Episode #7 Planning a EncounterHow do you plan an encounter? How do you make sure it will keep your players wanting more. Here we discuss how we design and run encounters.
Who are we?
We are just a couple of nerds who enjoy the game. Ralph, who has been running games, and Conner, who has watched his father run the games and who has ventured out into the world to run some of his own. Together we talk about our passion for role playing and some of our adventures along the way.
Please enjoy this journey with us.
