All good things come to an end. Monsters, heroes, and sometimes whole campaigns die before their time. This week on PTR we're talking about the death of games and characters. Like grave robbers we're cracking open the caskets of dead games to figure out why games die early, and what can be done to avoid such a hideous fate! Even this week's challenge is death themed. We've got to come up with an in game location that has been touched by the energies of death! It's a grim start to the new year!

Dungeons & Dragons, Vampire the masquerade, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and a hundred more besides. Whatever roleplaying universe you like to play or run games in, the desire is always there to become a better player or run a better game. Welcome to Playing The Roll. A show dedicated to exploring the art of roleplaying in hopes of building better players and better games. Join Nathan Stone, a long time Game Master, and his friends Dary Robinson, and Dylan Campbell who also happen to be long time Game masters as they talk about everything that goes into making great games, the things you should never do, and how to take your gaming experience to the next level. Each episode ends with a challenge, a call out to us, and to you, to work our roleplaying muscles by designing a character, NPC or location  within a certain theme, and of course we share the results on the show. We hope you’ll join our quest to become better players and run better games, here on Playing The Roll.
