Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode Forty Six: Metagaming in RPGs

This week Saul and Jolene talk about the four letter word in some RPG circles, Metagaming. In this episode both Saul and Jolene give their definition of what metagaming is. Is metagaming terrible? It is just bad? Or is it a legitimate way of playing rpgs? Saul and Jolene tackle this topic though it is a very subjective one. Give it a listen and see what is too much metagaming for Saul and what he tries to do to mitigate what he thinks is too much metagaming at his game table.
