Posted on by

Welcome to Ready, Nerd, Go! Graphic Policy’s newest podcast focused on tabletop roleplaying games (RPGs), hosted by Alex and Enko. With the rising popularity of D&D and other tabletop RPGs, we wanted to help folks who are interested in learning about the hobby take their first steps.

On the docket for the fifth episode:

  • How do you decide on what game to play?
    • When the table thinks the game is bad…
    • Is it just you, or is the table not enjoying the game.
  • Wait, what do we do if we don’t like the game?
    • Rebooting the game to a certain part.
    • Is the game unsalvagable? Why is that?
      • Characters, plot, tone or the rule system?
      • Is it the GM’s style or is it the game style?
      • Transferring characters from one game
  • How to make an unenjoyable game enjoyable.
    • As a group
      • Rewinding time to when we had fun.
      • Giving the players agency.
