Episode 113 - Total Burnouts

Come along this week as we talk about deities and devils fighting for control, and players refusing to let go even when the grim reaper rears its ugly head. Also, crabs and curses!

Question(s) discussed:
1. What should I do if a player wants to multiclass Paladin and Warlock? Would their god be okay with the character having a patron, and vice-versa?

2. We recently had a character death in our campaign. Although that player has made a new character, another player is upset by the death and is now insisting that the party should go on a quest to resurrect the fallen PC, even if it derails the campaign. What should I do?

Episode 120 - Exit Strategy

We're back this week with a special guest- Will Hughes, writer for the AV Club and host of Everything to Guppy! With him along for the ride, we discuss losing abilities, reading books, and characters that show up when you least expect them.

Question(s) discussed:
1. Have you, or any players you’ve had, made choices that led to their background feature becoming nullified? (Such as a folk hero being shunned by their village, a criminal turning their back on the thieves' guild, etc.)

2. What are your thoughts on RPG gamebooks as literature? Have you ever read an adventure module or supplement book with no intention of playing it?

3. Do your characters have cameos in subsequent games?

Episode 121 - Turning A New Page

This week we talk about whether to do what your character would do, or what you would do (and not just as an excuse to be a jerk). Also, hiding from divinations and being saved by a bee?

Question(s) discussed:
1. What do you think about a character offering out of character opinions about what the party should do, when that opinion is contrary to what their character would want to do?

Episode 124 - Roleplaying Priorities

This week we're joined by Jake and Dan from Brute Force & Ignorance, and we discuss getting your players more involved- even when they're across the globe.

Question(s) discussed:
1. What would you say are the pros and cons of playing over the internet?

2. How should you handle it when a key player is going to be absent for an extended length of time?

3. How would you as an experinced DM/Player help new players, who by nature are really quiet, to roleplay more? I know that they want to, they are just very quiet.

Question(s) discussed:
1. Do you know anyone who has taken improv classes to improve their DMing? If so, was it worth it?
2. What are some unwritten customs that you have had in your gaming groups?

Episode 128 - Down by the Magic Tavern

Welcome back! This week, we talk about session length, taking breaks, and how to push yourself beyond what the rules allow without breaking the game.

Question(s) discussed:
1. What is the perfect DnD session length? When taking breaks during a session, how long/frequent should they be?
2. A player wants to use an ability in a way that it clearly was not intended (or possibly directly contrary to the rules). Aside from simply saying, "No," what is the best way to handle this?
