Description

Our hosts Joe and Matt were joined by frequent guest and DM for our Tavern Watch podcast, Phil Ulrich. Together they explored the storytelling aspect of TTRPGs. While they do enjoy the aspect of "math rocks go brrrr" TTRPGs bring to the table, the ability to tell a story collaboratively makes it more appealing to them than a typical game like Catan or Monopoly, though certainly both those games have their own stories to tell. We recount some of our favorite story beats from our own gameplay over the years, and discuss what using different systems like Daggerheart versus Pathfinder can lend to an epic adventure -- and an epic story.
