Playbooks and Communication with Moe Poplar

Dice Exploder

About this episode

Transcript

What's the deal with Playbooks? That's a question that's way too big for one episode. But Moe Poplar, of the RPG Academy podcast Show & Tell, had a very particular effect of playbooks that he wanted to talk about on the show today: how playbook choice can be a line of communication between players, GM, and designer.

This is one of those episodes that's as much play advice as it is about design. I should do more of those.
