I’m an advocate for pushing RPGS into new places and have written at least one article here over the years that in reflection got a little bit to esoteric. But I think it’s important to occasionally balance the scales. So let’s look at those suppositions.

Last article, I was fully on the soapbox. I talked about how you can change up your expectations of an existing system if you feel stuck in a rut, but also don’t want to change the system. At the end of the article, I said I’d revisit some of the ideas to shake up the campaigns I’ve had over the years.

Roleplaying games are an odd beast, aren’t they? Explaining one of them to someone who has no idea what one is is quite complex, because you’re both explaining telling a story & playing a game at the same time.

When we look at any scene in an RPG, it is taking place somewhere.

I have hit a player issue that I hadn’t thought about before that actually goes back to the first ever Genre Police article I ever wrote.
