Hyperborea Interview - Jeff Talanian!

[@JeffTalanian]

Thanks for having me on the show! It was great chatting with you, Corey. Your channel is top-notch, and more people should check it out!

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

Thanks Jeff! You’re welcome back any time

[@spocktavian]

Thank you both for this interview. I greatly enjoyed it.

[@RollingWithAdvantage]

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

Thanks!

I'm enjoying the current version of Hyperborea, and particularly enjoyed this chat. Really good to hear Jeff talk about his past and how he came to design Hyperborea. Given how generic some 5e stuff seems to me nowadays, I really like the distinctive and different setting that he has come up with, while still retaining the flavour of the Weird Tales era.

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

It’s a great system eh? I’ve certainly had a lot of fun running it

[@davidrobertson5996]

@@Lo-Fi_Gaming_I've not had a chance to run it yet, but yes, really like it!

Great interview and the current Hyperborea rpg edition is one of my all time favorite OSR games.

[@Jesse.M22]

I've been playing Hyperborea for a year now. Absolutely fantastic.

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

Nice - do you run the adventures or do your own thing adventure wise?

[@GRWelsh7]

In Clark Ashton Smith's stories I think his Hyperborea was a prehistoric version of what is now Greenland and may also link up with the HPL story "Polaris." I've considered using some of your material for my Call of Cthulhu campaign, including in the Dreamlands.

Hyperborea has become our go to game. Love the setting and mechanics. Jeff is Great! Thanks for the wonderful interview

[@delteigeler-illustrator2099]

Awesome interview with two great writers. Thanks for the shoutouts, and hope to be a part of the Hyperborea world for a long time to come!

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

thank you sir - too kind. love your art as well!

[@delteigeler-illustrator2099]

Thank you!

[@humahuma7884]

my favorite OSR game by far.

[@merchants393]

What a great interview!

[@TheChadTI]

Played a campaign of Jeff's in the 1990's and we STARTED with no gear, in chains, on a slave ship😂 Guy is a genius. And mean!

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

Haha

[@spocktavian]

I desperately wish that Foundry VTT module comes to fruition for Hyperborea. I love playing in person too but realistically, for me and other busy adults like me, online tables are dominantly how I can regularly and reliably assemble and fire games. I can reliably play online once a week. I can play in person maybe once a quarter. A solid VTT module also makes it vastly easier to onboard new and younger players.

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

Sounds like Jeff is pretty keen to make some form of VTT available!

[@Decado1628]

Great interview. I am running Rats in the Walls tonight. My groups first foray into Hyperborea.

[@Lo-Fi_Gaming_]

Sounds fun! That’s how I got started too

[@charleyphipps4307]

Liked and subscribed! Love AS&SH. It’s probably the best retro clone game out there. Listening to the interview now.
