- HOT TAKES ABOUT TTRPGs (Holiday Special)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITH THIS SPECIAL SATIRE EPISODE!!
Everyone has different opinions about TTRPGs and in any discussion we will find something to disagree on so let's get some of the most contested points we have made or want to make out there!
As always this episode is supposed to be a talkshow about TTRPGs with some great bits of advice for you to use and this episode is no different, yet the lesson today is: "It is okay to disagree and play in your way!"

47 min - Sessions made for Worldbuilding
We're running a Q&A again!! If you're using Spotify you can instantly use the built-in feature otherwise you can refer to our Social Media channels for a place to drop questions.
Often times when we play TTRPGs we don't have time to spend hours outside the game to prepare our world and create deep lore... So why not Worldbuild while we play One-Shots and Campaigns?
Not so fast. How does that even work? Should you even do worldbuilding during play? What are other ways to worldbuilding than just plain writing? And a lot more is what we talk about in this episode

56 min - How to make great TTRPG Handouts
Everyone loves it when the GM hands you an old letter from an NPC or gives you a physical puzzle to touch. But what more is there to Props and using them?
Handouts and Props are a great addition to playing TTRPGs, but how can we design these handouts to fit our table and needs to evoke immersion, help share information and create a better sense of play.

55 min - Evoking Character Development in your TTRPGs
Character Development is a crucial aspect of playing and enjoying a Tabletop Roleplaying Game. It's what Characters revolve around, yet how do we create moments for it at the table?
Let's discuss that today. We feature stories of how development works in our games and give a ton of advice on setting the stage for development and creating characters that are open for development.

58 min - Creating Conflict and Evil Campaigns
Evil Campaigns are a big old fascination of the TTRPG space, but what do they actually mean, and if we need them?
We also discuss Character conflict and why Campaigns using a denominator like "Good" or "Evil" might not be that great in the end and why just playing campaigns with strong themes and even better defined characters will still lead to the same outcome just in a more natural better way for storytelling.

56 min - How to involve Pets in play
Pets are often a minor thing in TTRPGs and yet everyone wants to have an Owlbear Baby (Thank you Baldurs Gate) or a Dog, Cat, Bird, Snake, Arachnid and so on.
We think pets are as stated a minor thing but still believe this is a great topic to talk about since pets can do great things at the table for roleplay and even mechanical reasons, however at the end its really up to you what you do with pets.

56 min - Do we really need Realism in TTRPG?
A discussion that always makes the rounds in the TTRPG Space is the discussion about Realism and how it can help you or hinder you in play.
As you might already guess, we think it's neither and both simultaneously. We discuss what Realism can do for you, how discussions around Realism are sometimes not what they are and how you can use Realism in your games to the degree you want to!

45 min - Creating High Stakes Situations in TTRPGs
Today we discuss the topic of raising the stakes at your TTRPG tables and dealing out consequences for your Players actions and what's the best way for you to have fun doing it.
For us, stakes are mostly the threat of a consequence for a character's actions coming to be, it's not the threat itself but just that that threat is likely to happen, so how do we play this unseen gambling game in our TTRPGs? This episode answers that question and many more!

1 hr 3 min - Inviting More Chaos in the Game
Today we have an incredible topic and episode for you that discusses chaos at the D&D and TTRPG tables. But what does that mean and why do you want more of it?
What we understand as chaos is the innate randomness and creativeness of TTRPGs that allow for truly unexpected things to happen. Living in the Moment of the Game and Experiencing it is what you want from most games and today we're here to help you understand how you can invite more and let loose when playing.
