We have a fantastic episode of The Gauntlet Podcast for you this week. Kate Bullock and I are joined by Marissa Kelly of Magpie Games for an episode we’re calling “GMing 201.” We deal with some advanced GM topics, such as Trusting the Story, Finding the Scene, Killing Your Darlings, Reading the Table, and more!
Thanks to Paul Edson for this week’s edit.
Enjoy!

Great episode! I do like my cinematic action shots haha. My favourite was when I was describing a really cheesy action shot and Jason was like, “is this movie directed by Michael Bay?” A: yes, haha.

This was fantastic. Is there another episode where Jason Cordova unpacks the CATS procedure?
