John Rogers talks The Librarians and Tabletop Gaming!
We touch on how Tabletop gaming and entertainment have influenced each other, especially when it comes to writing. John name-drops a lot of his favorite Role-playing Games, and talks a little about how shows like Leverage can wind up as properties for role-playing games!
Thanks again to John for finding the time in his very busy schedule, and good luck on the show!

Find your Path of Destiny! Available Now!
We are proud to announce today’s release of the first “Add-on” product for Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade. Jack Norris’s Path of Destiny is a helpful set of tables and character creation advice that will guide you through character generation for Tianxia. Roll Fate dice or choose your way through the tables, it doesn’t matter. There are no “Bad” options! For each step of the way, you’ll also find expanded explanations and workshop-like discussions of different options, as well as suggested Aspects and other surprising ideas.
Path of Destiny is available now from Drive-Thru RPG as a “Pay what you want” product. Pay as little as nothing, or as much as you think it’s worth. We feel this product acts as a very good “Appendix” to the Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade product, and a great way to help players jump-start character creation for a Tianxia campaign!

Running Demo Games of Tianxia (My Approach) Part 1
Tianxia Demo Games
I’ve had several people ask me if there are any sample scenarios for running a Tianxia game at conventions or for players who haven’t played Fate before. As we haven’t released our starting adventure “The Twelve Golden Butchers” yet, I thought it would be a good time to let folks know how I run demos at conventions and share my notes on doing so.
The following encounter should demonstrate how I’ve been teaching people to play Tianxia when I show the game off at conventions. I’ll try and include a map to show off Zones in an upcoming post, but for now let me concentrate on the general notes on how I run the game and what kind of challenges I give the players. I often pair this encounter with a second one based on the “Jade-Eyed Demon” scenario found on pages 168 and 169 of Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade. When I refer to the “Second Encounter” I’m talking about the villain from that plot seed.
