Welcome to Newb Perspectives, where 4 friends talk about a variety of table top role playing games from new player's perspectives. We have each been playing for 4 years or less and we try to offer a fresh perspective from a diverse range of backgrounds including video games, board games and storytelling. Every odd numbered episode will be a discussion of some RPG topic we find interesting or is requested, then the even episodes we will try to demonstrate some of that content with a short actual play in a variety of systems.
