Have you ever run a tabletop RPG session where someone at the table is constantly checking their phone, drifting into arguments, getting a little too tipsy, or just mentally somewhere else? In this episode of Art of the Game, we discuss additional types of players you may encounter at the table, whether it’s a game of D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Daggerheart, Shadowdark, or any other tabletop RPG. These player types may be less common than the ones we covered in our previous video, but they can sometimes create even bigger challenges for the group.
Why does it happen? Is it a problem with the game, the player, or the modern world full of glowing screens?
Running a great RPG session isn’t just about rules and story. It’s also about the social experience at the table and how everyone contributes to it. If you’ve ever struggled to keep players engaged or wondered how to deal with difficult situations at the table, this episode is for you.
