September 24, 2023 Messages for Runeslinger on the Road!
Thanks to our callers, FreeThrall, DarkFluid, Che Webster, Eloy Cintron, Joe Richter, and Jason Connerly. We have messages pertaining to the current topic of Immersion and how it intersects with our cultures and procedures of play. We have a response from Umbramancer to a call from the last episode by Jason. Umbramancer, or Eloy Cintron, was featured in the episode before that. That response connects to our D&D example episode about story as product vs story as by-product. Finally, we have some messages about Ubiquity in general and our recent Hollow Earth Expedition episode in particular.

August 30, 2023 On Immersion and Engagement, plus Listener Calls!
This episode continues ongoing discussions on theory and technique for roleplaying games. It has a series of calls from Jason of the Nerds RPG Variety Cast to connect us despite the month-long gap introduced by RPGaDAY and other commitments (such as tight editing and writing deadlines for RPG stuff) all the way back through the last few episodes of this season: Sandboxes, Layers of Play (Featuring Che Webster), and a practical example of applying these ideas to our play. This episode extends the conversation more fully into immersion as a topic for discussion and exploration.
