RPG Psych
A podcast exploring the intersection of metacognition and tabletop gaming. Join educator Lucas Hutson and clinical therapist Josh Pate-Terry as they discuss tabletop role-playing games and bring some of their professional experience to help make our games better. Let's think about how we think at our game table.
A4 Verisimilitude
Josh and Lucas tackle Verisimilitude. Should our games just be abstractions? How much truth is too much truth in the fantastic? Isn't that what mechanics are for? Josh and Lucas talk about the difference between feeling real and being realistic and more.
A3 Radical Acceptance
Josh and Lucas dive into accepting the world as it is and not how we wish it to be, even if it is a fantasy world. How do we equip ourselves as players and GMs to "roll" with it when things don't go our way?
A2 Safety Tools
What are safety tools for around the gaming table? How do we make sure that everyone feels safe with our stories and safe to share? Josh and Lucas dive into this topic, sharing tools and anecdotes, and since they play together Josh checks in on Lucas' safety at the table.
A1 Session Zero
In this first episode of RPG Psych Josh and Lucas talk about what Session Zero is, what makes a good one and, why do we as players and GM's need it.
