Panda’s Talking Games 328 – I’m So Into It, Into It, Into It
Show us how you manage being REALLY into your game when not everyone is! Phil and Senda talk about the disparity of time spent thinking about a game between player and GM, as well as more generally when you are more excited about something than the people you are around.
Bonus Experience 06×11 – Monica and Heather Consider Ways to Keep Players Playing
Hello Bonus Babies,
I am so sorry for the huge delay – when it rains it pours. But here we are with the penultimate episode of Season Six!
Today Monica gets together with Heather (her wife) to discuss one of their mutually shared core principles of game design: participation makes the game. If you remove players from play, you are denying them the chance to experience your game. We break down what this means as well as provide good and bad examples of designing for character creation, incapacitation, elimination, and replacement. We also discuss constructive self-entertainment vs. disruptive behavior and techniques for different designs and different styles of play.
Gnomecast #172 – RPG A Day Conversation
Ang, Chris, and Senda get together to talk about some of the RPG a day questions from 2023.
