- 2HGM 55: Introducing a Villain
The villain makes the story they say, well we say that. Villains come in all shapes and sizes, not all of them are ‘the big bad’. Sometimes the villain acts like a friend and reveals their betrayal at a critical moment, other times the villain rises from the dead to claim their power. Point is, there are a lot of ways to introduce a villain.

55 min - 2HGM 51: Character Growth
A new adventurer starts out at level one, goes on an adventure and is the exact same person they were before the adventure? That doesn’t seem right, characters should grow over time. Hence leveling systems in a lot of TTRPGs, characters refine their skills or develop new ones. But don't worry, you know we can't resist talking about the roleplay side of anything and this episode is not an exception.

Scheduling can be a real downer sometimes, we discuss strategies to still get your TTRPG fix even when the group can’t get together. One-on-one roleplaying has its nuances, it also just hits different. We’ve done a fair bit of one-on-one, because, well, we are addicted sickos. Hopefully our experiences have lessons in them, just not sure what they are.
