Dan Collins and Paul Siegel have once again asked me to appear on their Wandering DMs channel this afternoon at 1pm EDT. This time, I'll be talking about the ups and downs of refereeing a RPG campaign for the last seven years. Though obviously some of what I have to say will be specific to my ongoing House of Worms campaign, much of it – most of it, I hope – will have more general applicability to any long-running RPG campaign.
Great job James! Thanks for sharing the feed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence. I was listening to a couple of older Wandering DM videos this morning while cleaning house.
ReplyDeleteHonestly uncomfortable about the fact that none of you brought up the big racist elephant in the room. Probably anyone listening to that channel already knows about Barker and Serpent's Walk, but it's not an assumption I'd care to make. Even unintentionally tempting some unknowing new blood into trying EPT only for them to find out the facts of its creator's beliefs later is repeating the mistakes of the Foundation all over again.
ReplyDeleteHonestly? I can't see that elephant. And frankly, the horse is dead. I bet the guy who invented Monopoly was a bastard. I'm still gonna play the game. You sound like a member of the thought police Orwell warned us about.
DeleteOut of curiosity, Monopoly was originally conceived as an ironic game to actually criticize monopolies. The randomness and lack of reliance on player skill were intentional features. Not so bastard after all, eh?
DeleteDid you actually think I meant to impugn the character of the founder of Monopoly?
DeleteI'm sure James wants to spend the rest of his life wringing his hands and putting up disclaimers whenever he speaks of his campaign, all to make some internet rando comfortable.
ReplyDeleteAnother fine Wandering DMs episode. Love listening to these guys on those weekends where I have to clean the house.
