      Another good reason both Jolene and Saul wanted to play was that Bay is an excellent GM and has not disappointed either Jolene or Saul in a game that he has run.  So Saul was hesitant about the rpg ruleset “working’, Jolene was super eager to play in a real mystery RPG adventure.

     Saul and Jolene have mentioned Brindlewood Bay on previous episodes but it was from an opinion of just reading the rules and reading other peoples opinion of it. Now that they have both played the game, they decided it would be a good thing to review the game on an episode.

   Thank you for Listening.

          One of the many plights of GMs of RPGs is the dreaded getting the players to learn a new game.  Due to Saul's seeking to find that perfect RPG or just likes the "new shiny."   Due to this affliction Saul tries to share this affliction with all his players.  In some of Saul's groups the players groaned everytime they heard Saul had bought a new game.  In other groups his players were curiosious about some of the games in Saul's extensive RPG library.       In both groups the playes learned the game to various degrees of expertise.  Saul and Jolene were talking about how, you as a GM, you can make players learn the rules.  Looking at the various degrees of success in Saul's gaming experience, Jolene decided it would make a good subject for an episode.     Thank you All for listening.

Social rules in Rpgs is something that is usally overlooked or not included in RPGs.   As the hobby gets more and more people outside the Wargame Hobby the idea of rules including social conflict rules.   Looking at posts about this subject many of those posting stated that they did not like the idea of one simple roll of the dice to determine social conflict.  From convincing the guard to let them in without an invitation, trying to get information from a witness not wanting to cooperate, to gaining favor from a warlord.   These are all examples of Social Conflict in RPGs.        Some games have social conflict rules, other include some rudimentary rules, while other rules completely leave out these kind of rules.  Saul and Jolene discuss how these rules might work but then segue onto the subject of Social Rules at the RPG Table.  This is most important at public or convention games where you are likely to play with complete strangers.         As Always Thank You All for Listening

     Saul and Jolene were talking about some bad dice rolls that were happening in the last session of their Shadowrun 5th Edtion game.  The discussion covered how players usually do not want to roll bad and be reletively successfull in all their characters endeavors.  But what when rolls go bad, really bad.      The idea of Leaning into Bad Rolls came up and Saul and Jolene decided to do an episode on "Leaning  into Bad Rolls".   Not simple failures as in missing in combat or failing a skill roll but failing critically.  What can GMs and Players do when misfortune falls upon the bold..     Thank you all for listening.     If you want to contact us for any reason please email Saul and Jolene at gamingperspectives.com@gmail.com    Web Art by Jim Foster     Espisode Art by Michael Shean-Jones

       At the end of 2022 AI art websites started to emerge.  In RPGs where art is utilized from the making of RPGs and supplements in various forms to, GM using art to help describe their world, to players who usually like to have a picture of their favorite character art and RPGs is a long and close relationship.      Saul and Jolene heard about this and at the time didn't think it was a subject to make an episode for our podcast.  But A.I. art has grown in usage and it has been learning at an incredible pace.   Saul even dabbled in using MidJourney to do some images for his Bladerunner game at a local   game con.        Saul noticed that quite a few small publishers were using AI art in their projects.  Chaosium stated that they would not be using any AI art in any of their projects.  As AI art gets better and easier to use how will impact RPGs and artists that work in the RPG industry.

    Hey There Listeners,    Saul and Jolene were not going to enter the fray with the OGL "Contraversy" but news about the subject keep coming every day.  From the leaked new OGL called 1.1, to the reaction by those from the gaming community we had friends and listeners asking our opinion.  Though it seemed like a question of a legal matter, as it deals with contracts and we are not lawyers, it seemed out of our realm to dicuss that we really didn't want to do an episode on the subject.  But so much has happened we had to devote an episode to the reaction from the gaming community to WOTC's new OGL and their response to the voices of the gaming community.        There is a lot to unpack in this episode, we recorded on Sunday morning expecting to have even more news to come out as soon as we concluded recording.        Saul and Jolene read both the OGL 1.1 and the statement posted on the D&D Beyond website and compared what each document stated.  We have included the links to each document for you to read on your own and decide for yourself.      As always we would like to thank all of you for listening.

     Saul and Jolene looked into the game he was complaining about and they agreed that because the creators of the RPG were trying to be really immersive, they were making it more difficult to actually learn the rules.  

     Even after looking at videos on how to play it became very evident that those in the videos were having some difficulty explaining the game's concepts.  Saul and Jolene decided this was a good topic for an episode.

    Though they have never played Vampire Saul and Jolene realize the impact that Vampire and the rest of the World of Darkness games have had in the world of RPGs.  With is gritty "Punk Gothic" themes Vampire hit the RPG world by storm.  Not only selling very well but also being very impactful to the Live Action Roleplaying scene.

    Full disclosure Saul and Jolene are have been fans of the Wheel of Time Books since the mid 1990's, and they both love the TV show.  

     With that out of the way this episode discusses the old WOTC Wheel of Time RPG and what other systems you can use to run a Wheel of Time game.   

     Also Saul was a bit off on his estimation of the cost of the Wheel of Time RPG which is out of print.  A few months ago people were asking about $150 tops.  Now the lowest asking price is $140 bucks.  Amazon it's $420.  And the PDF is not available.  

     Here is a link to the 5th edition conversion.  It was last updated 6 years ago but playable if you want to start playing right away.

Laws .  The other book was Improv for Gamers by Karen Twelves.  Both of these books are easily available online.  They may also be available from your favorite hobby and games store.

       That was a while ago and since then he has played many different RPGs and now Saul is thinking he may have been wrong.  Especially after looking at a few RPGs whose rules have been used for completely different genres that what the original rules were used for.

     Saul and Jolene discuss this topic with Saul using three systems that in his mind were never intended to be used as a multi-genre, generic ruleset, but actually do a great job of exactly that.

      Even in D&D having encounters that do not deal combat or fighting are possible and fun.  Saul and Jolene also talk about how adding non combat encounters might make certain players have a bit more fun especially if they didn't make combat centered characters.  

     Other elements of these types of encounters are they are usually garner more roleplaying, less things to prepare for the GM and the group as a whole can really enjoy a different pace in their RPG sessions.

      Saul would for the longest time say that was a hard "No!"  Much along the lines of playing an evil character having an embedded traitor in your adventuring party might be a game or group killing endeavor.

     Saul might have had his mind changed after buying and running the Alien RPG by Free League, where one of the types of characters is the "Company Man" who if you have seen Aliens the movie you would know why nobody would trust that character.

     Seeing what he liked in War Stories playtest PDF he decided to ask Gabriel to do an interview and see who was this creator from Miami.  Turns out that this is not Gabriel's first foray in writing gaming material.

    The first one is the easier one, and that is just start exactly where you left off.  This seems like the best and easiest way to restart or come back to a campaign.  There are some things you can do to make this a smoother transition in getting back to the action.  Saul and Jolene discuss before taking the long break is to take good notes.   Saul and Jolene also discuss recording your sessions.  This is very easy now as most games are online but as you transition to in person games, it requires a bit more work.

    The other and possibly more fun option according to Saul is letting a bit of time to pass in the game world and then ask the players where and what their characters have been up to during the break.  Saul suggest a passage of 6 to a year of game time passing giving the characters plenty of time to travel and accomplish some important tasks.

     With the Pandemic still raging across the world, though there is light at the end of the tunnel, some people are not able to play with their normal group and for one reason or another do not want or cannot play RPGs online.  And they want to still get that RPG feel from a table top game.  

     Enter the Solo RPG experience.  Saul and Jolene discuss how today's solo games are remarkably different from the "Choose Your Own Adventure Books" of years past.  Many of today Solo RPGs implement modern RPG ideas into a Solo rpg experience.  

     Saul and Jolene discuss the vast number of Solo RPGs that are available in print and in PDF format.   So you could literally be playing within minutes.  There are also quite a few Solo RPG version of many popular and obscure regular RPGs.  Some require a core book from a regular rpg, for example Alone From the Loop, needs the core book for Tales from the Loop but other are complete solo rpgs.  

     All the games Saul and Jolene discuss are available from Drivethrurpg.  By the way they do not sponsor our show in any way.

   If you are learning a new, recently published game then, according to Saul, you are in luck since we are in a "Golden Age" of RPGs.  Jolene isn't as convinced about this "golden age" but does admit that some newer rpg games are much better written than old ones.  Jolene mention her attempt to make a character using the Little Black Books of the original Traveller game, and comparing that to making a character in Liminal. Liminal uses the same 2d6 game mechanic as Traveller but that author has almost 50 years of roleplaying games as examples of rpg design.

    The next game Saul is looking forward so is Beowulf: Age of Heroes.  Saul really liked the art of Jon Hodges, who did the are for The One Ring published by Cubicle 7.  He started Handiwork Games to publish is projects from RPG gaming tiles to Beowulf.            The main thing that sets Beowulf from other games is that this is for one GM and one player.  Using the super popular 5th edition rules heavily modified for fun adventures with a single player taking the role of a heroic character to battle evil.   Filled with his art the book promises to be a beautiful RPG book.

    Saul and Jolene go over elements need in running a short session game to a satisfactory conclusion.  If you are used to running long campaigns or most commercial modules those usually are intended to rule in a much longer format compared to an adventure where you are really limited on how much time you have to run your game.  Whether at a convention or in a situation where you only have a limited amount of time to complete your adventure.

     Due to the Saul and Jolene having so many groups, who have plenty of people able and willing to GM a game, they consider themselves pretty lucky.  Still in some groups the next game is very regimented while others are very casual in deciding who will run and what game.  So in this episode Saul and Jolene discuss the way their groups decide on the next game to play or run.

     Saul starts the conversation by stating that he doesn't have a lot of experience playing or running Dungeon Crawls.  Though he does have recollection of this brother's Tunnels of Terror, but it wasn't the center of his brother's campaign.  It was something that was always there if the characters needed something to do or a chance to score some extra gold.  Though Saul doesn't remember Dungeon Crawling he does remember his brother coming up with a good system that made dungeon mapping easy for players to map.

      Jolene's experience with the Dungeon Crawl is more recent as she decided to run part of the Mad Mage Dungeon on Roll20.  She had bought the physical book and when she discovered that all the maps, encounters and treasure were also on Roll20, she decided to run their group through part of the famous dungeon.  She describes the troubles and triumphs of running the Mad Mage on Roll20 with full Dynamic Lighting.

     Saul, of course, talks about how he used to brainstorm then then commit to paper his initial ideas about an adventure.  Saul also discusses how that really didn't work for him or anybody else since he would come up with stories that he tried to forecast what the players would do.  As any GM out there that has GMed even a little bit would soon realize is that players don't do what you think they will.

    So Saul and Jolene discuss what they do now to plan there adventures.
