Running the Game is a video series presented on youtube by Matthew Colville since 2016. This podcast is simply and audio version of that video playlist, for those of you who prefer audio content in podcast form.

Keep in mind, this is audio originally from a video, so there may be visual cues or gags you will not get. If you want the full video experience, please visit Matthew Colville's youtube playlist for Running the game, which can be found here.

I do not own any of this content, and I do not make any money off of this content.

Episode Specific Notes

You only have fun if your players have fun. So make a campaign world where they can see themselves or the people they want to be.

I'm moderating comments for this one because I feel like I've been lucky in the community here thusfar and I kinda don't want to jinx it. Otherwise intelligent people whom we'd all like, sometimes go a little tilt when these subjects are raised.

And yes, I realize the irony of doing a video like this and posting clips with a Spaniard playing an Arab and a Mexican playing an Arab. Movies are cultural touchstones and occupy a different space than your gaming table. Context is everything.
