Episode 317: When Players Do Weird Things, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

     In the long time that Saul has been playing RPGs, there has been some instances where players did some weird things.  At least unexpected things that he saw as both a GM and a Player.  Saul remembers a couple instances where players acting strange may have caused problems in the session.   Jolene relates a story she read online about a player who indeed acted strange for no logical reason that Saul and Jolene did not understand.         What causes players to act in a strange way?  Saul proposes some ideas as to what would make a player to do strange things in a roleplaying game.  From stealing for other character to trying to fight other player's character in a session.  Sometimes players demand that other players act or play in a certain way.   As a GM it is very important to understand why players are acting in a way that could cause problems in a gaming group.          Thank you all for Listening      Web Art by Jim Foster      Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones     Music by Kramer Guy, song Strange Surf     Available from Tribeofnoise.com    Used Under the Creative Commons License 3.0    https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
