    Hot Takes

    This week we polled our discord for their "hot takes" on things in the TTRPG world. This could be anything from system design, acceptance of rules, homebrew, anything at all. And we were delighted by the number of responses we received. Sara and I are thrilled to go through each and everyone one, and either stand fast with you or plunge a dagger of detest in your opinions cold dead heart. After all "we have a microphone and you don't". In all seriousness, we support and encourage our community opinions and ideas. Everyone's table and storytelling style is different. So come listen to how the other half lives, plays, and their "hot takes"   Listen to us live, every Wednesday night at 7pm EST, at http://www.mixlr.com/storyteller-conclave.

    Table Lingo

    TTRPGs often have their own lexicon of terms we need to learn to engage with the game, with terms like "THAC0" and "Benny" to describe the mechanics. The in-game world can often have unique terms as well, with "Netrunners sporting some preem chrome" instead of "Hackers with excellent cyberware" This week, Sara & Rob discuss the unique lingo tossed around at the table, and how to use it to make games more immersive, while still being accessible.

    Dessert in Storytelling

    Not every session needs to be about the plot. Sometimes your characters need to see what makes life worth living, talk to other NPCs, or simply just fool around. This week, Sara and Rob will be addressing the moments in stories when players and storytellers can sit back and have some light hearted fun. Listen in as they discuss the Desserts in Storytelling.

    Game systems that we would love to see

    Special Note: This show had some audio issues, the opening is a bit different due to this. We are sorry. After 5 years of system spotlights, Sara and Rob have seen a ton of different settings and themes for games. But this just opened the door to focused themes and ideas that they have never seen, but probably exist somewhere. This week they will talk about systems, themes, and styles that they would like to see in the TTRPG space and perhaps some mechanics that can bring them to life!

    Is D&D Hurting the Hobby?

    A frequent rant of Sara’s has been about the damage that D&D has done to the gaming community.
