DoubleDM ·

DoubleDM ·

2025/09/15

In today's episode, we discuss Crafting Systems in TTRPGs, D&D especially, and why... they just don't work... or at least why they don't really work well. We discuss what it means to add crafting to D&D and what you would need to do to make it fun.We discuss it in proxy for all other TTRPG Systems too, and often come to the conclusion that crafting needs to either be a crucial mechanic to the game or just an afterthought to round your game off, and then it's often just not discussed cause it

All Paths Lead to Rome

DoubleDM ·

2025/09/08

Today we talk about Game Mastering, what a surprise, and a special way of Game Mastering, that we dubbed "All Paths Lead to Rome" wherein gamemasters lead their players to the right outcome all the time and make sure they arrive there together.This provides some problems if done excessively, in moderation, this is not bad practice, but if done too much, it can quickly lead to a stale game where creativity is stifled, so how do we stop ourselves from GMing like that?Check here for all further

DoubleDM ·

2025/06/02

Some times we need our TTRPG players to deal with an issue immediately... and we need to put pressure on them inside of the game, but how do we even do that? Making an Issue and Situation urgent for resolution by adding Limits and Timers is a great way to put pressure on the players and their characters!!Today we talk about exactly that and how you can master urgency to create a crunch but not too much of it... we always want to have a bit of extra time for roleplay and shenanigans, but still keep

DoubleDM ·

2025/05/26

Characters in Video Games are tools to enjoy the game and some people enjoy killing other characters, that is what is usually called PvP in Gaming but is that true for TTRPGs? Yes and No. The Player Characters can still fight each other but in TTRPGs like D&D this can also mean so much more. As we immerse ourselves in these characters we can play out verbal arguments, confrontations and yes also physical fights.But PvP needs to be done right, if not it can lead to big problems around the table

TTRPG Characters, especially D&D characters, should win and overcome most of the challenges and threats you put in front of them. There is fun in being the winner and succeeding. But failure is important too!! We need to have setbacks, failures, and losses so that our players can grow, learn, and play out these fun and exciting situations!!But how do we navigate the players failing, how often should they fail, and what should failure look like without it feeling forced and wrong?

Character Development is an integral part of playing TTRPGs, we all come to the table to play a game using a character to tell a story. And in that story our character develops, changes and grows. But how do we make sure players feel comfortable developing their character?
