On Accommodating Imagination with Che Webster of Roleplay Rescue
In this conversation with Roleplay Rescue's host and seeker of immersive and engaging play, Che Webster, we discuss some blog posts about techniques that Che is trying out to get more of what he wants out of play. As that quest is near and dear to my heart, I thought others might resonate with it as well. We talk about making room for imagination, facilitating a more active stance in our imaginations, and consider how we speak to one another when we play.

On Preparation for In-character play with Tablerunner Crispy
Preparation is one thing that can benefit from change if you adjust your style or intentions for play. My guest has recently discovered a desire for playing more and more in-character (moving toward in-character as-character) and leaving room for immersion to happen.
WATCH ON YOUTUBE:
https://youtu.be/-01dPAKsvM4
MY GUEST: CRISPY of the @Tablerunner YouTube channel.
Origin: "I'm an RPG enthusiast who came to realize earlier this year that I've only just scratched the surface of what the hobby can be. Now I'm focused on enhancing my experience and that of my players through 'in-character play.' I run an in-person weekly game that has been a going concern for 17 years and hopefully many years to come. I share my experiences as an old hand with a fresh appreciation for actual roleplay on my YouTube channel @tablerunner. You can find me on X at @cfourcrispy."
Call-ins:
I have received some great calls since the last episode and I would love to include them in this episode as they are relevant to various points made throughout, but I due to the length of the conversation (1hr4min) I feel it is best to frame an episode around those call-ins and any others that come in the interim. That episode will concern itself more directly with imagination. Therefore, there is still time to leave a message via Spotify (if you dare), Speakpipe, discord, or email about how imagination presents itself to you. How do you imagine a moment of play?

Customer Reviews
Episode 3.10And 3.10A
It’s podcasts like these, as well as the great actual plays that teach and entertain, that reaffirm why I follow you.
Explaining how you use of music is more than ambiance but how it can show the players they’re no longer of this world. And how it shapes how you direct the movie of the mind that your campaign became.
Well done, Sir, and Thank You.
P.s. that Operation Mindcrime campaign should be published
Thought Provoking
Like all his content, this podcast will make you think about the games you love. He thinks a lot about the tabletop gaming hobby and it shows. Insight, advice, and qualified opinions make this a must-listen pod.
