Role Play Chat

By RolePlayChat

Hello and welcome to Role, Play, Chat! A biweekly forum where Mat sits down with members of the TTRPG community to chat about Role-Playing Games, like Dungeons & Dragons! Through discussions we will probe different aspects of being a Game Master or a Player, asking ourselves the same questions you might be pondering! I believe we will be sharing valuable insight in the hobby and want to take you along for the ride as we journey towards becoming better Game Masters. So sit back, relax and let's Chat!

Monster Design with Makenzie De Armas - S4E7

Monster Design with Makenzie De Armas - S4E7

This week I'm joined by Makenzie De Armas to talk designing monsters! Every game, every system has monsters (in some sense) and they play a critical component to telling stories. So how do the pros do it? How can we build fun monsters for folks to run, players to fight against and designers to build! We go over: - Some "broken" monster stories and how to balance them;

- Monster statblock design principles,

- A peak behind the curtain on how monster's are designed at the wizard's tower, and

- Advice for adapting content from other sources into a monster.

If you liked Makenzie's wisdom you should totally check out her socials @MakenzieLaneDA or check out her website: https://www.makenzielaneda.com/

Should characters die before their player is ready? with Sean and Shannon S3E20

Should characters die before their player is ready? with Sean and Shannon S3E20

Character death is without a doubt the biggest consequence a player can be subjected to in this hobby. Working out when and how a character dies though is not something everyone agrees on. Should the dice dictate or should a player have a say? In today's episode I try something new. Join Shannon and Sean from Paradice Productions as we talk about a GMing philosophy Sean has developped. One of the elements of this ideology is that a player character should only die if their player is ready for them to die. Join the three of us as we dissect this philosophy and what impacts it may have on a game.  If you liked Shannon & Sean's insights (who am I kidding, of course you did) you can find them on twitter at @sroby25 (https://linktr.ee/shannonroby) & @odo_sean (https://linktr.ee/odo_sean) respectively.  Enjoy!

Mysteries with Jes "the Human" Wade S3E18

Mysteries with Jes "the Human" Wade S3E18

What makes a good mystery in a TTRPG? Should players alter their play style? Should GMs prepare or run games differently then they normally do? Listen in on this week's episode of Role Play Chat as Jes and I discuss everything about playing, runing and writting mysteries in tabletop RPGs.

If you liked Jes' insights (who am I kidding, of course you did) you can find them on twitter at @Jesthehuman. You can also take a look at Jes' games here: https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?author=Jes%20Wade&affiliate_id=3513284.

Adding Energy to Combat with Homie & the Dude - S3E17

Adding Energy to Combat with Homie & the Dude - S3E17

Combat is a critical pillar of most tabletop roleplaying games. This is especially true in games like Dungeons and Dragons, where characters are built with combat powers and skills! It's easy to fall into a habit of looking at combat as a purely mechanical part of the game but there are so many interesting opportunities for the narrative of the game and for the characters personalities to shine through. Join us this week as Tom and Bodhi from Homie & the Dude talk to me about how to add energy and spark to combat. We also cover how those strategies translate into vehicular combat (like boats and airships).    If you liked Tom and Bodhi’s insights (who am I kidding, of course you did) you can find them on twitter at @HOMIEandTheDUDE. You can also take a look at their website for more details about their content: https://homieandthedude.com/  Enjoy!

Currency with Richard Kelly, Designer of Sunderwald - S3E16

Currencies might be more than you think!

Today i am joined be Richard, a seasoned game designer to talk about currency in games.

Consequences with Jeremy Cobb from Three Black Halflings S3E3

Consequences with Jeremy Cobb from Three Black Halflings S3E3

A surefire way to make a players actions and decisions impactful is to make them consequential. Showing a player or a party the effects of their decisions, or better yet, making them deal with those decisions by creating new opportunities and obstacles for them can really imerse them in the world and make them feel ownership over the narrative that is being constructed. This week I am joined by Jeremy from Three Black Halflings (amoung other things!) to take a deep dive on the topic and help you understand how to make your players actions consequential all while keeping the game fun and enjoyable for all.

If you enjoyed Jeremy's insights I highly recommend you check him out on twitter @JeremyCobb1 and check out his podcast @3BlackHalflings wherever  you listen.

Environmental Storytelling S2 E34

Telling a story can take on many forms when playing in a Tabletop RPG. One of the most immesrive ways is through environmental storytelling. This is a form of storytelling that videogames have mastered, but how does it translate to the tabletop? In this episode I am joined by friend of the show vince to discuss the pros, cons, our personal experiences and strategies for applying this fun and engaging storytelling to the our games. 

Enjoy! Mat

Multiclassing With Jarred From Monsters & Multiclass S2 E33

Many Tabletop RPGs allow players to dabble in different classes, learning skills from all groupings they are a part of. In this week's episode I am joined by Jarred from Monsters & Multiclass and we chat about the different impacts multiclassing has on the game. Be it as a Game Masters or as a Players multiclassing can empower players to explore new and creative avenues both narratavily and mechanically. We discuss the pros and cons and what you need to consider if you are going to be playing a game as (or with) a muliclassed hero.   Enjoy! Mat And if you like Jarred's insights, I encourage you to check him out and give his podcast a listen.
