A cloaked figure approaches you, bearing a dusty tome as they do so. Once they reach you, they open up their tome, and speak, in a melodic tone, "Hello and welcome to the Golden Wheel Tavern!"
In this new episode, we discuss NPC's and how to make them interesting. We share our tips and tricks on making characters your party will actually want to know about.

Reddit Rules Review!
Saturday Jul 27, 2024
Saturday Jul 27, 2024
House rules are a staple of the TTRPG genre. While the rules are useful and are what makes a system, changing the rules to better fit what your group wants or needs is integral to the true TTRPG experience.
In this episode, we review houserules from reddit, possibly providing rules alternatives, and new ideas, These are, of course, just our opinions.

Solo TTRPG Minisode: Bloodless
Saturday Jul 13, 2024
Saturday Jul 13, 2024
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the bartender is taking a long rest via Gritty Realism Rules (DMG pg. 267), and so it's just the Tavernkeep! Alone, in the dark, the Tavernkeep has decided the best way to spend the time is playing a TTRPG, specifically a solo TTRPG called Bloodless!
A vampire at the end of his wits, just hoping to make it home before sunrise, Simon Beldevon has to try to navigate a troublesome night. Will he make it to his safe-house, tomes in hand, or will he become a victim of the very thing he was an essence of, the darkness?

Session Zero

Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Where did it all begin? Was there a time before time itself? What was the great prime cause? Why are we here, and why do we exist at all?
We have no idea how to answer those questions, but in this episode we'll discuss session zero, which is sort of the same, right? We discuss what a session zero is, what it's for, why you should use it, and how to use it!

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.
