About

GMDiscussions.com is the home of the biweekly Roll for Topic podcast, in which your esteemed hosts Chris Salzman and Andy Rau discuss the ins and outs of running roleplaying games. In each episode, we talk about one topic chosen randomly from a regularly-updated table. We often invite guests to join us, and occasionally produce episodes that shake up the format, such as our annual episodes in which we build and then play on-air an actual dungeon/adventure.

We’re not expert GMs–we’re just two people who love gaming. But between the two of us, and with the help of our amazing special guests, we hope to offer you some practical advice and encouragement you can use when GMing your games. We love the diversity of games and voices in our hobby and try to amplify new perspectives through the guests we welcome onto the show and the topics we discuss.
