May 20, 2023 Martial Vs Caster
Swords are cool. Magic is sweet. But which is better? That's not what we're discussing.

Instead, we're discussing a common argument in the D&D space, the power level difference between martials and casters. We discuss why the gap exists, what problems exacerbate it, and how you, both as a player, and as a DM can be more cognizant of the issue and how to work on it.

April 22, 2023 Party Roles
What are we doing here? Why do we exist? What's our purpose in life? Is this really what we should be doing? If you ask these questions of yourself, that's your issue to solve. If your TTRPG character is asking that of themselves, then this is the episode for you!

We're discussing party roles and how they apply in combat, social, and exploration situations. We also discuss why they're important, why they're not, and how to play around with roles.

Do you feel burnt out by your TTRPG system? Are there too many rules? Too few rules? Too fiddly? Too loose? You may be suffering from a Fluff and Crunch imbalance.

On this episode, we discuss the challenges balance of these two aspects of games, and why it's so very important to understand your preference in regards to these. We also discuss how to avoid or treat system burnout, especially for DM's.
