Sometimes the brainteaser you planned does more than tease, other times it doesn’t even register, it can be hard to nail the perfect puzzle in your TTRPG. We may not have the answer but that doesn’t stop us from talking like we do. www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours

We grew an extra two heads, which brings the total count to four.

Two game-masters walk into a bar… actually it is only one, but they have two heads! (laugh here) That was a funny joke, no? We discuss humor in the hobby. Starting with the high production professional entertainment shows but then applying it to the amature scene (us). www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours
You asked for it, so here it is: another episode about the text role-playing the sickos at 2HGM do because once a week role-playing is not enough. We also meander into talking about telling a good story, stats and failure too… so it is not a totally skippable episode… www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours
Time… yesterday, tomorrow, next year…At some point you will listen to all the words in this episode so why put it off? And now that you’ve already listened to this episode, I don’t need to write a description. Is your noodle twisted yet? www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours
Solo RPG existed long before we started this podcast, but if you never heard of them did they really tho? Wonder no longer, cuz after this episode you will know all about Solo RPGs.

When a fun activity gets stale, what do you do? Introduce a new toy ;p …For serious tho, if you ever feel stuck as a game master or maybe bored as a player, it might be time for a change.

Optimizing your character for your play style during the creation process just takes a little thought… Or don’t listen to the haters (i.e. us), and you do you queen. But if you’re sickos like us you may want to squeeze every last drop of fun out of the hobby by thinking about how a character’s stats change the way you play them. www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours
