Confessions of a Roleplaying Book Collector
Once again I was looking, lovingly, over my collection of roleplaying books. As I went through them, I discovered that there was a book I hadn’t bought yet from the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition set. I immediately became anxious that my collection wasn’t complete. It had become important that I had a set, a complete set and I had found that it was less than it should be. Continue reading

Play a New RPG Month Update
It’s less than a week till the official start of Play a New RPG Month so I thought I’d write an update on what has been going on in preparation for the month. It has been pretty humbling (and downright awesome) to see people that we don’t know discussing PANRPG independently of our involvement. This means that the idea is spreading, and we couldn’t be happier. Continue reading

Play a New RPG Month
After finding out how enjoyable and fun it was to play so many different games, we decided we would start a new project. So today we are announcing Play a New RPG Month. OK, we’ve been talking about it on the podcast for ages, but this is the hard, do it now, get out there and make it happen, announcement. We want to encourage as many gaming groups as we can to break the routine and try out something new. If you are a group that already plays a lot of games, we’d still like you to join us.

So your players have gotten too rich: Dealing with a Monty Haul Campaign
We’ve all been in that position when running a roleplaying campaign. That moment when you realise that you have allowed your players to amass more wealth than is healthy. All of a sudden they are buyingtheir way out of the challenges that you place before them, there’s no magic item they can’t afford and all of a sudden they are building a huge palace or fortress on prize real estate. And then, when the locallord gets upset, they either buy him off or raise an army and go and crush him. Yes, we’ve all been there and had to deal with it in one way or the other. What follows are a handful of ways that I have dealt with it in the past as a GM, or experienced as a player. Continue reading

Introduction to Using Emotions in RPGs
We, as humans, are emotional creatures. We enjoy experiencing emotions, and a lot of the media we have (games, films, books, etc) focus on using our emotions to tell a story or create enjoyment. Understanding how people react to stimuli has been increasingly important in game design lately. Creating emotional situations in RPGs is tricky, however, because the form of RPGs can restrict you a lot, but you need look no further than the horror roleplaying genre to see what you can do. In this post we’ll look at some of the basic emotions, and an overview of including them in games. Continue reading
