Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/08/14

Today, or whenever you are listening to this, we discuss our GM styles in relation to our session prep styles. Hopefully we explain our styles well enough that you can pick little learning nuggets out, because we accidentally forgot to do that for you…(double shrug) www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours

2HGM 97: TORG Drama Cards

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/07/31

We have threatened it for years and the dreaded day is here. We get all in the guts of the Drama Cards used in TORG, a very cool TTRPG mechanic. They have a lot of good stuff to pull out for your own games, we did get a little too excited so we might not have done a fantastic job of highlighting the lessons.

2HGM 97: Inspiration, Radiance, Pushing

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/07/17

We discuss a common game mechanic of giving the player a better chance of succeeding with a roll. By giving the player extra bonus dice, or a re-roll, the GM can help tell the player what they are doing is cool. Confused? Better listen to the whole episode. www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours

2HGM 96: Over Analyzing

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/07/03

We have been doing this podcast for long enough that we are really good at picking out things that need improvement, good news right? Not really, we have trained our brains to focus on the negative which has kinda zapped the joy out of our beloved hobby. Don’t worry though because there is nothing that can be done…wait you said there is “NOT nothing” that can be done, well double negatives are always confusing… www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours

2HGM 94: TNT Sticking the Landing

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/06/05

From movies, to books, to TTRPGs, wrapping up a story in a satisfying way can be a bit tricky. TTRPG campaigns can sometimes go on for years, finally ending it might seem daunting, but don’t worry we have some TNT for you.

2HGM 92: Lore and Canon w/ Guest (surprise)

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/05/08

You might be thinking that “lore” is the same thing as “canon”, but you know our pedantic asses will prove you wrong. Now we might not have nailed the terminology, but we are fairly confident there are two different concepts that need different terms. We also apply it to popular TTRPGs or whatever… www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours

2HGM 91: Lie Detection Fallacy

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/04/24

Is it worse to believe everything is a lie or nothing is? Wait, that is not the James Earl Jones quote… Ha I was deceiving you the whole time. Anyways, we discuss what we think is a common fallacy in roleplaying, a player asking if an NPC is lying. Although it is possible that NPCs can lie, in the RL people don’t go around asking if every person asking for help is lying. In a roleplaying game, lie detection becomes more of 'meta game theory' and therefore shouldn’t be decided by

2HGM 90: Complex Mechanics

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/04/10

Creating supplemental rules for your TTRPG can be a way to help simulate a unique idea or situation, and it can be fun to attach a system of rolls to something. However, if you are like us it can be easy to go off book for every little thing and before you know it character sheets are covered in sticky notes. Then GMs and Players alike have trouble remembering how the novel mechanics for that cool weapon or animal companion work www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The

2HGM 89: TNT RPG Resource Management

Two-Headed Game Master ·

2024/03/20

What does food and being cold have in common? If you were waiting for a punchline, keep waiting. Answer: they are RPG resources. Different game systems put emphasis on different resources but keeping track of them can be challenging. Today’s episode is brought to you by the fun police, if keeping track of a resource isn’t fun -> don’t do it. There I just saved you an hour of your time… www.2HGM.com Music: Pondhillow's Finest, The Burning Saviours
