GamingPerspectives

    In This Episode we discuss the idea of Roll Vs Role playing. We discuss where these different playing styles come from and how things seem to be changing for each style.    We mainly use Dungeons and Dragons as an example but these ideas and themes discussed can be applied to any genre rpg.  Knowing about the difference of these two styles can help a GM run a better game.

    In Episode Four Saul and Jolene discuss putting on a big game, or large event at a gaming convention.  We talk about our experience running a large event.  We with the help of many friends we put on Aliens: Live Action Boardgame at KublaCon in Northern California.  We discuss the elation and amount of work needed to put on a large event at a convention. 

     A special thanks to Jeff Wilcox the Special Events Co-ordinator at KublaCon.  Sorry I totally forgot his name during recording.  Without him giving my crazy idea a chance without really knowing me, allowed me and my friends to create a great experince running our Aliens: Live Action Boardgame at Kublacon.  Thank you very much Jeff!!

     Another thanks go to Rennie Saunders, Jeff's assistant who worked many times side by side getting our game ready to the show.  Could not have done the game without them both!

    And thanks to the people that helped put this event on. From Felipe who mentioned the original game he saw and said we should do it.  To the C0-Gms that helped us put on the game, from the Alien and Marine Handlers to the "Bucket Monkey" to the "Wheel of Death" holder that made our game as good as it could be.  Cipriano Morales, Cathy May, Blaine Story, Don Blake, Jolene Morales and Ken.  And to all the people that stuck around after the games were over and helped this weary group peel hundred of feet of masking tape off the floor, and take down the barriers we used in the game.  Thanks for a great experience!
