The Matter of Elbe Kobold – Artist Michelle Smallwood

Archeologist and tabletop role-playing game designer Scott Smallwood joins me on the podcast today. We learn about Scott’s history with TTRPGS as well as his day job as an archeologist. We discuss how cultural respect informs his RPG adventure design and why he doesn’t like the term “race.” The conversation covers a variety of RPGs and Scott’s own The Matter of Elbe RPG. He also shares his advice for gamemasters, which involves reactive GMing and more.
