This week, we discuss how to play a pacifist character in a TTRPG. Join us as we discuss degrees of pacifism, some tools you can use to play these characters, and why these characters - more than most - especially need a Session Zero discussion. 

Next week is our 6th anniversary episode, followed in two weeks by Episode 200. We will be having several returning guests join us over those two episodes to play a couple of one-shot TTRPG sessions. Our anniversary episode will be a game of Raccoon Sky Pirates, and our Episode 200 game with be Pirate Borg.

This week, we're discussing game design, with a specific focus on exploration rules. Join us as we discuss Ian's game-in-progress (unnamed during the episode, but the working title is Postapocalyptia) and different ways to implement exploration rules as we try to find that fine line that is neither tedious nor boring.

This week, we're starting a new series where we discuss different genres and how to implement them in your games. We're starting off with a favorite of ours - urban fantasy. Join us as we define the genre, give some examples, and realize that sometimes James's great ideas end up just being Shadowrun.
