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:

907 Finding My Blend: System Fluid

Roleplay Rescue ·

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

906 Mondays In Mystamyr

Roleplay Rescue ·

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

Evil Jeff wants to know: "When are we going to hear about Webster’s style?"It’s actually a little more complex - at least in MY head - than it might at first seem.

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

2021/06/19

Two changes in my life have opened up a larger-than-expected chunk of free time. I’ve been able to turn over some of that time to gaming… and, specifically, to solo tabletop gaming. How have I found the time and why, having found some time, would I not just schedule it for more social gaming? That’s what I wanted to address today.Thanks to Reese for the call-in that inspired the episode.Roleplay Rescue Details:Roleplay Rescue Theme Song and incidental music by TJ Drennon.Voice Message:

902 The Magic Of Dice

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/06/12

What is it with dice? Why do these small objects hold such a fascination for me? How can something as simple as a six-sided die have such an impact on how I think and feel? Today I want to talk about dice. I want to talk about dice because, for me, these are probably the single greatest mood enhancer that I know. When I am down - and that can be a pretty frequent emotional state for me - dice are a useful trick for kick-starting some positivity and getting me back to an equilibrium.Roleplay Rescue

I’ve arrived at a place of change and growth.

Hello Rescuers! Yes, I’m pleased to say that it’s another bonus interview episode.

815 Return to Mystamyr: The Lure of Mythras Classic...

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/04/03

It was Friday April 1st 2016 when my regular D&D group got together and, on a whim, decided to play “Red Box” D&D (BECMI). The weekend before, I’d been doodling around with that set and enjoyed myself enough to ask the guys to play the “First Adventure” with me. Little did I know that I was taking the first steps into a larger World - the classic fantasy realm of Mystamyr.Today, I am treading softly and steadily towards that realm I first discovered back in 2016. It’s the realm that led to

814 Firing Up GURPS Campaigns with Christopher R. Rice

Roleplay Rescue ·

2021/03/27

Hailing from Portsmouth, Virginia, Christopher R. Rice is constantly writing, tinkering with, and running GURPS. A frequent contributor to Steve Jackson Games’ Dungeon Fantasy and Pyramid, if he's not writing for GURPS, he's blogging about it. His site “Ravens N' Pennies” is well-stocked with more GURPS goodies than you could shake a stick at. This episode was originally conceived as a bonus interview but, having recorded and edited it, I realise that Christopher has acted as a powerful catalyst in
