Daydreaming about Dragons
Welcome to Daydreaming about Dragons, in which I'll think out loud about the techniques that help make tabletop role-playing games fun for me and my friends. Thomas Manuel, creator on Yes, Indie'd Podcast, Rascal News, and the Indie RPG Newsletter, said, "It is like 15 minute episodes and in each episode he solves an RPG problem. I mean he literally solves it. Every time I'm like, okay, cool, that is done. I wish more people knew that answer so we could stop arguing about it."
