Podcasts about Metagaming

Metagaming. It's one of the many topics that will spark controversy among those in the hobby. A listener wrote in explaining that they love making terrain and minis and have offered their services to their DM. Unfortunately, the DMs are reluctant, as they don't want the player to have metaknowledge or spoil the reveals of the campaign. In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave bring on our return special Wise DM, the Wizard Washburn, from our Terrain and Minis episode, to discuss how we have leaned into the inevitability of metagaming to enhance our campaigns by letting Scott build out a ton of our terrain, maps, and minis and how we have let it not spoil the fun for the DM, Scott, or any of the other players.3:40 Our return special guest… Scott “The Wizard” Washburn from Paper Terrain!5:05 The overview of how we approach compartmentalizing the knowledge of the player and the knowledge of the character.7:05 The fact of the matter – once you've played once, you now have “meta” knowledge.10:15 The Wizard Washburn reveals his general approach to planning with the DM in multiple campaigns he's been a player in.13:35 The idea of context in metagaming.18:22 Terrain is one thing… but what about miniatures and seeing what the other team is playing with?25:50 Always remember that RPG means roleplaying GAME.30:05 Leaning on players to help decrease the level of prep necessary for your game.32:07 Final Thoughts.

Lord Richter and Lady Toast return this week to discuss half grains vs. whole grains and gush over the pyric victories the guys have done in a single adventuring day. Then they speculate on Tom's tendency to perform diplomatic functions with a level of tact that would make Richard Nixon blush.

Further Adventures in the World of Metagaming from Matt and Joe

We begin our journey into the most despised tactic any player of TTRPG's can deploy--metagaming! In this first episode on the subject, Joey investigates some of Matt's intuitions on what is and is not metagaming. Matt is revealed to be a weirdo with janky intuitions that don't track the phenomenon at all. Shocking!

It was my freshman year of high school and my buddy had gotten very excited about a new module. He wouldn't tell me what it was, but for months all I heard about was how awesome it was going to be. He was reading it over and over again, making lists of items, writing down enemies and NPCs. It was going to be his first game as a GM. I was getting stoked for it.We gathered at his house; I had brought the Mt. Dew. Pizza was in the oven.That is when he revealed our new campaign with a flourish.Tomb of the Lizard King!I had read it last year.At that point I could have made a big deal about already reading the module, but it would have crushed him. So, I kept my mouth shut and just played. It did not take long before I came to my first problem. The PCs needed to go a certain way, but the party was leaning towards an entirely different path. I could see my buddy was struggling to get everyone headed in the right direction for the encounter. So that is when I used my knowledge of the module to get the game back on track. A brief impassioned speech later and the rest of the PCs were back in the game.My buddy was so happy after the first session and everyone had a ball. The game went perfectly.That was Metagaming and to hear people talk about it, I was a monster for doing it.But all metagaming is not considered equal and in this episode Christina and I are going to talk about metagaming. What it is, why it is bad, why it is good, and why it is just another tool to make your games Epic.Christina, what is metagaming?

This week, Morrus, Peter, and Jessica discuss whether metagaming is cheating.

Arsenal Pass Ep47 - Deck Selection and Metagaming We are covering the continuous evolution of the metagame in this ProQuest season - but we also discuss metagaming in general. How do we come to our metagame reads in a world environment? How do we decide when to play which deck based on the metagame read? We also detail how we believe the metagame will evolve in the coming weeks as well. What's really going to bake your noodle later is this: if we are right, is it because we influenced it in a popular podcast or was it destined to be that way no matter what?
