*Narrative Control – Episode 83: What would John Harper do?”

Inspired by Alex Roberts and Marcelo Duarte Ferrari to start recording again, I got on the horn with John and we talked about how his gaming style affects his design and all the pieces of the venn diagram that make for a good times at the game table.

I have now forged my own blade.

I’m ready for the larp edition John Harper 

Purely for academic reasons I post this:

Extortion and blackmail are similar in concept, but there are differences between the two:

Extortion is a form of theft that occurs when an offender obtains money, property, or services from another person through coercion. To constitute coercion, the necessary act can be the threat of violence, destruction of property, or improper government action. Inaction of the testimony or the withholding of testimony in a legal action are also acts that constitute coercion.

Blackmail, in contrast to extortion, is when the offender threatens to reveal information about a victim or his family members that is potentially embarrassing, socially damaging, or incriminating unless a demand for money, property, or services is met.
