Saving Throes # 81 - Behind the Screen: Immersion Tools and Tactics
Manage episode 451263621 series 3474518
Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
I have been thinking about doing this episode for the past couple of months and finally decided to jump into it for this week's episode. I talk about the methods I have used and the tools that have helped me to create a sense of immersion in my game that I believe really elevates the game and makes it a standout experience compared to other games. Part of the reason we love roleplaying games is getting into the role of someone in a completely different world or environment than our own. There are so many ways that you can make that illusion stand tall and as well, so many ways that it can go sideways and turn into a session where you are all just staring at each other around the table and rolling dice thinking "what am I doing here?". Tune in to hear my experience and suggestions for creating immersion, and what traps to avoid immersion busters.
