Bonus Experience episode 3—uh, 5: Player Engagement and Trust

Episode 3—er, 5—is a misophobic nightmare, and we apologize about that. It was an adventure just to recover it, frankly.

This week, we’re talking about player engagement and trust, how to earn these nebulous things, and why they’re important to begin with. We also hear from every organic creature within 20 feet of either microphone, as well as initiate some discussion of the La Croix Mysteries.

The kickstarter for Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought has 9 days left! Monica’s put a lot of work into this! Give it your support!

Bonus Experience episode 4: War Stories, vol 1

Welcome to episode 4, where Monica and Rai wax nostalgic about some hilarious roleplaying game events from their past (coughshitwizardcough). Apologies to anybody who recognizes themselves. Unless you were a jerk. Then we’re not sorry.

(No, you’re not freaking out—there isn’t an episode 3. It’s a long story and Margaret is working overtime to recover it)

Bonus Experience episode 2: House Rules

Welcome back! Today we’re talking about how house rules and game design are two peas in the same pod as well as why you should house rule, when you should house rule, and how you should house rule. We also accidentally create the greatest D&D supplement that never was.

Correction from Monica: It’s the Gem of Incomparable Wellness. My books are not in the studio*.
