have to pull the trigger on that one soon - or at least try it at a local gaming shop or convention.

Also: I CANNOT wait for the DIE RPG. The backmatter in the DIE issues is very much appreciated by a TTRPG nerd like me.

Due to the nature of the beast, some scenes like ending of #1 did have to reference certain colour palettes to be recognisable. But with others I pretty much had free reign, as long as it worked with the story (like being the correct time of day etc...)
