On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
To celebrate March Madness and our very good understanding of sports ball, we are talking about sports IN games. Namely, how could we create competitions in a role-playing game. And what D&D classes would be best suited for our fantasy Olympics.
Sometimes, even a straight-forward board game can have mechanics that derail the action and discourage new players. Nathan discusses a few he encountered when playing Catan, Carcassone and Ticket to Ride. We also discuss some D&D mechanics we hand-waved away in the past.
A new Reddit question came across Nathan's feed with a typical problem in RPG groups. What happens when you have a player leave and their character is still around? Should the GM take on the PC role? We have some personal experience with this, so let's discuss it in more detail.
