#352 - Discussion: Emergent Theme in TTRPG Campaigns

Brandon, Greg, and Mike discuss theme in ttrpgs (home games and actual play), the differences between what you expected from a game as the GM going in and what the game ended up being about, and asking questions about/in your game while making room for others to bring their own questions and answers. They bring examples from Speculate series as well as other games they've run, including Valloward, The Case of the Cindered Seal, Rebel Crown: Splendour & Shadow, and Curse of Strahd.Check out our Court of Blades series “Valloward” at https://bit.ly/3yh6Bxh (now an Official Selection for the 2023 New Jersey, Minnesota, and Baltimore Next Media Web Fests!) and watch any of our completed series or one-shots at speculatesf.com/videosYou can help us make the show the best it can be by becoming a subscriber to our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/speculate – You’ll also get even more content (including Fractal Spire extras, bonus episodes, access to behind-the-scenes material like GM streams and session zero recordings, and more!)This episode was edited by the amazing Rudy Basso (find him at https://twitter.com/RudyBasso).
