Talented Gamemasters read speculative fiction to provide advice on how to run games within those world, borrow elements from those world for your own games, and recommend similar media to inspire your table top games.
We’re here with three new gamemasters, Alex Jackl, Sean Murphy and Ian Eller to explore the new Universe by James S. A. Corey, the creators of the Expanse. The Mercy of Gods, the first book in the Captive’s War series pits the human-like Anjinn against the overwhelming forces of the technologically superior and authoritarian Carryx who come to conquer them.
This book proved a real challenge to bring to the table top space but Alex, Sean and I did an admirable job.
