The Fourth Leg - A Tabletop Gaming Podcast

We got ENGAGED...to our players :) - A Discussion on Player Engagement and Managing the Spotlight


Listen Later

A QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT: In this episode, Hunter recommends a game called Dungeon World. At the time of recording he was not aware who the writers for that game were, even though he was aware of their recent transgressions. The Fourth Leg and its hosts want to make it clear that we fully support the agency and autonomy of our players, and fully reject that writer's actions. The segment will stay in the show as both a reminder for anyone interested in DW, and to give you the opportunity to experience the game for yourself should you choose to. Thank you all for listening, and we hope you find enjoyment and safety in any game you play.


In this episode Joe, Kelci, and Hunter are joined by Ian, the storyteller for Shrimp & Crits! They come together to discuss how to keep players engaged at the table during sessions, how world building can engage players, and where to find cute videos of sloths. Ian also gives some amazing insight into Monster of the Week and how many of the lesson taught there can translate seamlessly into Dungeons and Dragons!
