Playing Episodic TTRPGs
•
Building your TTRPG Campaigns to be like TV Shows is a great way to make every single session engaging and immersive but also gives you many upsides to playing TTRPGs outside of the game, like scheduling and information retention.
In today episode we discuss making your games more episodic and less one plotline broken up into several little chunks of play so that your games are easily digestible and fun.

49:49|The Future of our D&D and TTRPg Games is obviously uncertain, we are here to write the story together and explore a world together, however, in Stories and Storytelling, there is still always foreshadowing of what is to come through dreams, prophecies, and other ways. How can we incorporate them into our games too? Well, it's easy. In this episode, we discuss the important aspects and notions you should look out for to give your players a glimpse of their future and whether they will save it.

56:04|Player Characters in D&D need secrets, at least something that makes them interesting and maybe hides a facette of them for some time from the rest of the party.But the importance of these secrets does not come from keeping them well, it comes from revealing them and letting the rest discover them. So today let us spill the secrets on how to create good secrets!Check here for all further information:You can find us on the Web under these Links: https://www.doubledm.com/ https://twitter.com/DoubleDMpod https://www.instagram.com/doubledmpod/?hl=de https://ko-fi.com/doubledmIf you want to reach out to us via E-Mail use: doubledmpod@gmail.comOur Midroll Music is "Midnight Tale" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Our Outro Music is "Ascending the Vale" Kevin MacLeod (imcompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Betray your D&D Parties sometimes
54:04|Yeah, we mean it! Just seed in a bit of betrayal at your tables (with consent obviously) to spice the game into the most juicy game you can imagine where player characters clash about beliefs and morals, where the game takes unexpected turns that leave even you, the GM, speechless.In today's episode, we are talking about how to seed those moments and opportunities and how players can seize them. So strap in and enjoy the episode, but don't let your guard down!Check here for all further information:You can find us on the Web under these Links: https://www.doubledm.com/ https://twitter.com/DoubleDMpod https://www.instagram.com/doubledmpod/?hl=de https://ko-fi.com/doubledmIf you want to reach out to us via E-Mail use: doubledmpod@gmail.comOur Midroll Music is "Midnight Tale" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Our Outro Music is "Ascending the Vale" Kevin MacLeod (imcompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/LAW AND ORDER D&D UNIT + ANNOUNCEMENT
43:16|Let's discuss law and order, especially lawmaking, in your D&D settings today!! How do you write some good legal texts for your D&D Settings that represent the people making it, living under it, enforcing it, and convicted by it?There are some special questions about law-making in fantasy and sci-fi worlds but general rules still apply and we will discuss both from the basis to the specialisation.We also changed our Podcast Host so if this episode appears weird that's probably why and please let us know what is weird about it.Check here for all further information: You can find us on the Web under these Links: https://www.doubledm.com/ https://twitter.com/DoubleDMpod https://www.instagram.com/doubledmpod/?hl=de https://ko-fi.com/doubledm If you want to reach out to us via E-Mail use: doubledmpod@gmail.com Our Midroll Music is "Midnight Tale" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Our Outro Music is "Ascending the Vale" Kevin MacLeod (imcompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/TTRPG Actual Plays vs Actually Playing TTRPGs
57:13|Today we discuss an on going discourse of the TTRPG Space: "Actual Play Shows are not how you play the games actually", at least that is what some people claim... Most of which have not been part of many actual plays. But there is still some truth to that saying but in our opinion, it not a healthy way to say what is important about any showing/presentation of TTRPGs, and that is what we focus on today!
