It is important that everyone feels comfortable playing, and that means talking about what is and isn't acceptable beforehand. We talk about what some of those things are and give our take on them—also, ramblings.

Talk about your what is a sensitive subject to you and give your perspective on relationships in-game at https://discord.gg/HpJchvk

Bit messy sound on this one, sorry! At some point, we might be able to invest in better equipment, but it is not this day.

Make your horror stories actually feel scary. We talk about strategies for what to do and what not to do. We might not show you an actual monster, but we'll talk about why that would be a bad idea anyway.

In this episode we discuss how you build upon an existing setting, fangirl over Matthew Mercer, tell you what we hide behind our gm-screens and take note on the importance of coffee. We elaborate a little bit on how you make your world interesting and give you another NPC to get inspired by.

We discuss how to create NPCs. Åsa shares her less than structured method for conjuring up interesting characters and we discuss how we struggle to make our worlds more diverse. We make a few notes on voices and Johan shares a plot with a nice moral dilemma to torture players with.

In this episode Johan rambles on about how to guide your players in the creation of their characters, in what character traits you might want to avoid and how to squeeze in characters in a group. We shower some love over Transhuman Space, find out Åsa cannot pronounce Timothy, and we show our political colours (it’s not orange).

In this episode we try to guide you through the wobbly steps of writing your very first story (spoiler alert: you need a beginning and an end). We discuss how to get the story started and about deciding the style of your game. Åsa talks about a game she plans to run for her non gaming coworkers, and how she's writing that story, and how to adapt a game for completely new players.

Åsa's coworkers, please don't listen between 16:45 and 19:20 (at least not before we play our games).

We also discuss note-taking (or the lack thereof).
