Episode 57 – Opportunities For Player Buy-In

While is important for a game master to have clear objectives when plotting out a campaign, it is also equally important to allow players the opportunity to fill in the gaps with content based on their decisions.  In what could be called an ‘organic’ episode (we started talking till a topic developed) Adam, Crazon, David and Rob discuss how to establish player buy-in.

Note:  Contrary to what the background noise might suggest, we did not record this episode in a Chuck E. Cheese.

Music: Ketsa – Love Heart

Actual Play – Tales From The Loop – Dream Machine Pt. 2

Note:  As you may have noticed, the game I posted last month and the copy text didn’t match.  This series of games was a continuation of an early Loops game that I meant to post.  Since it is too late to fix that, I’ll make the original game a prequel.   – Adam

Hilarity ensues
