- How to deal with TTRPG Burnout
Today, we talk about TTRPG system burnout, we discuss what you can do to spot it, to counteract it, and also, if it comes to it, how you can recover from it. It is no joke and needs to be taken very seriously so let's talk about it and find the best way out of it.
TTRPG System Burnout is when you are feeling worn out by playing TTRPGs, sometimes just with a specific system, and we discuss the best ways to help you spot it fast, and then what can be done about it.

56 min - How to play D&D more collaboratively
On this episode, we discuss collaborative play in D&D and TTRPGs. Not just having fun together, but also having systems, rules, guidelines, or other elements that facilitate play and encourage our players to help each other out during play.
We discuss The Help Action, what we can do with it, and why you should do more with it. We talk about communication and facilitating an environment where everyone wants to immerse and participate as well as systems that make sure players care for each others characters.

58 min - Making sure our players can play the game
Today, we discuss why we as Game Masters need to be careful with what we say and how we say it at our D&D/ TTRPG Tables. We control the player's eyes, ears, and senses inside the game. They ask questions and expect answers.
We talk about Objectivity and Perception and how we can better guide players to make informed decisions, or ask for more information, and how you, as a game master, can do so as well.
Our great friends over at Homie and The Dude are currently running their 3rd Successful Kickstarter, The Scorched Basin, a TTRPG Setting inspired by Mad Max and Dune. You can click right here to support the (already funded) Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homieandthedude/scorched-basin?ref=522qn9
For our Advertisement of the Scorched Basin, we used 3 different Tracks by Michael Ghelfi:
- Lively Desert from the RPG Ambience Vol 8
- Cursed Deser from the RPG Ambience Vol. 6
- I Dream of Broken Machines from the Mystery Music Collection Vol. 1

1 hr 31 min - Crafting Systems don't work in D&D
In today's episode, we discuss Crafting Systems in TTRPGs, D&D especially, and why... they just don't work... or at least why they don't really work well. We discuss what it means to add crafting to D&D and what you would need to do to make it fun.
We discuss it in proxy for all other TTRPG Systems too, and often come to the conclusion that crafting needs to either be a crucial mechanic to the game or just an afterthought to round your game off, and then it's often just not discussed cause it doesn't influence the game.

55 min - All Paths Lead to Rome
Today we talk about Game Mastering, what a surprise, and a special way of Game Mastering, that we dubbed "All Paths Lead to Rome" wherein gamemasters lead their players to the right outcome all the time and make sure they arrive there together.
This provides some problems if done excessively, in moderation, this is not bad practice, but if done too much, it can quickly lead to a stale game where creativity is stifled, so how do we stop ourselves from GMing like that?

1 hr 6 min - Changing the rules of D&D
In today's episode, we talk about other ways to change the D&D Rules that we thought up and would like/not like to see in our games. We muse on different rule changes we thought about implementing, but haven't actually done.
We don't mean homebrew rules that change on little aspect of the game, but rules that fundamentally change the game we are playing, and we talk about if that is a good or a bad thing to do. Join us as we discuss things we would like to see and think about that could make D&D Cooler, like weapon variety, more class changes and a whole lot more.

1 hr - How to make D&D combat worse, or not?
In today's episode, we are dissecting an Article published by The Gamer about 8 Rules we should do away with D&D Combat... And we have opinions about these rules... Most of the tim,e we disagre,e and we will explain for what reasons to,o but for some of these rule,s we see a reason and an explanation, but still think that maybe dnd's rules are there for a reason.
The Article can be found here: https://www.thegamer.com/dungeons-dragons-dnd-dungeon-masters-dm-rules-combat-dont-use/. We do criticize the article, The Gamer, and the author of this article in our episode; however, we do not condone any form of hate towards the author or their style of play. It is not for us, and we explain why we are not here to just tear down their article and do not wish anyone to do so.
