Summary: You know that player. The one who sits in at the far end of the table, plays around on their phone, and occasionally throws the (sometimes wrong) dice when prompted. They never remember the rules, they aren't involved in any subplots, and they just bob along after the rest of the party. But when you ask them why they aren't engaged with the game, they respond, "Are you kidding? I'm having a blast!" As casual gaming become more and more a part of our culture, many GMs face the challenge of creating a game that can appease both their casual and hardcore players. This week, Jason and the crew discuss their own experiences with casuals and the solutions they've found. We'd also like to welcome Jonathan Strootman to the crew! Jonathan is the man behind Grok Bloodface's intimidating scowl. Go check out his work at the Tales of an Orc kickstarter page (http://www.talesofanorc.com)!
