Why Tone Matters

b'Most TTRPG\\u2019s come with a setting and framework like fantasy, sci fi or pulp. But tend to be lighter on how the game should feel when it comes to the players and their interactions to that world. Those are often an unwritten contract between players and the storyteller, all too often undecided till well into the game. This can be confusing and upsetting if people don\\u2019t mix on how the game should go. We use terms like \\u201cMurder hobo\\u2019s\\u201d and \\u201cmagical friendships\\u201d as ways to describe the feel of the party and its interaction with the world. Tonight, Rob and Sara shift away from the systems, mechanics, and storytelling elements and get to the heart of the story experience as they discuss the Feel in RPGs.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nListen to us live, every Wednesday night at 7pm EST, at http://www.mixlr.com/storyteller-conclave.\\n\\nFind us on Twitter (@st_conclave) \\u2013 Instagram (st_conclave)\\nSupport the show by joining our Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/StorytellerConclave\\n\\nPlease join us on Discord, to submit questions for the show, chat with Rob, Sara, and other Storytellers, and read over the detailed show-notes for more information and links to stuff we may not have been able to detail during the show!
