David and Austin sit down to discuss some of the issues Game Masters often encounter. They use the Ryoko Owari: City of Lies game as the reference point to provide advice, raise questions, and examine roll playing games from the perspective of the person behind the screen.

Some of the topics include:

PC Death

Player/Character investment 

Divergence between GM and player vision

Running a game from a module

Running a different system from a module

Pacing a mystery and/or sandbox

The finale of the Sword the Crown and the Unspeakable Power sees all of our characters come together for the first time and truly deal with their desires for peace, power, and a place in history. Shit hits the fan!

We actually get into the game for real this time folks.

An uneasy truce grips the last city. Once the heart of a human empire, now conquered by Dwarves, the city is a powder keg. A veteran who wants peace, a religious leader that worships the dwarves, a Dwarven official that sees himself as being charitable to the Humans, and a militia leader seeking to refight the war of his parents’ generation. Can peace remain?
