Epiosde 338: Player Engagement, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

When you are playing in a RPG, whether it is online or an in person game, keeping the player engaged in the game can be at times hard. Saul and Jolene over the years have noticed that some people find it hard to pay attention to the game during a session. Things that make people tune out of the game are many, from cell phones, side conversation, kids, significant other, boredom, the list goes on. As a GM what can you do to keep the player engaged at the game table. How much can a GM do? What about the Player? They are the ones that tune out of the game carry the majority of the burden to keeping up with what is going on at the game table. Jolene and Saul discussed what they have seen other GM do and reasons why and what players can do to keep their attention to the table. Saul and Jolene decided to record an episode on Player Engagement. Thank you for listening! Website Art by Jim Foster Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones
