Great Players, Iconic Art, and When AI Fits In

Arcadia takes the GM seat this episode, and Jess is back! Tori opens the discussion after losing initiative, exploring good and bad player characteristics. The top trait of a great player? Being engaged in the game. Remember, you’re working with the GM, not against them—a principle that holds true at most tables. Both GMs and players can collaborate to make the game enjoyable for everyone.

Other important player traits include sharing the spotlight, allowing others to make mistakes, and offering encouragement—telling someone they’re doing a good job or that something is cool goes a long way.

After the break, Malcolm discusses the movie “Eye of the Beholder: The Art of Dungeons and Dragons.” The film highlights the incredible art behind the game and the D&D universe, providing an iconic visual foundation for imagination and worldbuilding. The episode also touches on the role of AI art and when it’s appropriate to use in gaming and storytelling.
