Hello Dan! I just now discovered your channel when it turned up in my YT screen and thoroughly enjoyed this (as an old school D&D grognard myself). Happily subbed to your channel!
Gotta say, the channel you and your mates have made, is really well done! I can tell much love and preparation went into it ahead of even the first video! Looking forward to more of what you guys do :D
Once in a blue moon, the algorithm throws something up which is actually really good, instead of clickbait nonsense. This is one such video - really enjoying it. Well done guys. I'll be subscribing to you both. Keep up the good work!
To me, the best thing about playing games over video is that it's so much easier to schedule people to get together and meet up without driving, childcare, etc.
Is Hankerin rocking a Quick Stop shirt? If that's a clerks reference, somehow HF has gotten even cooler. The format for the show was bananas but i absolutely loved it!
As a Runehammer fanboy … er, shield wall member gotta say this was fun. Especially liked the d100 format. It looked like Brandish got into conversation mode. I hope more creators will join you!
A wish list!? Heck yea! This won't be short.(sorry). First, DM Scotty. I love watching the guy, his joy for the game is as contagious as the system he created, EZD6. Chris McDowall (Into the Odd) and some people his game inspired: Yochai Gal (Cairn), Questing Beast (Knave) and you already did Runehammer. Then there's the straight up 6-Stat OSR group: Kelsie Dionne of Shadowdark, Chris Gonnerman of the open source Basic Fantasy RPG, and Gavin Norman of Old School Essentials. And Johan Nohr and Pelle Nilsson, I have yet to play Mork Borg but man, the aesthetic blows me away.
About those solid, opaque, yellow dice..... Yep. mine are green. =) I've recently fallen in love with some solid, opaque, green dice from Roll4Initiative, with their "Arch d4"s. I'm starting to get into PF2 where you use a lot of d4s and the Arch d4s are SO much better than the classic pyramids. Great interview!
As a Wizard player, I am the fastest mofo at the table. I either know what I want to do before it's my turn and I spit it out or I don't, and if I don't I blurt something.
In my opinion, DMs are not storytellers (and a roleplaying game is not best played as a storytelling game. If you want to play a storytelling game, there are games designed as storytelling games that do that much better). A GM places challenges in front of the players, the players try to solve the challenges, and after you are done playing, then you can tell the story (or stories) about what happened at the table. As a byproduct of play, a story may emerge. It occurred to me recently that, at some time in the past (maybe around 3rd edition of D&D?), professional writers took over the design and adventure making of D&D; as opposed to the original D&D material which was written by a shoe repairman and a security guard, and other wargaming hobbyists. Sometime around then the game became about telling stories (which is just what you would expect a writer to be interested in) rather than the exploration of maps by PCs and combat with fierce creatures to obtain treasure [in a hexcrawl or a dungeon delve]. Video game influences (which are much more linier and similar to chose your own adventures) also began to influence TTRPG design [for the worse in my opinion]. Modules began to be written as movement from plot point to plot point, rather than allowing characters to roam around in the sandbox pursuing their own ideas and motivations. It seems like this was around the time that the term "railroading" arose and was used as a derogatory term by those of us who had grown up playing the open world/sandbox type of campaign to describe these ‘plot driven’ 'straightjacket' type of adventures. The linked videos are a great example of this point of view (which I agree with): ruclips.net/video/4c9BoqE-jeY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/PIQpVNbLwuE/видео.html The 'story' is what happens at [or away from] the table AFTER the GAME is finished for the evening, when tales are told of what happened during the game. When I hear GMs, game designers and players talking about the three-act structure, overlaid by the Shakespearian five act structure, and then talking about the 'realization moment' in screenplays [coming at approximately page 80], and the climax of the story, and [heaven help us] the denouement, etc., etc., I know that I am listening to someone who likely learned to play after the rise of the 'storytelling/video game' type of adventure. Back in 1974, when age 10 to 25 year old 'kids' were putting together their D&D worlds and building sandboxes for others to play in, we had little formal education about 'story structure' and the like [and wouldn't have thought about using it in the design of a 'dungeon' or wilderness adventure anyway], but we knew enough to create situations and challenges for players to overcome, which creates the environment for conflict (which is critical to drama), and with players having created motivated characters who were seeking fame and fortune, and were placed in such a sandbox environment, they organically created story through play. Look at things like the Judges Guild materials from the late 70s. They are filled with locations, creatures, NPCs, random tables and such and not plot points, a main narrative, etc. A DM is not a storyteller and RPGs are best used as role playing games (which creates an immersive experience), and not storytelling games.
Conan is #1 and Predator #3 on my list as well. Which is hilarious because I'm not a huge fan of Arnold as an actor, he just happens to be the lead in two of my top five. Blade Runner is #2.
My thing that everyone likes that I don't like is definitely Space Hulk. I've owned two versions of the game and find it brutal to the point of not being enjoyable and a game where luck is more important than tactics. Not good for something that is supposed to be a tactical game.
You probably should've rigged it so the first question was DnD related, if someone wasn't already onboard with Runehammer being the underrated legend that he I feel like a large amount of people looking for DnD stuff will click off
That's because it is not really D&D. Yes that is the name of it because WotC owns the TM. But the game ceased being D&D with 3.x Not that the updated mechanics, as they didn't change the feel of the game. The major rule changes were problematic to the feel and flavor of the game. It has been further down hill since then. Which is why I switched in '04 to a game Gary G. helped design as the real 3rd Edition D&D. Have played it ever since.

Great interview. I learned something new about Hankerin. Loved the format and how much fun ya'll had doing it.
Great premise for an interview, love it!

Nice! You know what a better way to describe it would be? Gonzo!
It says Philadelphia under the Quick Stop - so I don't think it's a reference to Clerks
Yup, I would watch more of this.
I love the format of this interview. And I adore Runehammer. I own probably all his rpgs.

I put this off because of my short attention span, but I'm glad I finally watched it! Fantastically engaging interview.
