    Episode 34: More about the game! - Part 3 of 5 - Vampires and LARPing

    Episode 34: More about the game! - Part 3 of 5 - Vampires and LARPing

    How often can you expect to have games available as a player? How much time does Jessica put in to administering the history, logs, characters, GMing and everything? GMs are responsible for more than just showing up each week and running a module. Vampire GMs might be more hands-on with the actual player’s characters than a D&Der is used to. The more the GM knows about the people and characters, the better the story.

    (transcript by Descript)

    Steve(n): On today's game mastery. We talked to Jessica and experienced vampire the masquerade GM, and we've broken the episode into chunks to see how you like the format. Versus one long episode, we had an audio issue in the first 10 minutes of part one. It affected both our main and backup recordings, but the content was important.

    So we left it in. And welcome to year two of gay mastery. Thank you for listening. And don't forget to rate, review and share. It's how we grow to create better content for you.
