Hi Alex!

Recently I've been gearing up for my first steps with tabletops, so apart from being a delight to listen to, Rusty Quill Gaming had been a huge help with getting the gist of it, showing me what to expect and how to prepare.

That being the case, I wanted to ask you what got you into TRPGs/GMing, and do you have any advices for beginners?

So I was cast in a play at uni about a bunch of TTRPGers getting self help. The director insisted I play a game to learn what it was. I enjoyed it more than I should have.

Advice for beginners? We’re all just winging it most of the time, if anyone tells you otherwise I’d be skeptical. :)

Also look up Donjon dungeon generator. It will REALLY help.

Going back to the RQGaming days (only actual play podcast I've listened to all the way through, loved it), were you annoyed at all when the party skipped planned material like the Eiffel Tower?

Yes.
