In this episode of Role of the Dice, we talk to Becky Alexander general manager of the Game Shoppe in Bellevue, Nebraska. Some topics discussed include; what is it like to work in a game store, how to form a relationship with your local gaming store, why Becky is not a roleplayer herself, and if you can't get to Gen Con this year there is an alternative!

What is your GM Style? Are you an "Unprepared GM", a "By the Book GM", a "Villain GM", or a mixture? We’ve come up with a list of several types of Gamemasters we've come across. Joining us this episode to help us go through the pros and cons of each is GM Will Hewett.

In this episode we talked with Daniel Krämer about his unique introduction into roleplaying, what German RPGs he's played, his transition into running games in English, and much much more!

Lee and guest Will quickly review the roleplaying system Open Legend and why you should give it a try!

Open Legend is a streamlined system designed to let you tell big stories using small rules. The rules get complex when they need to, but never cumbersome, and wherever they could be cut out or simplified, they have been.

What target number should I set for the players? Will I kill them if it's too high? Will the players get bored if it's too low? In this episode, Dan and Lee will answer these questions and much, much more on how to set the difficulty for your encounters!
