Episode 288: Where to Start Your Adventure, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

A popular way to start out an adventure or campaign is "in media res". Though most RPG games start off with a common scene of the Tavern or Pub. This in the beginning type of start is what most gamers know. Another way is to put the characters in a stressfull situcation from the beginning. One common way of doing this is the "your all in prison" beginning. Now this beginning can be very displeasing to most players. Especially if the players do not know that this is the way the game is going to start. This may turn off players getting into the game. Saul has been in a number of games where the GM starts the game with character in prison or in bondage. Saul uses a couple of examples of this happening and how the games went. Jolene is much more suspicious of GMs starting their games in this manner. Saul agrees that this requires a lot of trust in the players of their GMs.
