    Hi and welcome back to Narrative Control.  This week I surprise Justin with 10 questions about his gaming preferences as an exercise to learn more about your players.

    Hosts: Sean Nittner and Justin Evans

    Length: 45:17

    Show Notes

    [00:25] Introduction the show: An experiment asking Justin 10 questions.
    [02:17] Sorry about the sound quality.  Our new microphones picked up a lot more background noise.
    [02:54] This Modern Death Promo
    [03:49] What about role-playing games do you like?
    [04:23] How does playing RPGs make you feel?
    [08:16] What other activities make you feel the same way?
    [09:33] What do you look like/sound like when you’re enjoying a game?
    [11:47] What is a buzz kill for you, what makes the game not fun?
    [15:47] What limits do you have when gaming? What don’t you want in a game?
    [24:50] What do you want to happen at the end of a game session?
    Hmmm…. Not quite 10 there. Yeah, I missed some.  We’ll get another one at the end.
    [25:54] Questions are finished. Sean takes a minute to think… For the benefit of all, that minute has been edited out.
    [26:00] Sean’s idea for a game.  1920 Gritty Crime Story.
    [29:00] Justin’s revisions.
    [33:05] Recap of the questions.
    [33:38] Missing Question: What non-gaming activities do you like to do?
    [33:36] Continuation of recap.  Creating a proposal, followed by revisions.
    [37:31] Justin’s follow up question: Where there any answers that surprised Sean?
    [38:59] Continued speculation. We’re going to start guessing now.
    [41:31] Sean’s thought: these would be good questions to ask before starting a game.

    Very interesting show. I'll give it a try and will run the 10 questions game to my RPG group some day. We've been gaming for 4 years now and we went through Set-up sessions (Burning World with Burning Wheel, character background design for Trail of Cthulhu) so we know each other very well, both in terms of gaming and non-gaming aspects. But I'm curious to discover what comes out of the Questionnaire. I might be surprised ;-)

    Emmanuel,

    Assuming it's nothing confidential, I'd love to hear if you got any insights from group that you didn't know before. Good luck and glad you liked the show.
