After a holiday break, Klauss, Seyrr, and Taliz are joined by Justin Blasdel, author of Final Fantasy VII – Old World of Darkness, a fan-created adaptation and scenario using the Old World of Darkness tabletop role-playing system and based on the world of Final Fantasy VII. We talk about his love of both FFVII and the Old World of Darkness system, what prompted him to combine the two, and what the process was like. In a shortened Lorbrarian’s Corner, Seyrr talks about The Tempest and Amaurot. We also discuss the upcoming 14-hour broadcast and Live Letter 56, talk about Taliz’s time at KupoCon Port Pom, learn about what A Stage Reborn is up to, and go over a recent SE Blog post introducing us to the FFVII Development team. Enjoy!
