Episode Synopsis

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.I was inspired to do this episode after my spotlight on Phandelver and Below last week. It is actually a topic that I have wanted to address for some time as it is something that comes up quite often in Roleplaying game discourse - the use of safety tools in your game. I go over the most common used ones and detail some of the lesser used and more in depth tools that are out there. I give my take on these tools and also how it feeds into the perception out there that the DM/GM must serve the players. It is a complicated subject for sure, and many people feel very strongly about it, but we are all fans of this hobby at the end of the day, so we can at least agree on that! Tune in this week to hear my thoughts on safety tools and how I approach it at my table.If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at [email protected] - I would love to hear from you!
