I'm back from several trips away, the last being to Switzerland, where I shot a fair few videos. All going well, this will mean an increase in my video output soon. Anyway, this one's about role-play gaming, which is one of my interests. The video describes a new game which has an innovative approach, which gets players away from the usual fights and treasure hunts, and towards drama, exploring the relationships between characters.

The coming revolution in role-play games?

Free trial with Audible: http://www.audible.com/lindybeige Role play games have to grow up. This may be the way to go.

Perhaps the game should concentrate on the relationships between the characters rather than the group's success at slaughter and theft.
