Gaming Perspectives With Saul and Jolene Episode 85: Do Skills Kill RP

      In this episode Saul and Jolene talk about skill in rpg and whether they diminish RP.  Saul uses the "Sense Motive" skill or similar one as an example of how a skill might kill roleplaying.  In the example the GM playing an merchant  NPC tells the player something.  The player then rolls a Sense Motive skill, is successful and tells the GM that he knows if the merchant is lying.  By passing any roleplaying.        Saul and Jolene discuss games that have skills and those that don't.  New games and old all in trying to figure out if Skills in RPGs really kill roleplay possibilities.     As always thanks for listening and all we ask is that you share our podcast on your social media to spread word of our podcast.      Music by Cheri C. Russell, song You Played Yourself.     Available at Tribeofnoise.com
