Chris and Mat chat about how to run one on one TTRPG sessions. We go over the pros and cons of this format and strategies to integrate them into your group game. We also give ways to elevate these games beyond your players expectations. Some of the elements we talk about are easy to implement but others are more involved. These strategies include:
1) Tailoring the experience to the person you are running the game for!
2) Use the intimacy of the session to do exposition the character would already know, but that the player doesn't!
3) Reveal a big plot point, a hidden secret or something special about a NPC to the character you are playing with.
4) Give the character challenges in skills they excel at, give them a chance to shine beyond what they can do in a group setting.
Our community question this week is: If you were given the choice, would you prefer to play a campaign one on one with a game master you get along well with or would you prefer playing in a group that has great team synergy? Let us know your preference and tell us why!
Role Play Chat is a YouTube channel where your hosts Chris and Mat sit down and chat about Tabletop Role-Playing Games (such as Dungeons and Dragons, Fates, Warhammer or Call of Cthulhu) and other RPG related topics.
Enjoy! Chris and Mat
