Swede Rolls

We're kicking off April with an episode focused heavily on giving you, the GM, some advice on how to organize and run your adventures. With Martin and Daniel as our guests, we talk about the importance of keeping an open mind when designing NPCs and Adventure-threads, peppered with memories of sessions past.

Can you leave it all up to fate, or should you be thorough in your planning? How do you sort your notes? How can you keep the illusion that you know what you're doing all the while making things up in the back of your head?

These, and many more questions, we hope to answer in this week's Swede Rolls.

This month’s last episode has Martin and Andreas returning to guest our show as we talk in length about the process of character creation.

We discuss the pros, and cons, of building a strong team of characters and debate the aid, or hindrance, stat-based personalities can be.

Comparisons are drawn between LARPing and Tabletop Gaming, and finally we touch upon what some players are okay with, and what others might not.

For this episode, Andreas and Louise guest as we talk about winning, or losing, in RPGs.

Can you really get something out of a spectacular failure, and is winning always a good feeling? Can RPGs be cooperative, or do they need a clear obstacle? And whose job is it to fill that role?

We discuss good and bad GMing and reveal a few bad memories from GMs who might not always have their players’ best interest in mind.

Louise guests in our second episode where we discuss the sometimes taboo subject of sexuality, gender and identity in RPGs.

We briefly touch upon gender stereotypes, clichés and how a group can be inclusive to new and/or different players.

We debate how to handle sex-scenes, why some players might shun the idea of playing the opposite sex and other embrace it, and whether it should really be a big deal if your character is a sex worker.

And to top it off we also touch briefly on disability in games and playing a character with a disability.

Do dice and stats matter in an RPG? What's the point of all these numbers if you're not going to use them? And why have this easily misplaced sheet of paper if it's worthless?

Join us as we discuss these conundrums!
