Saturday May 04, 2024
Saturday May 04, 2024

We discuss tips for DM's and players trying to bring in new players, as it's how the hobby grows.

Failing Forward
Saturday Apr 20, 2024
Saturday Apr 20, 2024
Sometimes you try your best, and you don't succeed. It's okay though, the DM knows how to handle it.
In this episode, we discuss the idea of Failing Forward, which allows the story to continue even if the party rolls only nat 1's. It's not giving the party free successes, but rather making their failures cost something while not stalling out the game.

Brainstorm: Nature God Apocalypse
Saturday Apr 06, 2024
Saturday Apr 06, 2024
The gods have died, and the world is fading. It's up to the adventurers to... barely make ends meet.
In this episode, we brainstorm a campaign from a few themes. This was an exercise in improvisation and campaign-building, and a slight break from our usual format, but we had a lot of fun, and we hope you did to!
Please share the podcast through whatever channels you have available to you, we really appreciate it!

Safety Tools!
Saturday Mar 23, 2024
Saturday Mar 23, 2024
It's dangerous to go alone, take these!
In this episode, we discuss safety tools. These are useful barriers for discomfort, and can actually elevate the experience for everyone at your table. You might not think you need them, and maybe you don't, but there's a good chance you use at least one of them, without even really acknowledging it.
As always, please spread the word of our podcast, we appreciate anything you do to increase our reach!
Correction: The "Let's Not" card is from Fiasco, not Warhammer.
Content warning: there are brief discussions of torture involving toenails, and a brief description of a giant spider. There is a sound warning, but keep that in mind as you listen.

Sell High, Buy-In Low!
Saturday Feb 10, 2024
Saturday Feb 10, 2024
Buy-In, Immersion, Suspension of Disbelief. These are terms used to describe a certain phenomenon in gaming, or group activities in general. It's when a person is sucked into the game that the world around them melts away, and the players embody their characters.
We discuss Buy-In, what it means, what can affect it, what can effect it, and whether or not you need it.

A Journey? FOR HEROES?!
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
The Hero's journey is well known in literary circles, and has become pervasive across almost all story-telling media. If the story being told is one of a hero, then it is likely to be compared to, if not based off of, this idea.
In this episode, we discuss the Hero's Journey, it's steps, how to possibly use it in your campaign, and how we feel about it overall.
