Saving Throes # 99 - Behind the Screen: Politics in your Game

Red Rooster

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.

This week I decided to discuss something that is always a source of conflict and gets people riled up - politics! This is a very effective element to a TTRPG game when wielded appropriately. This will look different for every game group and even many games. This episode is focussed on D&D style fantasy however. Adding a layer of politics to your game world can work wonders to spice things up and get the player extra invested. In this episode I talk about ways you can challenge yourself as a DM and questions you should try to answer to really flesh out the politics in your campaign world. Tune in to hear what kind of questions you should be asking yourself.
