59 min - What makes TTRPGs Beginner Friendly?
D&D is beginner friendly, right? At least thats what a lot of people say about the game often, it gets played by the most amount of new people to the hobby, but is that really because it's so good for beginners?
Not really, at least when you're asking us... The game is great... But it's not that great at helping beginners play the game and learn what TTRPGs are all about, but is there really a beginner friendly ttrpg?

58 min - What makes a D&D Character Concept good?
Characters are the lifeblood of TTRPGs, without them, there is no game, and most importantly, characters are what make a TTRPG game actually good. But does that mean all you need is some kind of Joe to play? Not really
Character Concepts are the Outline of your character, they're a phrase, an image, something that really sparks that idea of the character for not just you, but mainly you! But how do we come up with good concepts? Or more directly, what makes a concept for a D&D Character even good?

57 min - Structuring Your One Shot the right way
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 no
That'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.

58 min - Creating Easy Factions That Matter
Factions are important players in your D&D and TTRPG Campaigns. They're much more influential and bigger than NPCs, but oftentimes they also don't take as big a role as these NPCs
They are, after all, groups of NPCs, today we discuss creating easy factions and how to make them matter at your tables to create the effect that all of these factions are useable for.

56 min - Effortless DMing Exercises and Tricks
We watched a phenomenal video by Edariad on Youtube, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhmlT8crkG4
Edariad 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.

39 min - What Is Session Aftercare?
Session Aftercare is what today is all about. But what exactly is Session Aftercare? It's another tool to help you run your games in a comfortable, sustainable, and engaging way. But how does that work?
Session Aftercare is the idea that after a session, the group stays together and talks about the game, what they liked and didn't like, to help align the game with everyone else's goals and needs. This also includes talks about the game and doing whatever the group needs to decompress and destress themselves from the amazing session you had

1 hr - Making Crits Matter
Critical Strikes are a staple of great moments in D&D and many other TTRPGs. But why? Just because you roll a special number on a plastic dice? No, because we make them special through many different simple techniques.
We talk about raising the stakes to make a crit pay off even more, making the crit actually hit hard like a truck and what it means to actually roll a critical hit. And any of these tips are simple and easy to implement without any prep, knowledge or even skill.
