Duration: 8:59
Handling PVP or CvC in Dungeons and Dragons is a really tricky, slippery slope of upset players and frustrated DMs. Personally I have a hardline of zero pvp in my games. What are your thoughts on PvP has it gone well? Te…

Why Going Off-Script In DnD Is Not Always Bad [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

Duration: 10:51
How quickly the roll of the dice can turn a villain into an inconsequential bump in the road. These are the best damn moments. A DM can’t plan for this, player’s can’t predict it. That’s the beauty of it. We aren’t playi…
