Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode 122: Railroads and Player Agency

In this episode Saul and Jolene talk about Railroads and Player Agency. It would seem the two are diametrically opposed but Railroads don't have to be the GM's draconian story where the players are there just to enjoy the ride and roll some dice.

One way for a Railroad type of game to lose sight of the tracks is to have player agency. Where players actions and ideas impact the story. It makes for a more difficult game for the GM to run but the payoff is a more fun for all players of the game.

As always Thanks for listening and please share our podcast.

Music by Railbird, song Born on the Railroad, album Railbird.
