    S6E41: The Thirteen Keys Applied to TTRPGs

    This week, Adam and Tiana take a tool from politics and political coverage to talk about the best predictors for the survival of a TTRPG table. Because while we do our best to stay away from national politics, we do agree that there are politics inherent in table dynamics, and we want to give our listeners every chance to stack the deck in their favor.

    S6E40: How to Make BBEGs Not (Immediately) Explode

    This week, Adam and Tiana talk about Big Bad Evil Guys and how to make them feel appropriately dangerous and scary. We've all been there: you spend a campaign building up to the BBEG, and then when you get into the final fight, they go down like a tower of cards in the first few rounds. How do we make that not happen? Let's talk about it! To watch the Death Campaign live: https://www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen Join the Discord! https://discord.gg/gYSp3vcrqs

    S6E39: The Second Secret Ingredient

    This week, Adam and Tiana introduce the second secret ingredient. We've talked about it before in passing, but this time, we dive deep into why curiosity is the second secret ingredient and how it can elevate your games. Be curious, not judgmental.

    S6E38: Lessons Learned

    This week, Adam and Tiana talk about the lessons Adam learned from running two different sessions of Death: one on Friday for a private group of Patrons, and one on Tuesday for the livestream crew. No matter how long we've been playing or GMing, there's always something new to learn if we're willing to dig in!

    S6E37: Redesigning the Ranger

    This week, Adam and Tiana dive into a rewrite of the Ranger player class that Adam's been working on. The goal is to design to the Ranger fantasy, without being overly reactive to the 2024 changes to the class. The Google Doc with the rewritten class: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gCHFMjrHrnmmdlVeOJqFGaYVbxNY4flfQz-EeBcPlAE/edit?usp=sharing To watch the Death Campaign live: https://www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen Join the Discord! https://discord.gg/gYSp3vcrqs

    S6E36: A Check-In on Death

    This week, Adam and Tiana take a break from talking about the mechanics to talk about games currently in progress: the Death Campaign, currently playing out as a streamed game on Tiana's channel and two Patron games on Discord. We discuss the philosophies being explored, Sir Terry Pratchett gets a moment in the spotlight, and we talk about where the games are going from here.
