008: Goblin Quest - How to Play the Game from Beginning to End

00:00:00
>> Clint Scheirer: Are you the type of person who needs to see a game played before you

00:00:03
feel comfortable playing it yourself? Todays episode can

00:00:05
act as a primer to your gameplay, letting you

00:00:08
observe before you try it out. We will cover the

00:00:11
core mechanics of Goblin Quest gameplay such as dice

00:00:14
rolls, re rolling and action tokens, how to deal

00:00:17
with Goblin death, and how to finish your

00:00:20
goblin quest. Welcome to Claim to Game the

00:00:23
podcast helping busy people master tabletop role playing

00:00:26
games one game at a time. I'm Clint Scheirer.

00:00:28
I've been an educator for over twelve years and have helped

00:00:31
gamers of all levels quickly grasp tabletop

00:00:34
role playing games so they can enjoy playing them

00:00:37
to the fullest. Stay tuned so that you can make

00:00:40
your claim to game.

00:00:42
Hello and welcome back to episode eight, season

00:00:45
one of claim to game, a predominantly educational,

00:00:48
fun podcast in which I am daring to coin the word

00:00:50
fungicational. It's like if you happened upon

00:00:53
a Hershey kiss, opened it up and found a golden

00:00:56
ticket inside to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

00:00:59
The Gene Wilder one, of course, Johnny Depps was twisted

00:01:02
and a nightmare filled with clones of Indian British

00:01:05
actor Deep Roy. The game for this season is

00:01:08
Goblin the RPG brought to you by game designer

00:01:11
Grant Howitt, whose works include, but are not limited

00:01:13
to, Honey Heist, Die the RPG,

00:01:16
Spire, Unbound, One Last Job,

00:01:19
Heart, and most recently at the time of this recording,

00:01:22
Eat the Reich. In an email sent

00:01:25
during the holiday season from Rowan, Rook and Deckard,

00:01:27
the company that Grant started with his two business partners and

00:01:30
friends, Grant said the following, "Goblin

00:01:33
Quest is a proper kids game, which

00:01:35
means A) it's dead easy to run and play

00:01:38
B) It enforces drawing and silly voice

00:01:41
rules and C) It's disgusting, it's

00:01:44
gross. It's about horrible grotty little buggers robbing

00:01:47
each other. And that's precisely what I enjoyed reading about when I

00:01:50
was a nipper. And it's about 15 quid, which is

00:01:53
basically free in rpg terms, isn't it?" By

00:01:56
the way, if you are not a Brit, quid is a

00:01:59
british pound, which is also equivalent

00:02:02
if you are an American,

00:02:03
to

00:02:08
in US dollars. If you're not a Brit or an American,

00:02:11
you might want to do a quick Google search to figure out the cost of this great

00:02:14
game because it still is really cheap for

00:02:17
the price of the value that you get. And I do want to

00:02:20
draw your attention to Grant's first

00:02:22
point letter a it's dead easy

00:02:25
to run and play whether you are playing with

00:02:28
children or adults. I believe this can be true. It's easy

00:02:31
to play. I'm going to cover some of the small points of

00:02:34
discussion to get you started without a hitch. And

00:02:37
by now, if you've listened to all the previous

00:02:39
episodes, you are probably like, come on, Clint, just

00:02:42
play the damn game already. And we've spent time

00:02:45
exploring the setting, character creation, quest

00:02:48
building, and now at last, yes, now at last it's

00:02:51
time for you to get silly with your grotty little

00:02:54
buggers.

00:02:55
Now we are going to explore in the next episode

00:02:58
that age old question, to game master or not to game

00:03:01
master. Do you need a DM or GM or do you

00:03:03
not? We're going to move forward today

00:03:06
assuming that we have no game master and that

00:03:09
everybody at the table is going to be a participant

00:03:12
as a player character with their very

00:03:14
own clutch of goblins. Someone needs to

00:03:17
set the scene to get things going. This is normally

00:03:20
the GM, so since we don't have a GM, anybody

00:03:23
randomly can can do this for your group. Pick

00:03:26
somebody. The book says the tallest player, but it might actually

00:03:29
be easier if the person who set up the gaming night

00:03:32
or organized the whole dang thing does it.

00:03:35
It's less confusion, less hemming and hawing, especially from

00:03:38
your new players who haven't found their spontaneous

00:03:41
courage yet to jump in and get things started.

00:03:44
And it gets you right into gameplay. So a

00:03:47
suggestion to set the scene is to

00:03:49
consider where are your goblins on the

00:03:52
map? Or your made up setting? Where are they starting?

00:03:55
When I was playtesting with some other

00:03:58
players, we found it was easiest just to begin in the middle of

00:04:01
the map near the goblin mud pits and go from there.

00:04:04
Then I would suggest restating the first

00:04:07
task and the first stage of the quest.

00:04:10
So if it were me, and I was the one based

00:04:12
on the game that I created saying the

00:04:15
scene to get us all started, here's how I would say it.

00:04:18
"Our goblins are bickering and gnawing on old

00:04:21
trash. Outside the small mud huts near the mud pits in the great

00:04:24
battle camp. one shouts, 'I hate

00:04:27
this same old trash mail. I'm fed

00:04:29
up.' Our goblins have all heard our

00:04:32
entire lives, which has only been about one week

00:04:35
long, about the grand wizard ball providing the

00:04:38
finest dinner in the land. After much complaining,

00:04:40
we are determined to leave our life of trash food behind

00:04:43
and taste the finest dinner weve ever eaten at the table

00:04:46
of the Grand Wizard at the Grand Wizard Ball in the Black

00:04:49
Tower. First we need to get the perfect wizard

00:04:52
disguise. The bugbears over at the Dun Inn should be able

00:04:55
to help us with this let's begin."

00:04:57
Now, whether what you say is much shorter, much

00:05:00
funnier, or whatever, that's what came out of my

00:05:03
mouth hole.

00:05:04
So the next thing to consider is whose

00:05:07
turn is it? And that's the beauty of it. There

00:05:10
is no turn, there is no order. The way that

00:05:12
you play is that you are going to use your action

00:05:15
token. Each player is given an action

00:05:17
token which can be anything lying around your house. It

00:05:20
could be actual tokens, coins, small toys,

00:05:23
action figures, miniatures of goblins. I

00:05:26
actually use some generic people from

00:05:29
my children's room, which makes me think of

00:05:31
the, that cool song, "Clint. Clint.

00:05:34
Clint's my name. Stealing toys from children is my game,

00:05:37
yo!" But when you want to speak or

00:05:40
take your goblin's place in the story,

00:05:43
you need to use your action token and you place it in the

00:05:46
center of the table. Then describe what is your goblin

00:05:49
going to attempt to do in order to get closer to that task

00:05:52
one stage, one goal. Your description could be as

00:05:54
long or as as short as you want. You could be saying

00:05:57
what is your goblin doing? Or you could be speaking

00:06:00
as your goblin, acting out the story with your own words,

00:06:03
totally up to you and your comfort level.

00:06:05
And then, yes, then comes the dice

00:06:08
rolling. It is important for you and all the other players

00:06:11
to have the result table from page 42

00:06:14
of the Goblin Quest book, either printed or pulled

00:06:17
up in front of you at first, this will tell you the

00:06:19
result of your dice rolls and how it

00:06:22
affects your progression through the story. A

00:06:25
quick recap of the table says the

00:06:28
following: If your dice has the result of

00:06:30
one or two, your goblin incurs an

00:06:33
injury and each goblin on your sheet has two hit

00:06:36
points hp each checkbox next to

00:06:39
your goblin is one of those hit points, and if you end up checking

00:06:42
off both boxes, your goblin dies

00:06:45
and you're on to the next goblin. If your

00:06:47
dice result is a three, something bad happens

00:06:50
and this neither hurts nor helps your

00:06:53
story. It helps you in the fact that it lets

00:06:56
you know what happens when your goblins task did not

00:06:59
succeed and you're left worse off. It does,

00:07:02
however, negatively affect the next player's

00:07:04
turn, as now they're going to have to add a

00:07:07
negative one to whatever each dice roll

00:07:10
result they have. So if they rolled a three,

00:07:13
they now have a two. If they rolled a four, they now

00:07:16
have a ah three. So it does affect the person who

00:07:19
plays after you. If you roll and your

00:07:21
dice has the result of a four, something good

00:07:24
happens and this outcome you get to

00:07:27
describe a positive narrative result

00:07:30
with the action that you did, but it still isn't an

00:07:33
outright victory helping you move on to the next

00:07:35
stage. It does, however, give the next

00:07:38
player a, plus one to their dice roll. So if they rolled

00:07:41
a two, they now have a three. If they rolled a four, they

00:07:44
now have a five. And speaking of

00:07:47
five, five or six is a

00:07:50
victory baby! Wait, no, not a

00:07:53
victory baby. That would be a baby that looks like Julius

00:07:56
Caesar riding on a centaur with a machine gun, eating pepperoni

00:07:59
pizza and cake. No, I am talking about

00:08:01
hashtag winning. If the result

00:08:04
of any of your dice equals five or

00:08:07
six, then you are getting somewhere. You

00:08:10
describe what your goblins actions are going to do. They go off without

00:08:13
a hitch, and you get to subtract one

00:08:16
from the current difficulty rating of your

00:08:19
stage that you are in. Now, remember, once your

00:08:21
crew rolls enough victories to bring the current

00:08:24
stages difficulty down to zero, you get to move on

00:08:27
to the next stage of the quest and hopefully on to the next

00:08:30
task. And when it comes to how many dice you're

00:08:33
actually going to get to roll when you're trying to act,

00:08:36
this is determined by how many of your goblin's

00:08:39
characteristics found on your character sheet that you are

00:08:41
conceivably and dare I say,

00:08:44
reasonably, able to include when you're talking

00:08:47
about what your goblin is trying to do. So

00:08:49
remember, we came up with your goblin's quirk,

00:08:52
dream expertise, ancestral

00:08:55
heirloom in defining feature for each

00:08:58
specific goblin to tell them apart. You always

00:09:01
get to roll at least one dice, but

00:09:04
technically, if you are super creative, you could roll up to

00:09:07
six dice at a time. What threw me off,

00:09:09
and this is so silly, because if I just read the

00:09:12
instructions, it would have made perfect sense, is that

00:09:15
every dice counts. And it might

00:09:18
be possibly because I've been playing too much Star Wars RPG

00:09:21
fantasy, flight games with my friend Robert, where the dice results

00:09:24
cancel each other out. Comedian, Jim Gaffigan

00:09:27
would say, "Gosh, can't clint even

00:09:29
read?" Well, yes, every dice

00:09:31
counts. So even though I'm rolling more dice,

00:09:34
it could potentially give you more victories. It could

00:09:37
also potentially give you an equal opportunity for

00:09:40
more goblin injuries, goblin deaths, which would end

00:09:43
the reign of terror you're trying to attempt to bring

00:09:45
upon the Great Battle Camp. Some obvious dice rolling

00:09:49
scenarios that must have come up during

00:09:51
playtesting at this point in our

00:09:53
gameplay, let's talk about them. One is

00:09:56
if you have a dice which results in a good

00:09:59
thing, and then another dice which results in a

00:10:02
bad thing, the final verdict is that you get a

00:10:04
good thing. Good trump, sovereign bad.

00:10:07
However, if you get two dice that are bad

00:10:10
things and you only have one good thing dice, well,

00:10:13
then those two bad dice just beat up and mugged your poor good

00:10:16
thing dice. And so the final verdict is two

00:10:19
bad things and one good thing equal a bad

00:10:21
thing. And so because these are canceling each

00:10:24
other out, regardless of how many good or bad

00:10:27
things you get as a result of your dice,

00:10:30
the next person will only ever get to add plus

00:10:33
one or subtract one from his or her

00:10:36
dice results. And I hope that's as clear as

00:10:39
a goblin mud pit. Finally, if your dice

00:10:41
result goes above six to seven,

00:10:44
an example would be if a player rolled a good

00:10:47
thing and that gives the next player a

00:10:50
plus one, and you're that player that decides

00:10:52
to go next, and you roll your dice in one of

00:10:55
your dices is a six, you get to add plus one

00:10:58
to that six, which makes it a seven, then if you get a

00:11:01
seven, you get two victories to help you reduce

00:11:04
the difficulty rating of your current stage instead of the

00:11:07
normal one victory point on the other end of that

00:11:10
spectrum. However, if the dice result goes

00:11:13
below one, so an example would be a player

00:11:16
before you got a bad thing and then you decide to

00:11:19
go next, which means you have to add a negative one

00:11:22
to any of your dice results, then

00:11:24
if you roll a one and you are subtracting one,

00:11:27
that is zero. And that means that your

00:11:30
goblin is instantly going to incur two

00:11:33
injuries which will result in a goblin

00:11:36
death. Now don't worry, your goblin injuries do

00:11:39
not carry over to your next goblin. So if you already have one

00:11:41
injury and then you rolled a one

00:11:44
which gave you a zero, you're not going to

00:11:47
give an injury to your next goblin. They do not carry

00:11:50
over. And in the same vein of thought, victories,

00:11:53
bad things, good things cannot carry over

00:11:56
between tasks. So if you had

00:11:58
a bad thing in the third stage of

00:12:01
task one, it does not give a minus one

00:12:04
or carry over to the first stage of task number

00:12:07
two. If you had victories in the last

00:12:10
stage of task number two, then you're

00:12:13
not going to get extra victory points to apply to

00:12:16
your difficulty rating in task number three. And

00:12:18
please remember, finally, you have a

00:12:21
reroll mechanic. Remember that the reroll mechanic that

00:12:24
you chose during quest creation, whether it was the

00:12:27
goblin ear or the boss stick or the boss hat

00:12:30
or whatever you did, follow that process if you don't

00:12:33
like the dice result. Our crew that

00:12:35
playtested this game constantly kept forgetting that we could

00:12:38
do it. One player had to keep reminding us that we

00:12:41
could reroll as our heads were in our hands,

00:12:44
overcome with despair over our poor result, yet we could

00:12:47
reroll. Note if you do

00:12:50
Reroll, you have to take all of your

00:12:52
dice and reroll all of them. You can't just pick the

00:12:55
good ones and leave the bad ones. You can't pick and choose

00:12:58
here.

00:12:59
Quick pause on the show. Have you been listening to this first

00:13:01

rpg? Picture yourself pretending to be gross,

00:13:09
grotty little buggers on your neck game night with your

00:13:12
closest friends. Laughs, goofs and

00:13:15
goblins don't wait. Enjoy your copy of Goblin

00:13:18
Quest the rpg today by clicking on the

00:13:21
link in the show notes. You'll be wreaking havoc all over the great

00:13:24
battle camp in no time. Alright, back to the

00:13:26
show.

00:13:27
Speaking of choosing, let's choose to put all of

00:13:30
this into practice with a quick lightning round of

00:13:32
gameplay. I'm at the table with three other

00:13:35
friends, total of four players. I'm using my goblins

00:13:38
and the scenarios that we built in season one here on

00:13:41
Claim to Game, and we need a disguise and

00:13:44
we need to start with those tricky bugbears. I turn

00:13:47
in my action token into the middle of the table and

00:13:50
I say, "Kanker. My cranky goblin

00:13:53
stalks out of the goblin mud pits. Cranky but

00:13:55
determined. He arrives at the door of the Dunn Inn and

00:13:58
the bouncer opens up the slot, revealing two green

00:14:01
angry eyes. 'Yeah, what do you want?

00:14:04
Password?' Kanker is small, but using his

00:14:07
long ape like arms, his defining feature,

00:14:10
he will lift up a beautiful skunk

00:14:13
meat pastry that he baked earlier that day.

00:14:16
Before speaking, he takes a quick sniff of his nose and is

00:14:19
able to tell that this bugbear bouncer has

00:14:22
recently eaten some onions. And so with his other

00:14:25
long arm, he's going to pull out some chopped onions and sprinkle

00:14:27
it over the meat pastry as a garnish.

00:14:30
Kanker pipes up his squeaky voice and says,

00:14:33
"I ain't got no password, but please

00:14:36
sir, except this offering as simple passage into

00:14:39
this humble establishment." And after

00:14:42
2 hours of talking that way, I'm gonna have a sore throat. But

00:14:45
at this point, this is when I'm going to roll to see how

00:14:48
the story progresses. I'm attempting to bribe our

00:14:51
way into the Dunn Inn, the abode of the bugbears,

00:14:53
with this stinky skunk meat pastry.

00:14:57
And because of the way I described what task I was

00:15:00
doing and how I was doing it, I actually get some extra dice

00:15:02
beyond my given one dice that I always

00:15:05
can, can roll. How, you might ask?

00:15:08
Well, let's recap. A) I used my

00:15:11
celebrity baker dream to previously have

00:15:14
cooked a skunk meat pastry that I'm using for a bribe.

00:15:17
That's one extra dice. B) Cankers defining

00:15:20
feature is ape like arms, which I'm using to reach

00:15:23
up to the eyeslot hole and entice the bugbear

00:15:25
bouncer. I'm also using the other ape like arm

00:15:28
to reach up and sprinkle the onion garnish on the

00:15:31
pastry. That's another extra dice. C) My

00:15:34
clutch's expertise is smelling things that

00:15:37
make loud noises. This bugbear is loud and it

00:15:39
makes loud noises. I sniffed him and created

00:15:42
the story that he had just eaten some onions to add

00:15:45
on to the pastry. So that is another dice.

00:15:48
I wasn't able to fit in my goblins, shifty

00:15:51
amphibious eyes. That is, the quirk of my

00:15:54
goblins. But I'm sure the game will give me plenty of

00:15:57
opportunity to use those amphibious eyes later

00:15:59
on. And so that is a total of four

00:16:02
dice that I get to roll. All of them count

00:16:05
and will be individually assessed and compared to the

00:16:08
result table on page 42. And

00:16:11
so here I

00:16:13
go. Alrighty. So I got a five,

00:16:16
a five, a two, and a

00:16:19
three. And here's what that all means. So we'll start with

00:16:22
the highest numbers. The two fives are victories. we

00:16:25
succeeded at our task, and, in fact, we have actually

00:16:28
knocked down our difficulty rating of stage

00:16:31
one in task one from three

00:16:34
down to one, because those two

00:16:36
victories take it down towards zero, where we can

00:16:39
then move on to the next stage. The

00:16:42
two is an injury. So I would go ahead and

00:16:44
use my pencil or my pen and check one of

00:16:47
my, HP checkboxes next

00:16:50
to Canker's HP on his

00:16:53
character sheet. And then the three is something

00:16:55
bad. So it doesn't give me

00:16:58
a, it doesn't take away a victory point. It doesn't give

00:17:01
me anything for my current turn, but what's going

00:17:04
to happen is the next person who plays will have a

00:17:06
minus one to all of their dice rolls

00:17:09
when it comes their turn to play and my turn

00:17:12
is done the only thing I need to do is describe how this

00:17:15
works narratively. So I'll say that the

00:17:18
goblin held up, Kanker, held up

00:17:20
his, skunk meat pastry up to the eye

00:17:23
slot, and the bugbear on the other side

00:17:26
was SO excited to see meat that

00:17:29
he threw open the door, and in a very, like,

00:17:32
cartoon comical, style, just slammed

00:17:35
Kanker against the wall. Like if, if this was a cartoon,

00:17:38
Kanker would be completely flat like 2D

00:17:40
paper and just sort of like flutter

00:17:43
off the wall onto the ground and then pop back into being

00:17:46
3D. So that's where he loses his one hit

00:17:49
point. He is able to open up and get

00:17:51
access. And the goblins, the, the bugbear says to

00:17:54
the goblin, "Come on in. the, the

00:17:57
party started," and as you walk in,

00:18:00
all eyes in the room turn towards

00:18:03
Kanker and his, and his companions. So the

00:18:06
other people, the other goblins that are with him, the other player

00:18:09
characters, and that's where I'll say the minus one comes

00:18:12
in. everybody's sort of hesitant they're a little

00:18:15
bit wary or suspicious of a bunch of goblins

00:18:18
coming into the bugbear's hangout. And

00:18:21
my turn's done. I cannot play or take

00:18:24
control of the story again until everyone has used their

00:18:27
action token. And once everybody has, then that round

00:18:30
is finished and everyone takes their action token back

00:18:33
and you do it all again.

00:18:34
And don't forget, when you get to the stage where

00:18:37
your tasks misfortune is going to

00:18:40
happen, you let the player who decides

00:18:42
to go first in the round explain what they're

00:18:45
going to do. And then before

00:18:48
they roll, then whoever wrote

00:18:51
down that misfortune is going to open up their

00:18:53
envelope or piece of paper and explain

00:18:57
what's going on to the group. What, what is the misfortune that

00:18:59
is befalling everyone here? And once that's said and

00:19:02
done you can incorporate that misfortune into the story. And it

00:19:05
explains why the difficulty rating of that

00:19:08
particular stage and is a little bit higher.

00:19:11
Now let's pretend that this stage is where the misfortune

00:19:13
occurs. I describe how Kanker is going to bribe his

00:19:16
way into the Dunn Inn with the skunk meat

00:19:19
pastry. But before I roll the dice, the player

00:19:22
who was chosen to secretly roll the

00:19:24
misfortune for task one will dramatically,

00:19:27
of course, reach over, grab the note or envelope

00:19:30
where they wrote down the misfortune and they will say in

00:19:33
a loud, voice, "Swifts appear and

00:19:36
dive bomb the goblins to eat lice out of their

00:19:38
hair." And I like that because that maybe is

00:19:41
the reason why, the bugbear didn't see

00:19:43
Kanker and, he slammed open the door. Hence

00:19:46
the one HP that was checked off of the

00:19:49
character sheet for my goblin.

00:19:51
Okay, two more things here to wrap up with

00:19:54
gameplay. What happens if your goblin dies? Well,

00:19:57
if you still have goblins left you can move on to one of

00:20:00
the other six goblins in your clutch. You don't necessarily have

00:20:03
to go in order. You will move to play that

00:20:06
next goblin when the next round begins. And if you've run out of

00:20:09
goblins and they've all died, you still have a way to

00:20:11
contribute to the story and to the overall task.

00:20:14
What you get to do is you get to take over the role of a

00:20:17
friendly non goblin NPC. You can make

00:20:20
up this previously non existent character before the

00:20:23
beginning of the next round and introduce them when you hand

00:20:26
in your action token. NPC's work a little differently

00:20:29
than the goblins. They only get to roll one dice when they

00:20:32
act, but can roll two if they're acting to

00:20:34
their strength. So an example would be if you are playing as

00:20:37
a hobgoblin who's very intelligent and good at writing

00:20:40
and book smarts, and you do something that is book

00:20:43
smarty, then you would be able to roll an extra

00:20:46
dice. NPC's do have two injury

00:20:49
boxes, but they can't die. And if you're

00:20:52
both ticked off, not like angry, but if

00:20:55
both boxes are ticked off, they are just out of

00:20:58
the current stage. Your NPC is out of the current stage and

00:21:01
then they can heal up and appear when the

00:21:03
next stage begins. You can create a new NPC at

00:21:06
the beginning of the next stage if you want. Or you can play that same

00:21:09
NPC if you really like them, just all healed up and

00:21:12
ready to go.

00:21:13
So how do you know when you're done with this game? How do you know when

00:21:16
you successfully finished your quest and

00:21:19
succeeded? Or you utterly failed and everybody

00:21:22
died? Well, that's exactly how you know you

00:21:25
failed. If all the players goblins are dead, you

00:21:27
lose. Good day, sir ...or madam. If you

00:21:30
and the team happen to make it all the way to

00:21:33
the very end of stage three on task

00:21:36
three, and you were able to bring down the difficulty

00:21:39
rating by rolling enough victories, you

00:21:42
achieved your goal. You completed your quest successfully.

00:21:45
Regardless of whether you quote win or lose,

00:21:47
there's always going to be an epilogue stage. And at

00:21:50
this point, this is where each player gets to choose

00:21:53
another player's goblin. And it can be one that

00:21:56
died or is still alive at the end of the game and

00:21:59
create the ways that future generations of

00:22:01
goblins will talk about this goblin almost

00:22:04
like they're passing into legend as a hero. This

00:22:07
epilogue stage is a decompression stage.

00:22:10
It's like a decompression chamber back into

00:22:13
reality, which is not unusual for role playing

00:22:16
games. It allows players to have time to celebrate,

00:22:19
feel their feelings, what they feel. It's a healthy way to

00:22:22
acclimate back into the experiences that you just

00:22:24
shared and like I said, back into reality. And it's

00:22:27
another time to just connect more with your peeps and have

00:22:30
fun. And since Goblin Quest is so lighthearted,

00:22:33
most of that sharing is going to be very positive and

00:22:36
probably, elicit more laughs. And at

00:22:39
this point you have played Goblin Quest. You

00:22:42
could just shut this podcast right off now and go

00:22:45
grab a friend or two or three and run a game.

00:22:48
But maybe you should stick around just a little bit longer because next

00:22:51
time you are going to explore with me the question

00:22:54
to game master or not to game Master,

00:22:57
that is the question.

00:22:58
Is a GM, necessary when playing tabletop

00:23:01
rpg's and which mode works best for

00:23:03
you when playing Goblin quests? If this is the

00:23:06
