Show Recaps
Here are summaries of new episodes from Misdirected Mark Productions this past week:
Mastering Dungeons – Updating Old Adventures Part 8
Concluding the series on updating adventures from prior editions of D&D, Shawn and Teos go over some of the things they’ve learned over the last eight episodes and develop some conclusions on how GMs can better represent the stories they like to their players.
Misdirected Mark #468 – Player/Character Secrets
Phil, Bob, and Jerry discuss managing secrets in your game and the differences between secrets kept by characters and those kept by players. Aftershow and preproduction show notes available for Patreon supporters!
Panda’s Talking Games 271 — Table Rituals
Phil and Senda chat (at a pretty high level) about rituals at your table (as players, not in game or religious) and how they work in our own groups. For a much more expert look at rituals around playing and designing games, we’d highly recommend you check out Meguey Baker’s post on it! Bamboo Lounge available for Patreon supporters!
Bonus Experience 05×02-Forever GM or Game Ambassador?
Today Monica and Rai tackle the thorny subject of always being stuck in the GM seat. Is that a good thing? A bad one? Neither? We discuss the ups and downs of being the game facilitator and how to feel less anxious about stepping into the role yourself. Also discussed in the extended cut: anime about boys, Kevin the cockatiel, Tony’s Chocolonely, and a variety of recommended activities to do while high.
