Welcome to the very first episode of our semi-regular Beyond Cataclysm podcast – ‘What is Roleplay?’
This episode we are joined by author CM Lowry to discuss:
A very loose definition of ‘role play’ and how we’ve all done it in real life
Some basic terms you’ll need to know like
RPG (Role Play Game),
GM (Games Master), and
PC (Player Character)
The various dice you might come across (featuring too many dice rolling sounds!)
The mechanics of
Stats
We even do a little bit of live "actual play" role play, which we think makes for pretty fun listening.
