"Better with Bacon" had me on his pod to chat about my methods.

Was interviewed on AoW about my RPG philosophy/goals/tools.

The goal is for the players to feel immersed in theSecondary World as real people. The primary tool is by playing in a simulationist fashion, but how do we accomplish that?

It’s not by being buried in charts and Wiki pages, butprimarily using our most powerful tool: Informed common sense, the power of Intuitive GMing.

 The secondary title is a play on Dr. Iain McGilchrist’s powerful book, ‘The Master & His Emissary’.

Some good overview "conversation" between 2 machines.

"There's no wrong way to play RPGs," is a common retort against all RPG discourse about methods, mechanics, etc.. I decided to briefly shine some light on these confusions, & the fallaciousness of the undergirding dynamics generating such assertions.

I examine the issue of GMs sometimes transcending cause/effect (mechanics or sometimes purely logic) in the game (aka, ‘fudging’). What motivates it? Numerous things, but while I believe their intentions are generally good (“help the players’ enjoyment”), it’s at best a Pyrrhic victory, one which can not only destroy your sessions going forward, but retroactively as well.
