E155 - Dungeon Mastery - Power Creep: Bigger, Harder, Deeper, Faster

1 hour 58 minutes

Balancing has always been a major issue in tabletop game design, so this week on the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters discuss one of the subtle issues at new tables, and that’s Power Creep. It can be a little difficult to define, and it can definitely sneak up on Dungeon Masters, but this meta discussion should shine a little light on a topic that will be familiar to most seasoned Dungeons & Dragons players.
