RPPR Episode 76: GM with a Thousand Plot Hooks!
Sponsor: For the latest news covering the entire tabletop role-playing industry, turn to Roleplayers Chronicle at roleplayerschronicle.com!
Synopsis: We’ve talked a lot about campaign structure in the past but in this episode we discuss a new way to think about your campaigns. Namely, how to make a character-focused campaign as opposed to a sandbox or central plot focused game. We use long standing TV series to illustrate the differences and use our own personal experiences to provide helpful advice about it. We also have special guest, Thad from the AP podcast, show up. No letter from Tom, but we do have three letters from listeners and shout outs!
Shout outs:
- Soundless Mountain: Well-made demake of Silent Hill 2
- Adventure Time: We’re spirits of inquiry and BLOODLUST!
