Player Agency

Threat Dice

Show Notes

On this episode of Threat Dice, Kylen is all about 'player agency' -- making sure that the players around the table have real impact on the stories you tell with your tabletop RPG system of choice! A system-agnostic discussion.

It's about choices and consequences, and how to help guide a group of players with just the right touch to make sure they don't get 'railroaded', but also taking care not to drown them in the 'sandbox'!
