Saul and Jolene discuss the Bait and Switch game. It is when you, as the GM, present a game of a genre, a type a particular setting or even a system, but when the players sit down to play, you switch it up on the players and try to run something other than presented. Saul discusses an idea with some fellow GM's and they inform Saul that its a bad idea and say its a "Bait and Switch" game. Saul was thinking it was just a way to surprise the players and didn't think he was baiting and switching players. Still he didn't run the game and years later still thinks he wants to try it but present more information about the game he wants to run.
Saul and Jolene ran what they call the "Big D&D Game at DunDraCon" where they ran 3 tables of 6 players using 5th Edition rules. Each table was a different genre but they were all connected by an over arching storyline. Saul and Jolene discuss whether that was a bait and switch game.
