Random Roleplaying games Podcasts

From Manufactured Myth & Legerdemain, a Boston RPG Company: Welcome to Roleplayer With A Thousand Faces, a podcast that examines the art and craft of tabletop roleplaying games. My name is Matt Yancik, and in addition to being a roleplayer that’s been playing and running RPGs for nearly thirty years, I’m also a teacher who uses them in the classroom. I believe that we are, each and every one of us, storytellers and communicators, and see RPGs as a valuable tool for building communication and understanding and promoting social growth and brain development in children and adults. Please join me as I take a deep dive into the literary, social, and developmental aspects of the roleplaying experience.

One Shot is a podcast about role playing games. Every month, host and Game Master James D’Amato leads a group of players on a self-contained adventure. Every adventure will be wrapped up in 4-5 episodes in time for a new story, in a new system, with new players the following month. One Shot will explore ever RP system possible to give listeners a sampling of the possibilities in the wide wild of role playing.

**Feburary 2021:** Dwarves! We’re prolonging our hiatus until 2022. We hope to be able to return earlier, but things haven’t changed in our lives and until the corona epidemic is over it’s unlikely we’ll be able to go back to any routine. We’re interested in doing at least something weekly or semi-weekly, even if not a podcast – if you have any ideas, please send us! To show@dwarfcast.net What do we mean when we say rewards beyond loot? Not just money, treasure or magic items. Let’s give a few examples and it’ll be clear. ## Non loot rewards (01:24) Some examples: – Land – Titles – Association (part of a guild/group/etc) – House / Place to live – Renown – Something personal – Narrative power ## GMs – What can we do with non treasure rewards (09:33) Why should we use Rewards in our game? – Used for character development – Flash out the setting – Connect the characters to the setting – Give players a chance to expand on what interest them in the setting – Allow a sense of accomplishment without shifting game balance ## For players (13:04) Important tips: – **Use the reward**: Otherwise it is meaningless – you have a title? Use it. You have land, define it and do something with it. You are part of the stonecutters guild? Send them rock samples, keep a journal of interesting rocks you encounter, read on wikipedia about different rocks – **Signal what interest you**: signal the GM what is the reward you might enjoy getting. How? Establish it as one of your character’s goals. – **Leveraging personal items** – **Using story items:** e.g. taking a defeated enemy’s weapon ## Summary (20:12) Non loot rewards are a great way to create engagement, character development, enhance the setting and discover what is interesting for the GM and players. Consider listening to [episode 27](https://dwarves.podiant.co/e/slaps-and-bennies-episode-27-364a24326f571a/) and [episode 19](https://dwarves.podiant.co/e/customising-the-campaign-to-the-players-episode-19-36082ec3b14f62/) to rethink some ideas. * * * ## Taking the load off (22:51) **Uri**: New 5th edition game, Playtesting for “The Makabim game” **Eran**: Sentinel Comics RPG Starter Kit * * * Email us at [show@dwarfcast.net](mailto:show@dwarfcast.net) with questions, topic suggestions, and comments, and check out [our Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/dwarfpodcast).

We hope you’re not here to learn character creation in new roleplaying systems, because here, we’re all about breaking rules to adapt the character creator to let us play as a basic, run-of-the-mill cat. We accept no cop-outs, we don’t acknowledge Homebrew materials, and we… very rarely come close to a pure and simple feline, but we do have fun along the way! Join us every other Wednesday to see what RPG we try to learn next!
