Embodying a character through voice, mannerisms, and expressions. You don't need to be an actor, just willing to dive into the story.

The ins and outs of getting into the mind and heart of a character, and playing a role. This is a role playing game after all.

Failure is the worst! Or is it? We talk about how we use and appreciate failure when we experience it during an RP session.

We continue our conversation from last time as we finish discussing Jesse's experience running his first homebrew one-shot. Improv vs preplanned, railroad vs sandbox, how to know what will fit into your session length, and more!

Jesse recently ran his first homebrew one-shot adventure! So we dialog about how that went and what went into the planning and running of it. Inspiration, improvisation, preplanned content composition, it all plays a part in crafting an engaging experience designed to last a short period of time.

We chat about the power of the session zero and Compatibility One-Shots. Trademark pending... not really. We also dialog about our recent revival of our core D&D group after a 1.5 year hiatus. A session zero mid-campaign? We think yes.

We sit down for a conversation with Mary McGill: Tik-Tok personality, visual artist, and TTRPG fan. We chat about her experience with D&D from her first exposure a couple years ago (in our group nonetheless) to now, playing and DMing in multiple groups simultaneously.

We talk about the various ways a player can ensure they set themselves and everyone else at the table up for success to have a great time!

A "session zero", as it were, to introduce ourselves (Jesse and Justin) and discuss how we got into tabletop role playing games.
