We're a group of podcasters who have at least one thing in common: We talk (at least a little) about roleplaying games. We might talk about what we're playing at our tables, about what's going on the industry, or about what we've learned that might help others improve their games. We might even talk about other things besides roleplaying games! Explore this site and find out more about our shows.

We rewild, and part of that means renewing oral tradition. That seems like a daunting task, but luckily for us, indie roleplaying geeks have developed the perfect tools for that, called story games. The Myth Weavers records and shares our experiments in how we might use story games to rewild our relationship with story and begin to develop new oral traditions that might help us to reunite family and land.

| Episode #16: Storyjamming | 40:47 | 10/26/2009 | Since we haven’t had a regular episode since June, I thought you might appreciate this little talk.

Willem started this “pedagogy of play” ball rolling; I ran the games in question; and only Giuli created a character... |
| Episode #12: The Pedagogy of Playing Mouse Guard, pt. 2 | 57:32 | 06/15/2009 | We left off in our last episode just as the mice of our patrol finished their training. This episode finishes our character generation process, bringing them into the Guard, talking about their experiences and specialties, their friends and enemies, and their beliefs and instincts. |
| Episode #11: The Pedagogy of Playing Mouse Guard, pt. 1 | 1:15:22 | 06/06/2009 | Rather than rehash the complicated story once again, I’ll just link to the post I wrote on The Fifth World Design Diary: “The Pedagogy of Playing Mouse Guard.” I’ve gotten really excited about Mouse Guard. I’ve even convinced my face-to-face group to give it a try. So,... |
| Episode #10: Polaris & the Pedagogy of Play | 53:30 | 03/31/2009 | In “The Pedagogy of Play: Bite-Sized Pieces” (I, II, III), Willem discussed some ways to use warm-up games to teach mechanics and setting, using Ben Lehman’s game, Polaris, to illustrate. In our last episode, we took a crack at it. Since then, Willem tried it at GameStorm, while I... |
| Episode #9: Experimenting with Polaris | 54:49 | 03/18/2009 | Willem couldn’t make it this time, so we tried Ben Lehman’s Polaris, using the approach Willem outlined in his series on The College of Mythic Cartography, “The Pedagogy of Play: Bite-Sized Pieces” (Parts 1, 2 & 3). We only got as far as level 3.2, but I think it went... |

What questions do you have about the characters, the themes, and the story so far? Does Singing Bird want revenge? How will she get it? How will her PTSD... |
