The Ideal GM, what is it and why does it exist. Saul and Jolene discuss the idea of having a player compare their GM from their past and comparing them to the current GM usually in a way that conveys that current GM does not measure up. Usually this is a player that has been playing a good amount of years. On the other hand it could be a new player that has seen popular actual plays and wants or expects their games to be just like that! As always thank you all for listening and

Usually this person is the one that GMs, he gets the group together, reminds players of play location(pre C0vid) and time. They call, email and generally keep the group going by herding cats, the players. So why is it important for the GM Dad to play instead of just keep doing the great job of GMing all the time.

Saul and Jolene talk about sticking to canon in RPGs. Saul usually tries to be a rebel but feels sticking to official "canon" of a setting or IP is important. It may not be really important to Saul as a fan of a genre, but when he runs RPGs, he feels that staying close to canon is important. One of the reasons it is important is because when you list or describe your game being set in a certain setting, from Star Wars to Star Trek to Forgotten Realms, the players coming to sit at your

People like the big round numbers so this is 100 weekly episode, which does not include interview or recordings from gaming conventions.
