Episode 11 - Back in My Day...

Greetings, Citizens.

Sorry for the short delay. Real life interfered once again, as it always tries to do, and the Xiticix were fairly insistent this time with their incursions.



However, I am pleased to present the first in a two-part episode of the Coalition Deadboys Podcast! In this part, our topic revolves around the age of players. Playing with a fairly young group? Awesome. Playing with a group of ... more experienced players? A good mix? Welcome. Matt and Nate share their experience GMing with a wide variety of people and groups.

Enjoy, and carry on, citizens.

  1. I started running a D&D game with my 16 year old son and two of his friends. I tried to keep it more story focused but as I think back, they really seemed to particularly enjoy the limited combat we did. I think you brought up some good points in this podcast, and for my next games I'll start trying to make sure there's more opportunities for combat for them.

  2. And as their maturity level increases, the level of roleplaying will probably increase, as well. I think at age 14 or so, it's all about seducing barmaids and hack-and-slash fights. But it sounds like you've got a good mix of roleplaying and combat ready for them. What edition of D&D are you running?

  4. 3.5, since I have the core books available. I debated for a while with starting them off with second edition D&D, or even with Palladium Fantasy instead but one of them was really focused specifically on playing "D&D," and had been watching youtube videos of it and everything. So I figured we'd at least start with the more modern D&D (despite being two editions old now) and then eventually see where it takes us.
