Teamwork makes the dream work, as they say. Being part of a kickass adventuring band can take some effort. Your teammates might be friends in the RL, but maybe not in the game. Characters don’t HAVE to be friends, but they do have to work together...at least enough to keep the story going.

Most RPGs have some sort of magic system. If they don’t it’s probably because it’s a sci-fi or real-world RPG, but it still probably has special powers of some sort. This episode is all about the concept of magic in games, different kinds of magic systems, and coming up with your own.
