The Black Notebook Podcast

#DMTips #GMtips #Gaming

On today's podcast, I decided to talk about passing that note, from a DM to players, players to the DM and even between players! Its something I don't normally see anymore and I think it adds a level of drama to the gaming table.

In today's podcast, I go over a lunch time adventure with co-workers. I ran Batman the roleplaying game at lunch during work for a long while, it was a lot of fun, but this was one adventure that stood out, as we first started gaming as a group.

On today's podcast, I decided to talk about the Dragonlance comics books from DC Comics that came out in 1988, that ran for a few years. It could be an interesting campaign to write up and play in your D&D game!

Today on the podcast, I open up the Postal Pouch aka the email bag and answer some emails that had been sitting there. If you want an email read on the air, just send it on in and I'll answer it on a show. [email protected] is my email address!

#Gumshoe #RPG

Today on the podcast I decided to talk about the Gumshoe system and Trail of Cthulhu. It appears to be a rather simple system that focuses heavily on investigations and horror. The system is a simple d6 with modifiers to beat a target number. The system I would say is a very lite roleplaying, but can be as complex as you need it to be when playing.

Engaging players in a tabletop RPG can be a rewarding challenge for any Game Master. How do you ensure that players are fully invested in the game? How do you guide them into certain habits that enhance the experience for everyone? Moreover, how can players reciprocate and support the GM? I will try to answer these questions and explore strategies for creating an immersive and collaborative RPG experience. Today's topic is from an email from listener names Stephanie.

Was looking around for a topic today and the idea of a Vampire hunter game came to mind, and how it would work, what system would I use, and how long could that game last?
