Episode 261: Metacurrency Kills Roleplaying, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

    Saul was looking at FB posts and he read a post concerning the topic of metacurrency in RPGs games.  The Original Poster had a rather negative view of metacurrency.  One that too many new RPGs were using this "gimmick".  Another complaint was that it drew him out of the immersion of the roleplaying session with the use of metacurrency which there was little or no explanation about the metacurrency in the actual play.   Another problem was that it seems lazy roleplaying game design.      This post got quite a few responses and Saul asked Jolene about her thoughts on the subject.  After that discussion a decision was made to make it an episode topic.     Hopefully all of you in the states had a great Thanksgiving.      Also we would love to hear from you and you can reach Saul and Jolene at:  [email protected]    Contact us for anything you want to let us know,  topics we should do an episode on, what you like and don't like about our podcast.    As Always thanks for listening.   Web Art by Jim Foster   Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones       Music by Music Matter, song If You Got Money.    Available from Tribeofnoise.com    Used under the Creative Commons License 4.0     https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
