Episode #12 Dealing with Players Issues Part 2

Find all our links below: https://linktr.ee/nerdandsonpod Here we discuss all the different types of players you can deal with when running a game. Some are obvious while others are not. We also discuss a few personal encounters. This discussion also took quite a bit longer than expected and we had to split this into two parts. 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.
