There's nothing wrong with tension and drama emerging through the actions of characters, but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. We're talking about how we can use levity as PCs and DMs to enhance the entire experience.
As Players and DMs we don't always see eye to eye, but that shouldn't stop you from having great experiences at the table.
We're kicking off season 2 with a look at some awesome alternatives to 5e Dungeons and Dragons.
We've had a blast for these last 50 episodes and can't thank you enough for joining us.  As usual we're doing a top ten but this time with a twist.  Let's get spicy.
It may seem strange to willingly sign away some amount of our agency to another, be it a god, dark patron, king, family member, or friend.  We're discussing the opportunities that exist within these exchanges and why some of our favorite role play is born out of these arrangements.
Healing plays a massive role in the lethality or lack thereof in any ttrpg system.  Let's talk about why 5e needs to rethink how healing works.
EP 43 DM Crisis

EP 43 DM Crisis

2022-12-2353:00

Is 5e suffering from a DM shortage?  If so, what might be contributing to a DM exodus from the space, and what can be done to slow or reverse the process?
EP 42 Milestone vs. XP

EP 42 Milestone vs. XP

2022-12-1654:47

For ages the mighty XP has dominated the landscape, but many tables in 5e have moved to a milestone leveling system.  Is this indicative of a fundamental issue in the XP system that 5e has stratified?  What are the pros and cons of abandoning an age-old method of tracking character progression?  How do these systems reinforce or undermine the aims of your table?
EP 41 Dungeons

EP 41 Dungeons

2022-12-0951:41

It's half the damn name after all... so why are dungeons so important, and how has their role changed as the editions have come and gone.
You know the old advice.  You've probably heard it a thousand times.  "Never split the party."  We're sitting down to challenge that advice.
There are tons of options in the D&D landscape.  Races, classes, feats, abilities.  The choices that stand before us are almost limitless.  Or are they?  We're discussing the illusion of choice in D&D.
There's no question that technology shapes our world, and D&D is no exception.  While virtual environments offer many benefits, what do we lose as we take our games from real tabletops and into the virtual world.
EP 35 High-Tier Play

EP 35 High-Tier Play

2022-11-0153:07

High tier play in Dungeons and Dragons has garnered a bad reputation.  We're sitting down to examine if it deserves all the derision.
EP 34 Mid-Tier Play

EP 34 Mid-Tier Play

2022-10-2153:11

So, you've made a name for yourself as an adventurer and you're asking, "What now?"  Well... Mid-tier play... that's what.
EP 33 Low-Tier Play

EP 33 Low-Tier Play

2022-10-1643:48

Ahh, to be young again... Kicking off our series on the Tiers of Play, we're talking about low tier play and some of the benefits and challenges it presents.
In D&D it can be tough to delineate between what we know as players and what our characters know.  How well we maintain that barrier can have a huge influence at our tables and how we disseminate that information as DMs can make all the difference.
EP 31 Player Death

EP 31 Player Death

2022-09-3048:51

It's true, sooner or later we all meet our end.  At the D&D table this doesn't have the end.  We failed one too many death saves this week, so let's make the most of it.
Okay, we'll admit it.  Lately we've been a little hard on 5e.  We've talked a lot about the things we'd change, tweak, add or remove.  Yet here we are, still rolling dice and telling stories beneath her beautiful banner.  The fact is there are plenty of reasons that we call 5e home.  Let's talk about 'em.
EP 28 Alignment

EP 28 Alignment

2022-09-0956:39

Lawful good?  Chaotic evil?  Labels are sooo 1990.  Let's take a peek at alignment in D&D and talk about how it's impacting our characters and worlds.
With the announcement of One D&D, we decided it was time to sit down and talk about the future of this hobby we love so much.
