Episode 462: I Can Turn Him Into a Skink
September 10th, 2021 | Robin
The Gaming Hut kicks off a series looking at the axes of RPG design, so appropriately enough we start with elegance.
In the Architecture Hut beloved Patreon backer Nicola Wilson seeks the truth scoop on the Trylon and Perisphere, noted features of the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
Fun With Science fields a question from stargazing backer Peter McAveney, who needs to know why Betelgeuse was getting dimmer and what Aldebaran might have had to do with that.
And finally we rev up Ken’s Time Machine to see how our intrepid hero stops the Battle of Blair Mountain.

Fear Is a Fractal …and your world is a lie. A horror freed from an antique book reverberates through reality. But don’t despair. There is hope. A King waits for us. And Impossible Landscapes, the first campaign for Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game waits for you. In PDF now, hardback in May. Hailed as “one of the best RPG campaigns ever made” and “a masterpiece of surreal horror!”

For a game where “variety”/”ornament” is core to the game experience (and not in a Dangerous Dimensions/Dangerous Journeys way), I’d point to Deadlands (the original version), where every possible resolution system known to gaming at the time shows up somewhere.
Fun fact: JoDee (my wife) is a member of the AAVSO and her research focus is on variable stars. Got a big ol’ grin over here listening to this episode. Thank you!
I’d like to nominate for consideration as an elegant system Risus, the game designed in 5-7 pages total.
