Episode 302: Jack the Riffer

July 20th, 2018 | Robin

 

In the Gaming Hut we look at how the same adversary can play very different roles from one game to the next. Serving as an example is Red Jack, created for Night’s Black Agents but presently contemplating a killing spree in The Yellow King Roleplaying Game.

The Tradecraft Hut examines China’s latest hacking coup against the US, snaffling up 614 gigs of tech specs on the Sea Dragon submarine munitions project.

In the Narrative Hut we weigh the various definitions of the word protagonist, deciding which one of them is the most useful to writers.

Finally Ken’s Time Machine surveys the adjusted timeline that would result from  rescuing Polish resistance hero Witold Pilecki from execution by the Soviet-backed regime in 1948.
