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.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.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/doubledmpod/?hl=de https://ko-fi.com/doubledmIf you want to reach out to us via E-Mail use: doubledmpod@gmail.comOur 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.

You've been roleplaying this slimeball of a merchant for 30 minutes. The Players are into the scene! They're listening to every word you say, looking at every facial expression you make, trying like hell to figure out if he's lying. You're roleplaying your ass off, giving an Oscar-worthy performance of a lifetime. They think he's lying….THEY KNOW HE'S LYING…and one player is just about to call him out on it when another player says “I roll an Insight check to see if he's lying. 25. Is he lying to us?” Where is the fun in that? Insight, persuasion deception, intimidation and all the other social skill checks take all the joy of human interaction out of your game.In this video I make the case that Insight, Persuasion, Deception, and Intimidation rolls are the single biggest reason your 5e D&D roleplay sessions feel hollow. We get into where these social skill checks came from, why old-school D&D never had them, and the simple fix you can try at your table this weekend that brings actual roleplaying back. If you've been a 5e DM long enough to feel that something's off about how social encounters resolve at your table, this one's for you.CHAPTERS:0:00 The Slimeball Merchant2:05 What Social Skills Do4:35 Engagement is a Requirement for FUN6:28 Try this in your Next GameIf you want to see what's coming next in the D&D game I'm building, my Patreon has all the work-in-progress: patreon.com/Joethelawyer
Recently, Matt Colville of the Running the Game YouTube series and author of the new Draw Steel TTRPG, discussed the concept of “DM Style.” With someone who has been involved in all things tabletop for over 40 years, you would think that he would believe in developing a DM Style. However, his hot take was that he wasn't sure there even was such a thing.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to discuss DM Style: Is it a thing and, if so, what are the things that make it up. Along the way, we discuss how to take all these lists and types of DM Styles and make them work for you in putting together a better game.2:55 The flip side of the coin to Episode 7: The Eight Player Types.3:22 The first issue with DM Style: It probably changes with the group you're running for.4:30 Lists can be helpful if they are prescriptive – not just descriptive.6:15 DM Style is a lot like Personality Tests: you're a mixture of all the different metrics that keeps changing.9:55 DM Tony takes some inspiration from his MBA Program “Back in the Day…”15:00 Management “styles” read more like DM Style metrics: Autocrat, Laissez-Faire, Democratic, Collaborative, Inspirational, Strategic, Results-Oriented.18:00 The idea of “DM Signature” as opposed to “DM Style.”20:00 These metrics, or dials, are always being adjusted – even in real-time during the game.22:15 DM Chris' 5 Metrics: Rules, Story Focus, Session Style, Prep, and Conversation Style.25:15 Does “DM Style” change with the system you're running?27:15 The DMs character: the World. We return to the 8 Player Types.37:07 “Are You Not Entertained?” Fun Gameplay supersedes rules, styles, and the like.40:45 Final Thoughts.
Are your players falling into a bit of a complacent rut? Are they playing the game almost on autopilot because it's playing out like so many adventures before? Well, it sounds like there isn't enough chaos in your game! A plot twist, a surprise combat addition, maybe even a literal rug pull in a dungeon that sends them to somewhere else entirely... whatever it is, make it purposeful, and make it common if you want to make your games chaotic and exciting again! So listen up as Tanner shares 4 tips that can change each aspect of the game in an unexpected way.

In this Episode Saul was reading a blog where they discussed the Three Different Pillars of D&D. Saul went on to read other sources from other bloggers to Reddit posts about this idea of what makes a good D&D Game. Saul starting thinking about how some games or genres don't rely on these Three Pillars for running great sessions or adventures. He discussed it quickly with Jolene who had never heard of this idea and they decided to record an episode on this topic. Thank you for listening!

Terrain. Maps. Minis. Music. Handouts. TTRPGs aren't movies and television and we can't rely on moving pictures to help immerse our players, so what are some ways that you can help the imagination Build This City in your players' minds?In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to revisit our discussion with The Wizard Washburn from Paper Terrain in Episode 112 about using and building terrain and minis but then also all the other ways to help you build the most immersive experience in your D&D game.3:50 Scenery and terrain should be used as an assist. It doesn't need to be extensive. 5:45 Just like anything else, you have to find what YOUR style is.7:30 Some of the examples of what we use, build, buy, and collect.15:00 All these tools don't run the game – you and the players do.18:00 Reusability with these tools is key.20:15 Something simple on the table helps to focus the players attention and provide more flavor.23:45 Tools beyond terrain, maps, and minis to enhance immersion: bring more senses into play.39:32 Final Thoughts.

Writing a very specific kind of game. Early access and bonus content on Patreon Subscribe to our monthly gaming newsletter Join the Discord Writing is hard. Josh and Brandon discuss the very specific kind of writing you have to do for a public/pick-up D&D game. It's a lot different than writing for a home game, but should it be? Obviously, folks should do what works best for them and their players, but there's definitely value in examining how you write for your home game. In this week's Patreon-exclusive GGP Deep Dive, they get into creative motivations and trouble that is getting from "I want to write this" to "I'm writing this."

Immersion in your D&D game. It's one of the most sought after and asked about topics in the whole DMing Multiverse. The real trick always lies in how well you can tie together all the seemingly disparate pieces of your group – characters, backstories, motivations, and adventures – into one cohesive, epic story.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave answer a listener question about how to best tie their characters into their newest campaign, Tomb of Annihilation, following the finale of their Curse of Strahd campaign. Along the way, we brainstorm how to tie these two adventures together into one large epic story. 4:02 We delve into what we thought the question really was… how do you tie Curse of Strahd and Tomb of Annihilation together?7:15 What to do with Curse of Strahd's Megaliths?8:00 Published material, like Curse of Strahd, is great fodder for ideas of how and where to tie characters into the story.9:10 The heavy lift of some published material, like Tomb of Annihilation, in hooking the characters into the story.11:05 Detailed backstories vs the blank slate as well as DM Tony's idea of “Reactive” backstories.15:20 Tying in the characters, backstories, motivations, and adventures in the same way as you plan your sessions… one session at a time.24:40 Providing the characters with stakes that really matter.26:15 Weak hooks with adventures that were meant to be from tournament modules and how we've tied characters in.29:25 Remembering the perspective of the characters, not the audience.32:00 Creating a one-sheet Campaign Guide (like Mike Shea's) to help players tie the characters in at creation.38:35 Final Thoughts.
