This episode we dive into the wonderful world of role playing!

From ordering your first drink, to berating the rogue for getting in trouble again, role playing is the magic sauce that separates role playing games like D&D from other tabletop games.

We discuss the different stages of role playing, the importance of creating a safe place for your players to role play, and our views on why encouraging role playing is important. We also discuss the merits of inspiration and different ways to reward your players for their awesome moments. Lastly, we dip our toes into the murky waters of handling conflict that can arise from role playing. Damn! That pesky rogue snuck off again!
