    Rose Playing Games Episode 7 – Goals

    We agreed ahead of time that the topic was going to be “goals in roleplaying games”, then went off to read different books that approached the subject along very different lines. So, you get the Blue Rose angle and the Red Rose angle: two for the price of one! Great value.

    With bittersweet tastes upon our tongues we must announce that this will be the final episode of Rose Playing Games: we’ve had fun making them, but future schedules preclude continuing the series. Thank you all for watching, and watch for the next new project coming down the pipeline.

    You can also watch the full series here!

  • Rose Playing Games Episode 6 – Experience

    Rose Playing Games Episode 6 – Experience

    There are quite a few puns I could make to introduce this topic, so I’ll save us both some time and let you imagine your favorite one.

    There, feeling better? Now you’re ready to watch the sixth installment of the only online show with two Roses. This week they’re analyzing tabletop representations of gaining experience and how that impacts the experience of play – sorry, that’s a second pun, but just a small one.

    Also as usual, this episode is available in audio format through Spotify.

  • Rose Playing Games Episode 5 – Comedy

    Rose Playing Games Episode 5 – Comedy

    Comedy: not a standard topic of TTRPG discussions, but a highly pertinent one all the same: if you haven’t laughed at your table, then you need to find a new group. In this episode we talk about what makes games funny, and how they could be even funnier.

    Rose Playing Games Episode 4 – Crafting

    If you

    can

    believe it, it’s an episode of Rose Playing Games once again!

    Watch it here!

    Today we’re talking about crafting systems in RPGs: gathering materials, assembling items, fixing damage, and learning recipes. It’s one of those things that games have been trying to implement for a long time but rarely manage to hit the mark on, but we think it’s possible.

    Also, as mentioned in the episode, I have a Discord server, and if you’re reading this you’re welcome to join! For as long as it continues, which may not be much longer with how Discord is going. The invite link is here.

  • Rose Playing Games Episode 3 – Mental Health

    Rose Playing Games Episode 3 – Mental Health

    Welcome back to Rose Playing Games, the Rose-only (count: 2) tabletop RPG show!

    This episode we’re talking about the history of mechanics like Call of Cthulhu sanity and other (often highly flawed) attempts at systematizing personality, emotions, and trauma into games. As a professional counselor, Red Rose provides insight into modern psychological standards and how future games can better approach the subject.

    Rose Playing Games Episode 2 – Economies

    Hello, and welcome to episode two of the only tabletop roleplaying game video podcast featuring two simultaneous Roses! This time our topic is economies in RPGs: gold pieces, wealth scores, shopping, and every other angle we could think of. Like most of what we cover, it’s a big topic, but one worth considering. Also, with snazzier thumbnail pictures! I’m having fun learning video editing and getting a little bit out of my comfort zone when posing for photographs.

    The video can be found on Youtube. It’s also available in audio form on Spotify.
