Episode #15: Bring your favourite scary movies to life! SHIVER RPG
Season 8, Episode 15

This week, Fiona and guest co host Tom talk about SHIVER: Role-playing Tales in the Strange & Unknown by Parable Games:
From SHIVER bio:
'SHIVER is a tabletop roleplaying game that you bring your favourite scary movies, spooky tv shows, and horror stories to life. Ever wanted to play through the plot of your favourite film on the tabletop? Or wanted to make sequels, prequels and original stories in the worlds of pop culture you love? SHIVER lets you play that!
SHIVER is setting neutral so you can play any story, anytime, and as anyone. Want to play a game of teens in survival mode against a zombie horde? Kids on Bikes who dread exploring a haunted house on Halloween night? Or perhaps a medieval monster hunter looking for a werewolf, vampire or mage? SHIVER can help you deliver stories and characters for anything from cult pulp classics to Cthulhu fuelled eldritch mysteries.
SHIVER is easy to learn, fast to play and immerses you in chaotic and dark magic filled stories. SHIVER’s symbolic dice keep you immersed in the story as well as cutting out pesky arithmetic for visual aids. Character creation is quick and easy with a simple skill point and ability system that get you into the story and game fast.
SHIVER is perfect for creating your one shots or short stories between main campaigns. You can also create epic long stories by tying your one-shot stories together using rules for sequels.
SHIVER is inspired by many great bits of pop culture which we really wanted to play on the table including:
Stranger Things, Dracula, Jurassic Park, Aliens, Evil Dead, Friday 13th, Hellboy, League of Extrordinary Gentlemen, Gothic stories, Hellraiser, Indiana Jones, IT, Stephen King and his works, Fallout, HP Lovecraft, The Thing, and many more...'

This week, Fiona and Hamilton check out The Field Guide To Floral Dragons designed by Kin Wald and published by Hit Point Press
From The Field Guide To Floral Dragons bio:
'The Field Guide to Floral Dragons blends the fascinating world of flowers with dragons and a dash of magic to create a fabulously floral draconomicon. Featuring Kin Wald’s gorgeous illustrations, this 200+ page book contains everything you need to spark imagination and create floral dragon-filled stories and adventures.
The Field Guide to Floral Dragons describes each flower-inspired dragon in depth, making the book a delight to read as well as use in storytelling and your games. You’ll find tales of the floral dragons’ origins, their biology and habitats, and details of their relationships with people and other floral dragons.
Throughout the book, you’ll discover insightful notes from floral dragon researchers. Within these notes, a tale of curiosity, despair, revenge, and hope unfolds. Piecing together this story from the margin notes rewards the dedicated reader with an added layer of depth.'

Bonus: Politically charged cosmic fantasy at its weirdest! Stillfleet! Bonus
Season 8
Show notes
Show notes
This week, Fiona and guest cohost Nandi discuss 'Stillfleet' is a tabletop roleplaying game about exploring ruined spacecraft and habitable earth-like planets, cut off from contact with Terra for decades or centuries…
Set in a paradoxically bleak and vibrant superfuture, 'Stillfleet' empowers players with simple, intuitive mechanics and hundreds of options for powers.
Built on a foundation of political tension between the Co. and its medieval market-worlds, Stillfleet is its own timespace paradox: it’s a rules-light system with hundreds of options for powers. And it’s a genre-vaporizing work of science fiction that you can hack apart and make your own.
Check out Nandi on the 'Right Quick' podcast and 'The Young: A Walking Dead TTRPG Actual Play' Show!

This is a rich realm that hides many secrets and fosters competing powers. Ancient lore lies buried here. Genie clans scheme and sabotage each other. Merchants, assassins, monsters, ancient relics, and cabals are as integral to Calimshan today as they are entwined in its history. Here, adventurers protect caravans traveling across the desert, quest for ancient mysteries, seek fame and fortune, collaborate with genies, and master potent magic.
