Archipelago of Play

If you have ever poked your head into an online RPG forum, or asked for design or GMing advice on social media, you might ask yourself... “Are we even playing the same games?”

The answer is more complex than you might think.

So we asked the Captain of GM Content, Sean Foer, to help us explore the weird archipelago of islands that make up the play cultures surrounding tabletop roleplaying games. 

This 40 page booklet contains discussions of different forms of ttrpg culture and traditions, and advice on everything from if a GM should fudge dice roles to how to branch out to new styles of play.
