  • Sell High, Buy-In Low!

    Buy-In, Immersion, Suspension of Disbelief. These are terms used to describe a certain phenomenon in gaming, or group activities in general. It's when a person is sucked into the game that the world around them melts away, and the players embody their characters.

     

    We discuss Buy-In, what it means, what can affect it, what can effect it, and whether or not you need it.

  • A Journey? FOR HEROES?!

    The Hero's journey is well known in literary circles, and has become pervasive across almost all story-telling media. If the story being told is one of a hero, then it is likely to be compared to, if not based off of, this idea.

     

    In this episode, we discuss the Hero's Journey, it's steps, how to possibly use it in your campaign, and how we feel about it overall.

  • Magic Item Distribution: Monty Hall, or Scrooge?
    We all love magic items. They provide power, and opportunity. They are a great reward for players. All DM's have to ask themselves an important question though. "How do I get these items to my players?"
     
    In this episode, we discuss a few different ways of distributing magic items, our favorites, and of course we have our quiz and monster minute.
