Have you ever sat down and thought about your reasons about why you roleplay? Why did you start playing roleplaying games like D&D, Pathfinder or Cthulhu to begin with? In my experience there are 4 primary reasons why we roleplay and it is when we begin to understand these reasons and use them to our advantage as the game master or dungeon master, that we will be in a much better position to run more fun and more fulfilling RPGs.

This series of videos focuses on Dungeons and Dragons as the basic example but is designed to work for all TTRPG systems. So bring your dice and let's roll!
