We started a session of the F&D Beginner game on our podcast.

By Rogue Dakotan, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

You may or may not be familiar with The Jodo Cast, but we cover all Star Wars games from X-Wing to Battlefront and everything in between.

In our latest episode we've started playing through a session of the Beginner Game.

EPISODE HERE


It was very late when this was recorded so I'm not sure how lucid we all are lol.

We want to make doing one of the SWRPGs on the show a regular thing, possibly doing a session a month.

I would love any feedback you have on how this episode could have been better, what you like in a RPG session podcast, etc. This was our first time and like I said it was past our bedtimes so I don't expect it to be perfect.

Thanks for checking this out.

Excellent guys, cheers. I enjoy live play podcasts, we can always learn something new.

My minor quibbles are probably down to you being tired, but if I had to suggest anything it would be play to the narrative dice a little more. Get the players to describe their action, then narrate the outcome. Instead of "I have 2 advantage, can I pass a blue dice", describe what the advantage is and how that's helping someone else. There are times it won't make sense to simply pass a boost, and that's fine.

Ps - we're all guilty of the mechanics shortcut from time to time, but the narrative interpretation of the five is a good habit to try and get into. It's what sets the system apart.

Like I say, minor quibbles, I did enjoy the listen. Keep it up chaps! :)
