The Tabletop guys discuss the importance of building a Character Backstory that works well with not only the Keeper and their world but also with others at the table. They focus on bettering collaborative storytelling while retelling experiences from various TTRPG's, including LOTR D6, D20 Modern, Call Of Cthulhu 7e and Dungeons and Dragons 5e.

On this episode the Tabletop Totality guys discuss how to create creatures or make monsters in various Tabletop Roleplaying Games, including Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons & Dragons 5e! Saddle up, Bone Ponies!  

Chugga-chugga-choo-choo bone ponies! All aboard the Railroad campaign! That's right! Get ready to make no decisions that actually matter as your characters are reduced from mightly heroes to sidekicks for the overpowered and overly present DMPC. Perhaps you'd rather lose all sense of enjoyment and purpose as the Game Keeper drags you forcefully through their confusing and barely intriguing novel! Many have horror stories of such Railroading while others, even among the wise, claim it is a necessary evil. Come on down and listen to find out how to accomplish goals as a DM or set necessary plot points without steamrolling your players and running right off the tracks.

So you killed the dragon. You beat the Lich. You saved the princess, and you defeated the witch. What comes next? What shall your heroes do with their rewards? Is there more to the development of your characters than just their heroic deeds? What are you to do when not busy traveling or fighting monsters? There is a lot more to do than you might think. Come on down to the Bone Pony Ranch and find out how to make the most of your character's downtime with TableTop Totality.
