Listen Later

Sometimes campaigns stall. Burnout creeps in, players start to disengage, and game nights feel like a chore. It happens! In this episode of Behind the Screens, we’re exploring the power of pausing your campaign and how a well-timed break can actually reinvigorate your table.

We talk about:

  • Signs your campaign might be running out of gas

  • How to communicate with your group about taking a break

  • What to prep before hitting pause

  • How to reboot with fresh energy and avoid the same pitfalls

  • When it's time to reflect, pivot, or even walk away

Whether you're a forever GM or a first-time player, this episode is packed with strategies for keeping your TTRPGs fun, healthy, and sustainable.


💬 Let us know in the comments how you’ve handled campaign breaks in the past — and what worked (or didn’t)!
