Roleplay as Exploration of Experience



One of the best aspects of roleplaying is that we can experience, in some small way, things that may be outside of our grasp. Usually, that means fantasy or sci-fi stories, like battling dragons, delving into ancient crypts, or fighting mega-corporations with our cyber-enhanced bodies. For some, though, roleplay can be an excellent tool to explore ourselves and our psyches as well. Perhaps there is a traumatic experience you wish to confront in the safety of a roleplaying game where no harm can come to you. Perhaps you are questioning if you are LGBTQ+ and feel safe exploring that question among friends with a fictional character, to see how that experience feels. This week, Sara and Rob discuss the concept of using roleplaying as a way to explore the human experience in a relatively safe environment.

Roleplaying 101: How to step away from yourself and “get into character”



When we sit down at the table we see a sheet with numbers, details, and items. But all too often we come up blank when trying to fill in the personality and tone of who they really are. How does one become their character? Is it just you in a different world or setting, a persona you wish you could be, or something fake and ingenuine that could be mistaken as insulting? This week’s episode Rob and guest co-host Kathrine Moore, explore the fun, challenge and complexities we often miss when getting into character.
