All the Tabletop are outplaying us We aim to amuse and we aim to enthuse And Morris is unofficial Tabletop RPG
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to Morris's unofficial tabletop RPG talk.
I am Russ aka Morris or Morris aka Russ and with me this week is... It's me, Jessica from EN Publishing and later in the second half of this podcast we have a special guest with us as well. We will have Mark Kenobi, the designer of Split the Horde, our board game that we're launching next week on Kickstarter, which I'm very excited about, our first ever board game. He's also a tabletop RPG writer and designer, so we'll be talking about differences in designing for tabletop, whether it's board games or tabletop RPGs.
Yeah, a nice little conversation about the differences between board games and RPGs.
Because there are differences and similarities.
Apparently so.
Apparently so. As we'll discuss later, won't we? Yes, as we'll discuss later. But first, what's happened this week, Russ?
Well, should I tell you what happened this week, Jess?
Yes, what happened?
Well, you already know what happened this week, but I'm going to tell the listeners what happened this week.
Okay.
So I was sitting happily in my house, as one does, and the delivery driver from our local supermarket turns up in his lorry, reverses into our drive, keeps reversing, keeps reversing, keeps reversing, and reverses into the front of the house.
Right. And so did you not specify on your delivery where you wanted the groceries delivered? No.
I did not go out of my way to specify, please do not drive into our house.
Well, I think you have to admit some fault there then, Ross.
I am not admitting liability. As the Tesco driver told me, he was very apologetic because he'd knocked out one of the pillars at the front of the house and the balcony, one of the supporting pillars of the balcony. And we were like, that doesn't look safe. And he went back to his lorry and he phoned it into Tesco to tell them what had happened. And he came back and said, well, Tesco have told me not to admit liability.
Should you be saying this on the podcast just in case it becomes a thing?
I'm sure it's fine.
Okay.
All right, that's fine.
It's factual. But he did. He did. He admitted liability because he said he wanted to be honest. And so after a few phone calls to Tesco this week, they are coming out, sending some builders out to fix it. I'm glad to say because I was worried about that. But they were perfectly good about it and they're coming out to fix it. So hopefully sometime in the next week or so, we will have our pillow back, I guess.
Cool. And that's like a structural piece of the house.
It's not a decorative pillar. Yes, it's a weight-loading, load-bearing, that's the word. Load-bearing.
Excellent. It's right in front of your office, isn't it, where you're sitting right now?
It's the one in front of the front door.
Oh, okay.
Well, not in front of the front door, next to the front door. So to the left of the office.
So the building won't fall on you right now when we're recording? No. Well, I hope not. Okay, cool. Well, if the podcast suddenly comes to an end with a big crash and a bang, you'll know what's happened.
Yes, you'll know that's happened.
Anyway, but that is exciting news. Well, my week has been not as eventful, luckily. I'm doing a lot of stuff to get the Kickstarter page and the videos finished for Split the Horde because it's our first board game we've done. So I feel a little bit, I mean, there's always nervous, excited energy before you launch a crowdfunding campaign.
