Why Worldbuilding is weird

DoubleDM ·

2025/03/03

Many TTRPG Rules have many weird aspects when you start thinking about their implications. Take the Immovable Rod from D&D. it says it's unaffected by gravity, so does that mean it stays affixed to that space while the planet is spinning? Or is your world a flat disk without any real space around it?This and more random little tidbits of information can make your world incredibly weird... And we are here to tell you: THAT'S GOOD!You can check out Nathan's Game Dream Investigators right here:

How to make Healing more Interesting in TTRPGs

DoubleDM ·

2025/01/20

Most TTRPGs have some form of damage, be it hit points, sanity, emotional damage or whatever. All these systems then also have something else... Healing! When there is damage you need to think about healing and recovering from said damage.But most of the time the healing feels... unengaging and more like a tacked-on necessity than an actual gameplay mechanic. That's not necessarily bad but let's think about how to make the healing more interesting!Check here for all further information:You can find

How long should your D&D Campaign be?

DoubleDM ·

2025/01/06

Campaign length (no not base building like i said in the recap) is something that we have talked about before but we wanted to discuss the topic again. So why does this even matter?TTRPGs, like D&D, are a time investment for players and GMs alike, knowing how long a campaign will be is a good way to know how much you should and can invest in said game. But you can't define the length strictly to 5 sessions or 2 chapters... you have to have playroom to let the freeform medium of ttrpgs bloom but

Do we need Base Building in TTRPGs?

DoubleDM ·

2024/12/02

Base Building is something that often feels lacking in TTRPGs, to me personally, why is that? It feels like it's there to be used but not ingrained into the core of the game so it just becomes a bonus add-on.But does it have to be that way? No it doesn't. In this episode Nils talks to us about Bases and we discuss their benefits and Emils problems with them to maybe find a better solution.Check here for all further information:You can find us on the Web under these Links:
