57:58|One Shots are a big part of TTRPG culture: sitting down, playing a Game and Character for a few hours, and then getting back up and moving on. But is it that simple? Sometimes yes, sometimes noThat's why we discuss One Shots again today. We have done so in the past, but never focused on the structure of one-shots around pacing, build-up, planning, and executing the one shot.

57:35|We watched a phenomenal video by Edariad on Youtube, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhmlT8crkG4Edariad talks about several exercises to get better at Gming TTRPGs without actually sitting in the seat. And they are amazing. So we thought we would expand on the Video, give our own takes, but also not just copy what Edariad put into the video. We only talk about a small portion of the Video.We discuss what it takes to make these exercises work, why they work and which exercise we liked best and use ourselves. We discuss the different possibilities and how Gming is a craft that can be trained and honed.
