Workshops with Marc Majcher

Transcripts available at diceexploder.comThere's this period of time between when we've all agreed we're going to play a game now and when we start "actually playing." We've got to learn the rules, learn the setting, maybe go over safety or characters. Maybe we order the pizza in here, too.This part of a game is just as much something that can be intentionally designed as gameplay itself, but I don't see much of that in ttrpgs. Meanwhile in larp, workshops to set up a game are standard practice. What do they look like, and what can we learn from them?Ad LinksExtra Ordinary launches on Kickstarter March 10th!Further ReadingThe Art of Gathering by Priya ParkerBleed on the Nordic Larp wikiPlaying to Lift, Not Just to Lose by Susanne VejdemoThe Battle of Primrose Park: Playing for Emancipatory Bleed in Fortune & Felicity by Jonaya KemperSpace Train Space Heist by Sam DunnewoldVeins of Corruption, Marc's itchfunding mega-zungeonSocialsMarc on Bluesky and itch and actual plays on youtubeSam on Bluesky and itchThe Dice Exploder blog is at diceexploder.comOur logo was designed by sporgory, our ad music is Lilypads by Travis Tessmer, and our theme song is Sunset Bridge by Purely Grey.This episode was edited by Chris Greenbriar.Join the Dice Exploder Discord to talk about the showSupport ⁠Dice Exploder on Patreon⁠!
