PTG 228 — PAY ATTENTION!
Show us how you’re managing attention in online gaming! Whether it’s your attention or your players’, there’s no doubt that it’s trickier to manage in online gaming than at the table. Phil and Senda talk about discerning whether there’s an actual problem and some quick suggestions you can implement as a GM to hold attention better.

PTG Chit Chat 12
Welcome back to a chit chat episode! When the world goes a little to wild, we settle down with a stick of bamboo and just chat! We’ll be back to our normal scheduled programming…well, hopefully next week, but we’ll see depending on world and life events. On today’s episode, we talk about what’s giving us life in gaming, and life in general.

PTG 225 – Let’s Get Physical
Show us how you organize your physical books! Since we’d talked about organizing your digital collection (and some folks have recently moved), we got a question about what to think about when organizing your physical collection, and that’s something you may not want to hear us talk about for 45 minutes….and yet, here we are, because we can!

PTG224 – Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Show us how you break up with a player. Phil and Senda talk through the difficult process of splitting a player off of a group — construct your own mix and match for limiting break up experience drama (hopefully). But then again, hopefully this is advice you don’t need!
