Both RPGs and fiction draw heavily on historical cultures and narratives, even for a new setting. This panel recorded at Gencon 2013 discusses how real history can be twisted, altered, mashed up, or remixed to create compelling games. It features industry veterans Keith Baker, Jessica Banks, Kenneth Hite, and Lewis Pulsipher.

This year, I recorded a workshop about using the level editor in Shadowrun Returns, including the screencast footage. Thanks to Brian Poel and Mike Mulvhill for letting me record this workshop.
Synopsis: This seminar with Dennis Detwiller, Kenneth Hite, Shane Ivey and Greg Stolze is about historical superhero games. Arc Dream has two games along those lines: Godlike and the Progenitor setting for Wild Talents, so they have some background in the topic. If you’ve ever wanted to run an alternate history game, even without superheroes, this panel would be a must listen!
