This episode stars Michael Kesavan, a.k.a. Dead Aussie Gamer, to talk about assembling the best game. Turns out, diversity and versatility are key, both in-universe and out of game. The types of players you have, and the characters they share, creates a unique social biome where we seek acceptance. DAG also takes us through some tips on starting a campaign, and why the negative perception of "starting in a tavern" is misguided. 3:02 - What if I Told You we were Putting a Team Together? 13:07 - The Social Biome 23:50 - Scheduling: The IRL BBEG 31:18 - Bringing People Together 42:42 - Everything is Connected 56:16 - Be Yourself Find the Dead Aussie Gamer on: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/deadaussiegamer Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/deadaussiegamer Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Call of the Kraken: https://youtu.be/R58VFbKemvE Descent into Avernus: Blood War:  https://youtu.be/-RKsm-gYQN0 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/deadaussiegamer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deadaussiegamer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deadaussiegamer YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/deadaussiegamer Charity Stream: Charity: https://www.naomihouse.org.uk/ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/thinkingcritically Donate: https://live.justgiving.com/pages/donate/1750cd4a-0650-4456-b119-ca0c39bf91f7 Patrons: Robert Hartley @RobertHartleyGM: https://www.patreon.com/RobertHartleyGM Optional Rule @optionalrule: https://www.optionalrule.com/ Matthew Perkins @mperkinsDM: https://www.matthewperkins.net/ Matt Street @mpstreet88: https://www.virtualtimehustle.com/ Intro Music: 'Local Forecast' by Kevin MacLeod Intermission Music: 'Chill' by Kevin MacLeod Outro Music: 'Local Forecast - Elevator' by Kevin MacLeod
