40th Gaming the Movies Column!
March 28th, 2013 by Jim Davenport
It was June 2008 when I sat down with Jolly Blackburn at the Origins convention. When we agreed to have me start a column in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine about analyzing movies for how to play them as an RPG, I didn’t know how long it might go. To be submitting my fortieth column (Boondock Saints) almost five years later is just amazing to me. To be part of KenzerCo’s Knights of the Dinner Table phenomenon is really very special.
My first article in the magazine was in Issue #100 back in 2005 (All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Firefly). It really opened doors for me and I’ve been blessed to have a nice little freelancing career ever since. My next piece for the magazine will appear in #200 and I’m very psyched!
for a game like Mr. Selfridge, or even other social based games, I recommend the game engine ‘A Dirty World’ it is film noir based, and is very impressive for social combat
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try to find a copy. Jim
