Professional GMing with RP [S3E6]

Campaign Spotlight

In this week's episode, we chat with RP about the expectations of the hero's journey, mysterious celebrity clients, and getting paid to DM. Spoilers for Beowulf, I think? We tank our chances for a Neuralink sponsorship in this one, just like we tanked our chances for a Tesla sponsorship earlier this season. (Also, just in case it wasn't clear, we recorded both this interview and the interview with Austin before the election, when joking about Elon Musk's failing companies felt different somehow.)

RP plugs Order of the Stick in this episode, and the fact that this webcomic has been running for more than two decades has made Jake feel intensely mortal. They also plug Demon: A Memoir and The Silmarillion. Head on over to RP's Instagram to see what they're working on, send them an email to ask about playing in one of their professionally DM'd games, or support them on Patreon or Ko-fi.

In this episode we also refer back to a couple previous conversations, including our interview about OSR-style gameplay with Max and our Flashlight on recent decisions at Wizards of the Coast.

This week's PC intro comes from Hali, who plays in one of RP's home games with friends, and who's also been a player in one of Jake's campaigns.
