Tabletop roleplaying games may be an even smaller niche than board games, but they do have an extraordinarily creative and passionate fan base. Some of those players might hear about the rise of board games and be tempted to see what they have to offer. But board games represent a much more constrained world than they might be used to, and there are other obstacles that could deter them as well. What's the best way to introduce a roleplayer to the world of board games?

Guru Voodoo: Roleplayers

The world of tabletop games is a lot bigger than most people realize. In fact it's so big that the idea of investigating it can actually be kind of intimidating. When you see all those games you've never heard of, with rules and concepts and themes you've never seen before in a game, it's hard to know where to start.
The answer is: start with the SnakesCast. Every week, we'll bring you ten or fifteen minutes' worth of banter about what makes these games worth playing. With a different theme every episode and a rotating cast of both gurus and non-gurus from Toronto's premiere boardgame café, we'll show you just how much there is to play with out there.
