Safety around a table is important for some people and Brie Beau Sheldon has been working at it, not just for RPGs but also for our own culture for a while. In this interview, I talk to him about his work.Playing roleplaying games can be a tricky experience for some people, but with a bit of thought we can make sure everyone has the same amount of fun and enjoyment and the Script Change is a tool that aims exactly for that.Unlike other tools like the X-Card, which are an “either/or” situation, the Script Change is a tool that allows players and GMs to decide how it’s going to be used during session zero and even during the game. Also, it has some more steps and sub-tools one can use.On one of the most obvious ways to use it is during the session zero, when it can be decided how it’s going to be used and define limits and boundaries so people can use it in a way that won’t break the game for anyone, and also give the right clues when someone is not going according to plan before the damage is done and the gaming experience ruined.Certainly worth a look!Hope you enjoy the show!Visit other G*M*S Magazine productions:For our podcast: https://goo.gl/M54zauFollow us on Twitter: https://goo.gl/moZgvKOur Facebook page: https://goo.gl/YkbQIj

Script Change interview with Brie Beau Sheldon

Today we welcome game designer, Beau Sheldon, to the show to talk about his life in gaming. Beau is the creator of Script Change and the author behind Thoughty! He has created several games, the most recent and dear of these being Turn. Beau explains his family background and upbringing and how these have informed creating and playing games in his life. Turn is essentially an exploration of the feelings of alienation and fear he experienced in a small town growing up. It deals with ideas of privilege and hiding, shapeshifting and courage. We discuss games more broadly and Beau offers some thoughts on what makes a great game. Our conversation covers design, writing, storytelling and connecting to the characters and themes. From there, the interview moves into the online communities and platforms and which of these are best suited for certain users — Beau expresses a great love of Itch and the community that gathers on the website. We discuss conventions, which one Beau is most excited to attend, getting more exposure for lesser-known games and utilizing Beau's platform for interviews to do this. Our wonderful chat gets finished off on the topic of a dream game table, and why Beau always gravitates towards the 'himbo' characters when selecting who to play with! For all this and more from a truly devoted player and creator from the gaming community, be sure to join us for this episode of Diceology!Links mentioned: Beau Sheldon Thoughty Behind the Masc Itch.io Sagas of the Icelanders Kirigami Dominatrix Display Simulator Sleepaway Dream Askew Anarchy City of Mist Support the showIf you're picking up, what we're putting down, consider becoming a subscriber at https://www.patreon.com/madjayzero.
