    The NPC Toolkit

    How do you build NPCs? One of the most central questions of running TTRPGs, but how do you answer it? The building of NPCs is very unique to the gamemaster you are, but there are some certain aspects of NPCs we all have to build but how do we build those aspects? Thats the NPC Toolkit, how do we build our NPCs to be used at our tables.

    "The Right Way" DM style

    There is no singular right way to Game Master, we said that for over 200 episodes already and this episode is no different. This episode is however about a Game Mastering Style we call "The Right Way" GMing. "The Right Way" is often defined by one singular path forward and the Game Master trying to bring their players to do exactly that... sometimes that can be a good thing, and sometimes its a really bad thing. So how do we make sure we don't fall into the bad pattern? thats what we discuss today and how you can identify the Style, change your game mastering and be more open to player ideas.

    How to get D&D players to play other games

    D&D is the golden standard of TTRPGs, but why is that? And is that even true? There are many other games, with very different mechanics and playstyles out there, so why do so many people play just D&D or mostly D&D? Well, that's what today's episode is for! We discuss the eternal struggle to get your players to play something else, how to do it right, and how to find new games to try. We also discuss why it's very important to do so, Check here for all further information: You can find us on the Web under these Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.doubledm.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://bsky.app/profile/doubledm.bsky.social https://www.instagram.com/doubledmpod/?hl=de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://ko-fi.com/doubledm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you want to reach out to us via E-Mail use: doubledmpod@gmail.com Our Midroll Music is "Midnight Tale" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Outro Music is "Ascending the Vale" Kevin MacLeod (imcompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosted on Acast.

    Preparing to run a Sandbox D&D Game

    Sandbox is a term often used to describe games and campaigns that are less narrated along a plot and story and much more focused on exploring a world with hidden treasrues, different people and interesting locations. But does that really work? And how do you prepare for that? That is what we are discussing today, Nils and Emil have both been thinking about running sandbox games and discuss how they would start preparing for one, running it from the beginning and what you need to keep in mind when doing so yourself.

    Backstory Tropes we love and hate

    Backstories dictate how your character acts, feels, and works. Of course, they're just stories that we tell in our little heads, but they're important. So let's talk about them, especially the tropes most backstories rely on. What tropes do you hate? What tropes do you love? Those are the questions we ask ourselves today. We discuss some tropes and why we love/hate them and what makes a good backstory trope and what makes a bad backstory.

    Solo TTRPGs - What can you learn from them for Groupplay?

    Today is all about Solo Journeling TTRPGs, how they play and what they feel like. And especially answering the question: What can we learn from them for our group based TTRPGs like D&D? What different aspects can show us how to run our games or are the different styles of gameplay so different that we should be seeing them as different mediums of storytelling and entertainment?

    Homebrew Content is (not) great

    Homebrew Content is a staple of the TTRPG/D&D Space. It makes our games greater and more interesting, but it sometimes can also mess with our games and destory them in ways we don't even realize at first, but how can we make sure Homebrew content will enrich our games like it supposed to? We discuss the place of cvustom content, why it doesn't work sometimes and why its such an important part of the games and is necessary in the games. We also talk about Balance and Banning content from your games and why thats a good idea or not.

    Why Your D&D Games should be moving quicker

    Progression in terms of TTRPGs is hard to define, but to us its generally the feeling of moving the game forward and keeping it engaging and interesting by always having something prepared to throw at your players. But how do you even manage that? How do you know when to throw the next plot point out there? How do you manage so many different plot points at once?
