I met Edward “Sabe” Jones at Forge Midwest 2009, and we’ve kept in touch ever since. A few weeks back he was in town and we sat down to play his game Blazing Rose: A game of romantic rivalry. Joining us is Sabe’s girlfriend Misha and fellow local podcaster Jason Grabau from Diagonally Through the Woods. This was Jason’s first experience with a GMless storygame, and he had a great time with it. This is a full session of BR, covering setting, beloved, and character creation and then one round of narration. After a bit of discussion, we decided on a Fables/American Gods “mythical creatures in the modern day”. After the session we talked about how Blazing Rose was different from games Jason had been playing (mostly 4E). Stay tuned for that next week!
