As to your last, batshit suggestion: the Ironsworn family of games actually has a game mechanic for resolving a fight in a single roll. It ain't that crazy!

Going thru the back catalog - this is one of my favorites

Daddy Rolled a 1 is a great guy

hello im listening from Maryland, and could you do an episode on how to keep control on a game with unruly players and or one on aberrations?

Vital info for DMs old and new!

Love CoF Dave has done something really special.

Crucible of Fate, a game where people have to fight for the right to destroy the Material Plane. But also, where people bond, friendships are made, and tears are shed. It's an incredible space.

Every episode gets better and better. ...and that's a fact! (Thud thud thud) General Bludblud (ep4) enters with a peg leg limp and straightens up despite his hunchback. "Do yerself a favor..." His voice is rough, his half-orc accent thick. "Watch Crucible of fate. It will rock your world!"

The mix between D&D and collaborative storytelling, plus the highlight on player versus player interaction, is a true talent as a DM! I listened to CoF as a viewer first, and then curiosity got the best of me and I applied to play! Honestly one of the best games I've had an opportunity to play. Glad to get this perspective half way through Round One!

Wow! You exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the research you did that went into this episode - valuable in-game and out! And I like your conclusion for GM's to make the best ruling they can based on the ruleset, and that it's OK for your players to respectfully make their point so long as they also respect the GM's final call so the game can move on. And great advice that you can always continue the discussion out of game and between sessions, and make house rules to suit your players and your game. Regarding the topic, this really helped me to refocus on keeping things simple in relation to how fire works in-game, and a timely reminder that the game world is not the real world. Well played! 👏

It is absolutely your choice to "wait and see" but I think that you will be left behind in the exodus. As a neutral observer who has never played TTRPG and only has an interest through CRPG's I have found this entire debacle very interesting, saddening and rather predictable. Current execs at WotC (from backgrounds such as Microsoft and Amazon) are used to dictating terms to their customers due to effective market monopolies and they are trying to do this in an arena where although they are by far the biggest player they are by no means the only one. Not only that but the foundation on which their company is based has been declared as "open" by the OGL and they cannot claim exclusive rights to the game system itself. They are simply trying to strongarm third parties into giving them more power and more money. The writing is on the wall for the OGL as even if WotC row back a bit this time their intended future course is now totally clear to all concerned. It is only a matter of time before they think that the dust has settled and they can have another go, maybe by a more stealthy approach. In the meantime, as they say in politics, when the herd moves it moves! There is currently a mad scramble to break away from all things WotC and I think that the reason more people have not unsubscribed from the D&D Beyond platform so far (apart from the website 'hiding' the unsubscribe button!) is that they need to export their content first and may be looking for a suitable alternative. Although a number of creators have declared their intention to produce their own license structures I suspect that in the end they will all sign on to the ORC license being set up by Paizo. This episode has been the catalyst for a tectonic shift in the fantasy RPG world as it now had the impetus to break away from the controlling influence of WotC. Much like computing arena where Open Standards, Open Software and now, with RISC-V, Open Hardware give people the opportunity to dump the established monopolies the end result will only be better for the fantasy RPG community as a whole.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I just discovered your contend. You are damn good at this, so I hope that you catch on, if you haven't already on other platforms.

I really enjoyed this episode, and some great advice. I have always wanted to try and GM at a con but never made the time nor summoned up the courage I guess. There was so much gold in this podcast. I particularly liked your advice on having pregens (critical) and GMs not cramming too much into the session (KISS). I've played in a number of convention games where the latter was particularly telling, and pretty much the 5min warning from the organisers came up and then the GM pretty much just narrates/wraps up everything, which is very unfulfilling. The number of players is also key. If there are more than 4 player spots available I generally don't sign up because 5-6 players is just too many to give everyone a go and get everything done. Also great to hear the surgery went well and you are on the mend. Cheers

Ayyy, glad to see this with the correct audio now. Looking forward to this one since our campaign has had a little bit of this from our magus and monk collecting trophies from impressive fights.

Damn, I want the experience points and some of that roast pork shoulder too.

I've been greatly enjoying the degrees of success for pf2e in the campaign I'm in. It took a couple sessions to get used to, but it just makes sense now. And the +10/-10 for actual crits just seems natural (no pun intended). The lizard part of my brain just really likes seeing all the dice fly when my rogue gets a crit, cause its not just weapon crit effects, its property rune effects too. Clicker-clack go the dice, snicker-snack go the enemies.

you didn't go too far into pf2e so wanted to add that pf2e has the vaulentary flaw system. where you take tow ability flaws and get a free ability boost to customize your character even more. I also wouldn't say that the races in 5e are cosmetic, they still get their racial abilities(gnome's magic resistance, halfling's luck, and so on) I haven't played 5e much but when I heard tasha aome out, I became worried that the customization would break the game even more allowing for more power builds and frustrating gms at even earlier levels. no clue how it's been going since then.

The summoner in out current pf2e game has been absolutely game changing in a bunch of fights so far. Having extra action economy on demand in addition to another body on the field? 👌

Didn't get a chance to comment on the last video cause I was on vacation when I watched it, but personally, I have no issues with the episodes going over 20 minutes.

Damn that’s some tough love growing up!🔥As someone wiser than me once said ‘Never let religion get in the way of a good story’… and yes, oh how the RPG worm has turned 🎲 … ok, if I could have my time again, I’d have kept all my early RPGs and Dragon magazines 😓 … ah, the frivolity of youth

Darkest Dungeon is one of the meanest games ever, and Wayne June has the best voice, pretty much bar none.

Give us more about the Blood Wars!

Huzzah!

Oh yes! Been hanging out for this episode! Lots of great 'work-smarter' tips. Thanks Jeremy and keep up the great work!

ooooh, i love the idea of the Succubus being the real power behind the Big Bad

Great episode! I'm just about to start a new campaign and I'm glad I heard this first.

Just found you on here, and conveniently, I'm using a Mind Flayer as my initial BBEG in my campaign. Thanks for the help!

Yes! Learn from the best. Great advise for life in general.

Well said!
