Episode 40: The Strangest Thing of All

Ep. 40

We went into the studio early especially to record this while Stranger Things 5 is still topical. We have gripes about it, of course. It's not just the writing, it's not just the inaccurate D&D, it's the terrible writing *within* the show's D&D. Paddy has an axe to grind this time and the Duffer Brothers' heads are on the block!

    16:04||Ep. 39

    17:36||Ep. 38
    This week we're talking about the place comedy has in our home games. If you're anything like us, you like a laugh at the table, but how do you make sure it's not distracting or otherwise 'ruining' your game?

  • 37. Episode 37: Running Non-Combat Encounters

    18:05||Ep. 37
    We've talked about non-violence and avoiding combat, but we've never gone into the nuts and bolts of running non-combat encounters like chases and negotiations. That changes now.
  • 36. Episode 36: Stocking Stuffer Christmas Special!

    18:11||Ep. 36
    We're doing a special Christmas episode full of all the little tidbits of advice that didn't quite fit into our other episodes this year. We've stuff our stockings full of them and are opening them up today to share with you all!
  • 35. Episode 35: Non-Violence in TTRPGs

    17:12||Ep. 35
    This week we're talking about how to play games that avoid violence altogether. That doesn't mean they avoid conflict, mind you! So the question comes: how do we introduce conflict while avoiding violence?

    19:07||Ep. 34

  • 33. Episode 33: What Is 'Official' Anyway?

    16:45||Ep. 33
    This simple-seeming question is deceptively complex. This week we're breaking down why and might just change your perspective on what you consider to be 'Official' content.
