913 Eisen's Vow

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/08/28

In April 1975, a scant 13 months after the publication of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax asked Sandy Eisen a question that elicited a response which I think many modern gamers would find surprising. Writing in Europa Issue 6-8, at the end of his second article on “How to set up your Dungeons & Dragons campaign”, Gygax picks up on a comment from an earlier issue of the ‘zine in which Eisen had stated that D&D was not really as open-ended as it seemed to be. Gygax wanted to know why Eisen

912 Talking Labels, Communication, and Play Styles...

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/08/21

Long overdue, this episode is an interview with Lieren from "Updates In The Middle of Nowhere". Responding to a call-in she made many moons ago, we dive into a conversation about labelling, communication as a challenge, and valuing different play styles and emphases in gaming. It has taken far too long for me to edit and ship this episode but I am hugely grateful that I did.Thanks to Lieren for making this episode with me - game on!Listen to Lieren's podcast: Updates From The Middle Of Nowhere • A

911 Basic Roleplaying

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/08/14

This episode arises from a week spent away from home and away from work. I travelled back to my home town of Norwich, in Norfolk, England, to visit my parents - a trip I haven’t taken for nigh on 2 years. Aside from family reunion and spending time with my parents, themselves ascending in age and wisdom, I also got to sit back in my old bedroom - much changed now, but essentially the space wherein, for good or ill, I grew up. With newfound awareness I had taken along my copies of two roleplaying

910 Portals to Adventure

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/08/07

As long as I can remember, I have been inspired by and drawn in to what is commonly called Portal Fantasy: a story which transports the characters into a magical world via a gate/wardrobe/magical tree or anything else the author might imagine. Today I want to explore that trope a little and try to understand why it always seems to fire up my imagination.On top of that, thanks to Frank for his call-in that rounds out this episode. Muchly appreciated!Roleplay Rescue Details:Roleplay Rescue Theme Song

908 Underdogs

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/07/24

What is it with my preference to run lower-powered fantasy games? Is it avoidance of complexity, a desire to withhold cool stuff from the players, or an underlying lack of confidence in my ability to run complex games? Or is it something else… is it my love of the underdog?Thanks to Arlen for his call-in!Arlen Walker's "Live From Pellam's Wasteland": https://anchor.fm/pellamswastelandRoleplay Rescue Details:Roleplay Rescue Theme Song and incidental music by TJ Drennon.Voice Message:

2021/07/17

While I hope this episode stands alone, it follows on from my earlier discussion in Episode 5 about the importance of worlds. Today, I want to talk about system. By this, I mean the shape of the whole game including the World but also the choice of Rules and the Methodology we choose. I am working from the general, macro scale down towards specifics. Today I want us to see the whole system first.Thanks to Evil Jeff for his call-ins!Roleplay Rescue Details:Roleplay Rescue Theme Song and incidental

2021/07/10

Six weeks ago, I stated that I had arrived at a place of change and growth. I had turned 50 years of age and was beginning to wonder if I’d ever become the Game Master, Referee, and Creative World Builder that I have been meaning to get around to becoming since I was about 10 years old. I have had to learn to let go of old unhelpful patterns of thinking and rechart my pathway back to the hobby. So, as we reach the six episode of the series - what is to me a natural waypoint on my journey - I’m

904 Two Ways, One Me

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/06/26

Sometimes I feel like the proverbial Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, torn between two natures, two personalities, two ways of being.I love roleplaying games. I have loved them ever since I was very small. And yet, because of these two seemingly opposed natures, I feel constantly conflicted.How I can I reconcile these two characters within my one limited self? The answer, I believe, comes from embracing them both and bringing them into cooperation.Roleplay Rescue Details:Roleplay Rescue Theme Song and
