Episode 299: Stealing the Spotlight, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

Episode 299: Stealing the Spotlight, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

There have been times that a certain player at your table took charge of the table or maybe was the leader at the table. Heck back in the ole Days, there was a player who was, "the Caller". It was their job to talk to the GM and tell the GM what the players were doing. It was a way to speed up game play. Saul once played in a game where they took this idea to heart and only The Caller would talk to the GM. The Caller could even countermand what the player had told the Caller what they wanted to do. Needless to say Saul never went back to the game club. Games these days have become more collaborative, there is more player agency. There is also the idea of making sure all players get in on the fun. Making sure all players have input in the game at your table. This has been called sharing the Spotlight. Where every player and their character gets a chance to shine. But what if a player is taking more than their share of the Spotlight. Saul and Jolene discussed why this happens and what can be done about it after reading a reddit post by a new GM having this problem. After a lengthy discussion, Saul and Jolene decided to do an episode on Stealing the Spotlight.
