The Race to the Bottom in RPGs | Black Lodge Games Podcast

Today we talk about hostility to actual roleplay at the table. Getting into character is one of the easiest ways to enhance immersion at the table and aversion to it is largely rooted in a fear of embarrassment for bringing a little sincerity to the game. Cynicism and the hatred of sincerity is a plague on mankind and poisons everything. If you want a better experience at the table, go beyond doing the bare minimum. This doesn't mean you are "method acting" and doesn't require "doing voices", it just requires that you actually get engaged and play a little bit of make believe in the Elf Game. Children instantly know how to do this, so why don't you? #dndpodcast #dnd #osr #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #roleplayinggames
