Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
Inspired by the recent video from Questing Beast on You Tube and the 6 Cultures of Play blog post on the Retired Adventurer blog, I decided to review this interesting article and throw in my 2 cents. The basic premise is that there are 6 primary cultures of gameplay values in the tabletop roleplaying game community that describe the ways in which the majority of players play their game of choice. This was a very interesting read and I think it really did help me to understand the norms of other styles and also gives good historical context to how they developed over time. I go over each one in this episode and provide my feedback as well as where I think I stand and where I ultimately would like to be. Tune it to hear what one gameplay culture I can't relate to and have a difficult time even understanding what it is!
If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at redroostersgamingcoop@gmail.com - I would love to hear from you!
