Roleplay Rescue

Johnn Four is the founder of RoleplayingTips.com which began in 1999 as a GM tips newsletter. Throughout the years, Johnn has published a GM advice column in Dragon Magazine, several books about how to improve your GMing, and continues to write on the topic of running better games. Johnn has teamed up with Jochen Linnemann to create Campaign Logger, a tool designed to help GMs capture all the details that get made up during sessions for the length of the entire campaign. Johnn is, however, perhaps best known for the 5 Room Dungeon which has become a well-known tool for adventure design across the RPG community.Big thanks to Johnn for joining us!RoleplayingTips: http://roleplayingtips.com/Campaign Logger:https://app.campaign-logger.com/Johnn and Jochen's Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/johnnfourGame on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:hello@rpgrescue.comBlog:roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group:mewe.com/join/roleplayrescueor search "Roleplay Rescue"Mastodon:@UbiquitousRat@ttrpg-hangout.socialRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/

On the principle that everything is play, I sat down down to work out how I want to take forward my roleplaying games hobby for the foreseeable future. I have decided to record my thinking, as if I am talking to a gaming friend, because I find this helps me to work out my ideas. None of this is new, original, or even surprising. Daniel Jones has provided me with the majority of the ideas and methods outlined here and to him I simply say “thank you”. But this is the first time I’ve brought all my notes together and tried to express them coherently. It also feels like it’s high-time I share this so that Otherworld-immersion as a goal can be more widely discussed.Big thanks to Jason for the call-in!Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:hello@rpgrescue.comBlog:roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group:mewe.com/join/roleplayrescueor search "Roleplay Rescue"Twitter:@ubiquitousratRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/

Today I want to revisit the topic of “Gaming With Teenagers”. It’s very much a conversation aimed at adults, so I’d like to apologise up front to any actual young adults listening to the podcast. Caveats aside, this all comes from my experience in setting up and running RPG gaming clubs across three UK secondary schools - aka high schools - and working with teens aged 11-18. Here are my Top Ten tips for introducing them to the hobby.Massive thanks to all the callers - to Simon from Legend of the Bones, Jason from the Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast, to Evil Jeff from Minions and Musings, and to Wiebe!  Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:hello@rpgrescue.comBlog:roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group:mewe.com/join/roleplayrescueor search "Roleplay Rescue"Twitter:@ubiquitousratRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/
