  • S6E41: The Thirteen Keys Applied to TTRPGs
    2024/11/07

    This week, Adam and Tiana take a tool from politics and political coverage to talk about the best predictors for the survival of a TTRPG table. Because while we do our best to stay away from national politics, we do agree that there are politics inherent in table dynamics, and we want to give our listeners every chance to stack the deck in their favor.

  • S6E40: How to Make BBEGs Not (Immediately) Explode
    2024/10/31

    This week, Adam and Tiana talk about Big Bad Evil Guys and how to make them feel appropriately dangerous and scary. We've all been there: you spend a campaign building up to the BBEG, and then when you get into the final fight, they go down like a tower of cards in the first few rounds. How do we make that not happen? Let's talk about it!

    This week, Adam and Tiana introduce the second secret ingredient. We've talked about it before in passing, but this time, we dive deep into why curiosity is the second secret ingredient and how it can elevate your games. Be curious, not judgmental.

    2024/10/05

    This week, Adam and Tiana dive into a rewrite of the Ranger player class that Adam's been working on. The goal is to design to the Ranger fantasy, without being overly reactive to the 2024 changes to the class.
