In this week's episode, we talk about Character Creation with our Guest CCdotdot but especially focused on the Gesture-forward way of creating characters. If you do not know what this means, give the Episode a listen, CC goes in-depth into how Gestures create a Character instead of how people "normally" or "traditionally" create Characters with a Historical Background.

CC talks about his Session 0 System-agnostic Mini-Game: The DMPC is dead, which is supposed to help players understand and discover impressions of fateful moments in their past adventures and how that ties into Gestures creating a Character.

We also go into how this way of discovering what the Character is like through their Gestures revealing their Essence is for Players and GMs new and old alike.

In this episode of DoubleDM, we talk about our Prep Process and what it means to do good prep. Prep is done so a DM can run a game comfortably, that's mostly why newer DMs do more Prep than experienced DMs, but even Experienced DMs have highly different Levels and Ways of Prep all going back to them being able to run the game comfortably.

We answer questions in what helps us do our Prep, what we actually Prep, and what we think of the Quantum Challenge, if you don't know what the Quantum Challenge is, you should stay tuned throughout the Episode cause I am sure you know exactly what we are talking about.

We give advice on how to do Prep more effectively and how different Prep Levels work for different People

In this episode, we talk about plot twists. They are shocking Moments your players will be caught off guard by and make them think about their next move.

We talk about how to set them up, what you need for them to work, and about how subtlety plays a big role in making them way more impactful that the Information you do reveal to your players might be. These Moments are turning points in Stories that we don't want to forget so having them Matter is one of the most important Keystones for that.

This week's episode focuses on our past lived Stories, Memories we hold dear in our Hearts of our time playing TTRPGs. What was your first memorable moment, where you had to just sit back and look around you realizing how amazing this is. 

Nostalgia plays an important part in our TTRPG Lifes, more than one might think, cause Nostalgia influences us, it shapes our Expectations and our Experience of the games we play, which is why it is good to look back once in a while to see from where you came.
