GSN PODCAST: Dissecting Worlds: Gor
Manage episode 182082624 series 3416
Matt and Kehaar take another turn off from the Legendary Creators series to speak to James Desborough, Game Designer of Dark and Controversial Games, to speak on his current project; bringing to life John Norman’s “Gor”. This series of novels inspires a number of reactions across fandom, many of them unfavorable, but it also has its own cult (and as we discuss, Actual Cult) following. We also get into:
- Adapting properties with devoted followings
- Gor as a living, gameable world for its inhabitants
- Dark Fantasy vs The Real World
- “Butting heads” (James words!) over Gamergate
James website can be found at https://postmortemstudios.wordpress.com/ and he can be seen and heard at https://www.youtube.com/user/PostmortemVideo
