Modified Rolls - Mining Media for Your RPGs

from DMs After Dark · host DMsAfterDark

I don't know about all of you out there in RPG podcast-land, but I'm a pretty typical millennial, binging TV series on streaming platforms and dealing with piles of books to-be-read that somehow just keep growing despite my best efforts. Well, what if I told you literally everything you ingest makes great building blocks for your RPGs?! Your in luck, because all you gotta do is a little bit of work and all your favorite things you wanna talk to your friends about but they haven't seen or read is gold for your games! Take Home Points: Re-skin & re-flavor - don't copy your favorite characters, locations, or villains without changing them to be appropriate for your game; practice capturing the feel of your favorite media with words, since you likely won't have visuals that portray that like on screen; imitate accents! Please rate us on your podcast app of choice and catch our live streams alternating Friday nights over on Twitch or catch up on our games over on our YouTube.
