Step into the ashes of a fallen world in this Lore Episode for Campaign 3: Crownfall, narrated by Matt, your Dungeon Master. Before the heroes of this campaign ever take their first steps, this episode unveils the catastrophic events that transformed the realm of Avarinth into a fractured, war-torn landscape teetering on the edge of collapse.Discover the ancient conflict with the Void Tyrant, the rise of Issarok the Blood Howler, and the gnoll hordes that now ravage the land. Learn how the fall of the Rose Citadel reshaped the continent, how the gods were forced to look away, and how an archmage's desperate ritual tore open a reality-breaking rift—an anomaly that hums, breathes, and casts no shadow.Matt also reveals the survival-focused tone of Crownfall: a Last-of-Us-style dystopian world fused with Stranger Things-like otherworldly mystery. Expect new house rules, new types of light, limited safe havens, and a constant sense of danger as players navigate both the devastated overworld and the unknown horrors within the rift.If you're new to Twenty Sides or preparing to dive into Crownfall, this episode gives you everything you need to understand the stakes, the setting, and the world's descent into darkness.Subscribe, follow, and prepare—Crownfall begins soon, and survival is not guaranteed.Want more Twenty Sides?

Every tabletop RPG player has had this thought at some point: "If I had one Wish, I could fix everything." And every Dungeon Master has had the immediate follow-up thought: "If you cast Wish, I'm fixing you." In this episode, the RPGBOT crew tackles the most powerful spell in the game—the one that can rewrite reality, end campaigns, summon divine attention, and turn a carefully planned epic into a rules argument that lasts longer than combat at level 17. Whether you're wishing for ultimate power, infinite gold, or just a snack because the barbarian is bored, we're here to explain how Wish actually works… and why your DM is already sweating. Wish is the most powerful spell in tabletop roleplaying games—and one of the most dangerous. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we break down how Wish works across Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e, D&D 5e (2014 and 2024), Pathfinder 1e, and Pathfinder 2e, including its lore, mechanics, exploits, and why so many Game Masters fear it. We explore how Wish can replicate spells, rewrite reality, override divine power, and derail entire campaigns if mishandled. The discussion covers infamous loopholes like simulacrum chains, genie-granted wishes, ritual casting in Pathfinder 2e, and why Wish is often the reason high-level campaigns fall apart. Finally, we offer practical GM advice for handling Wish without ruining your game—whether you want it as a campaign capstone, a narrative ritual, or a controlled tool of world-changing magic. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts take an in-depth look at Wish, the iconic reality-altering spell that defines high-level play in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. Often called the most powerful spell ever printed, Wish allows characters to replicate spells, heal allies, undo actions, reshape the world, and even challenge the gods themselves—at a steep narrative and mechanical cost. The episode begins with the lore of Wish, including its emergence after the fall of Netheril and its relationship to lost 10th-level magic. The hosts then compare how Wish functions mechanically across editions, from the expensive, tightly worded versions in D&D 3.5e and Pathfinder 1e, to the flexible but risky spellcasting in D&D 5e, and finally the radically redesigned Pathfinder 2e Wish ritual, which introduces casting time, interference, ritual checks, and failure states. A major focus is why Wish is so controversial for Game Masters. The discussion covers campaign-breaking outcomes, narrative paradoxes, infamous exploits like infinite simulacrum armies, and why many tables restrict or ban the spell outright. The hosts also examine genie-granted wishes, highlighting how Pathfinder 2e adds unique wish interpretations based on genie type—ranging from diplomatic and literal to malicious and destabilizing. The episode concludes with practical GM advice on how to handle Wish responsibly: limiting it to core effects, telegraphing consequences, using rituals instead of instant casting, and reframing Wish as a dramatic story event rather than an "I win" button. Key Takeaways Wish is widely considered the most powerful spell in tabletop RPGs, capable of rewriting reality itself. Different systems handle Wish very differently, with Pathfinder 2e's ritual system offering the strongest structural safeguards. In D&D 5e, spell duplication is the safest use of Wish; creative uses risk permanent loss of the spell. Wish is a major reason many GMs avoid or limit high-level campaigns. Genie-granted wishes introduce flavorful but dangerous interpretations, especially in Pathfinder 2e. Successful use of Wish requires clear GM communication, narrative foreshadowing, and player trust.

Every Game Master eventually faces a moment where they need to say “no” — whether it's to a rules-breaking request, a tone-shifting idea, or behavior that risks the fun at the table. But saying no doesn't have to feel confrontational or kill creativity. In this episode of The Bearded Nerd Podcast, Brian breaks down when a GM should say no, why it matters, and how to do it in a way that protects the game and keeps players engaged. This episode focuses on setting healthy boundaries, making confident rulings, and maintaining table authority without becoming the “fun police.” What You'll Learn Why saying no is one of a GM's most important tools Situations where saying yes causes long-term problems How to phrase rulings so players feel heard and respected Techniques for redirecting ideas instead of shutting them down How consistency builds trust and table confidence Whether you're a new GM or a seasoned Dungeon Master, this episode will help you protect your table, your story, and your sanity — without sacrificing fun.

Then inadvertently wake an Ettin as Li'High communicates from the cliff that she wants K'thriss to join her. He tries to talk her down when another voice declares ownership of Li'High, and she disappears. The heroes do their best to track her to no avail. They decide to return and bury the corpse of Boros. Back at the caravan, Gunner notices one of the cultists recognizes him, and then points to a bracelet that a child has. Seemingly trying to start a problem, the cultists were let down as the heroes politely reclaim the bracelet and pay the travelers for it. That night, the cultists try to kill the party, but K'thriss informs on them, and the heroes overcome them. This does, however, create a problem. If they are known to be in the caravan still, the cultists might continue assassination attempts, alternatively, it also may blow up K'thriss' position. They decide to stay out of the caravan and follow to Witdel. Now at the town, a new hero joins the caravan, a Kagonesti paladin, a female gnome, and a male human with red tattoos he seems to be covering up on his head. This human joins the cultists caravan, and the gnome Jamna Gleamsilver offers to work with the heroes and the new Paladin, then a dead cultist body is found and the caravan, now under way to the next destination, is once again, in an upheaval.

Have you ever wished you could travel back in time, wield 10th-level spells, and tell ancient archmages that "no seriously, this is definitely going to end badly"? Well congratulations, this episode is for you! Today we explore Netheril's majestic flying cities, magical decadence, and the absolute worst urban-planning decision ever: putting time portals in extremely obvious places. Grab your arcane seatbelts; gravity is optional. RPGBOT Video Reviews on YouTube Heads-up, adventurers! RPGBOT review episodes may soon begin appearing in full video on YouTube. If you've ever wanted to see our horrified facial expressions while discussing Netheril's magical OSHA violations—this might be your moment. More information coming soon! Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts dive deep into Netheril's Fall, the newest official supplement set during the height (and imminent collapse) of the ancient Netherese Empire. The cast explores Netheril's lore, the rise of magical elitism, the role of 10th-level spells, and the unique position this supplement occupies as mainly a Dungeon Master resource rather than a player-option book. The crew also discusses the magical decadence of flying cities, the oppressive social structure of the High Netherese vs Low Netherese, and introduces magical anomalies that shape how DMs can run Netheril-era adventures. Meanwhile, Tyler, Randall, and Ash debate the biggest question: Should Netheril EVER be saved? Or is this empire truly doomed? Finally, the hosts explore the controversial time-gate mechanics that enable PCs to visit this legendary era. Is this an exciting campaign hook, or a plot hole the size of a mythallar? (Spoiler: opinions are strong.) Key Takeaways Netheril's Fall provides primarily DM-focused content, not player options The supplement covers flying cities, magical aristocracy, and Netherese history Time-travel mechanics are interesting—but potentially world-breaking for campaigns Magical anomalies and arcane hazards add unique adventure hooks Adventures include encounters in both floating cities and ground-level Nethereese settlements Strong lore content connects directly to Forgotten Realms history, Baldur's Gate 3, and classic D&D themes The supplement works best if treated as a mini-campaign or one-shot instead of long-term setting Join the RPGBOT Patreon Want even more deep-dive analysis, lore breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes discussions like this one?

Welcome to Dungeon Mastering 101, my Dungeon Mastering course based on over 30 years of experience. In this series I will share my failures and successes and the lessons learned along the way. In this episode, I will cover Tools & Techniques. Freeing your attention so you can focus on the players. https://youtube.com/live/1qubh7qpd-M Show Notes Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga, Dungeon Mastering 101 episode! It is Palast, Frostkolt the 22nd, my name is Adam, and today I am continuing my Dragonlance Gaming series all about Dungeon Mastering. Today we are going to discuss freeing your attention so you can focus on the players in this Tools & Techniques episode. Don't forget to like and subscribe to this channel, ring the bell, and you can support this channel by becoming a Patron on Patreon, a Member of this YouTube channel, and you can pick up Dragonlance media, using my affiliate links in the description below. Discussion Core Idea: Tools Exist to Reduce Cognitive Load Every tool you use as a Dungeon Master should serve one purpose: freeing your attention so you can focus on the players. Tools are not there to make the game more complex or impressive. They exist to help you: think less decide faster react more clearly If a tool pulls your attention away from the table, it is not helping you. Principle 1 — Simplicity Beats Cleverness The best tools are easy to remember and fast to apply. Complex systems increase hesitation and slow momentum. A tool that works most of the time is better than one that works perfectly but rarely gets used. Your brain is already busy. Choose tools that respect that reality. Principle 2 — Tools Support Judgment, They Don't Replace It No checklist can replace awareness of table energy. Tools give you structure; you provide discernment. Use tools as scaffolding, not autopilot. A good DM knows when to follow a tool — and when to ignore it. Principle 3 — Momentum Is the Highest Priority Any technique that halts play for long explanations or searching is costing you engagement. Fast rulings, even imperfect ones, maintain immersion. Tools should help you keep the game moving forward. Flow matters more than precision. Principle 4 — Reusability Over Novelty Favor techniques you can use in: combat social scenes exploration downtime Reusable tools reduce prep time and increase confidence. If you can apply it everywhere, it belongs in your toolkit. Core DM Tools & Techniques The 40 / 30 / 30 Prep Rule 40%: situations and conflicts 30%: NPCs, locations, and factions 30%: flexible space for improvisation Prep for possibility, not control. The Encounter Skeleton Every encounter should have: an objective a hook escalating tension a clear exit This structure works for any type of scene. The “Yes, But…” Technique Encourages creativity without removing consequences. Keeps player agency intact. Prevents dead ends. “Yes” keeps the game alive. “But” keeps it interesting. The Three-Question Improv Tool When unsure, ask: What is the most likely outcome? What is the most interesting outcome? What is the most character-driven outcome? Choose based on the needs of the moment. The Spotlight Tracker (Mental or Physical) Notice who has spoken recently. Actively bring quieter players into scenes. Gently limit over-dominant voices. Balance creates trust. The Reincorporation Rule If players fixate on something, bring it back later. It creates the illusion of deep planning. It rewards curiosity. Interest is a signal. Follow it. Principle 5 — Tools for Managing Table Energy Adjust tone, pacing, or stakes when energy dips. Call breaks before burnout sets in. Change scene type to reset attention. A skilled DM manages people first, mechanics second. Principle 6 — Tools Should Be Invisible to Players The best techniques feel natural at the table. Avoid explaining your process mid-session. Let players experience outcomes, not mechanics. Immersion increases when the tools stay behind the screen. Summary Takeaway Tools and techniques are not about mastery — they are about support. They help you: stay present make faster decisions preserve momentum share the spotlight reduce stress When used well, tools disappear, and what remains is a smooth, engaging, human experience. That is the goal of Dungeon Mastering 101. Outro And that's it for this episode of Dungeon Mastering 101, Tools & Techniques! Do you have any tools and techniques you would like to share?

Welcome to Dungeon Mastering 101, my Dungeon Mastering course based on over 30 years of experience. In this series I will share my failures and successes and the lessons learned along the way. In this episode, I will cover World and Lore. Making the Setting Work at the Table. https://youtube.com/live/Y8veKOutkaE Show Notes: Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga, Dungeon Mastering 101 episode! It is Palast, Frostkolt the 15th, my name is Adam, and today I am continuing my Dragonlance Gaming series all about Dungeon Mastering. Today we are going to discuss Making the Setting Work at the Table in this World & Lore episode.

Discussion Core Idea: Worldbuilding Exists to Serve Play Worlds are not built to be admired — they are built to be used. Lore that does not influence player decisions, emotions, or consequences is decorative at best and distracting at worst. A Dungeon Master's goal is not to explain the world, but to make the world felt through action. Principle 1 — Lore Is a Tool, Not a Lecture Players rarely engage with lore when it is delivered as exposition. Information becomes meaningful only when it answers a question the players already care about. Effective lore: explains danger justifies opportunity reveals consequence deepens choice If lore does not change how players act, it has arrived too early or too late. Principle 2 — Show the World Through Lived Experience The fastest way to communicate lore is through: cultural habits social rules taboos fear pride A single custom can communicate more than a page of history. Players learn a setting by surviving in it, not by being told about it. Principle 3 — Locations Are Characters Every meaningful location should have: desires fears internal tension Ask three questions about any place: What does this place want? What does it fear? Where can it be pressured or changed? A location that does not react to player actions is not alive yet. Principle 4 — Power Shapes the World Lore emerges from who holds power and who wants it. Cities, kingdoms, temples, guilds, and cabals exist because someone benefits from them. Show power through: who enforces laws who is protected who is punished who is ignored Players understand the world when they see how authority is applied. Principle 5 — Factions Drive Motion A world without active factions is static. Factions should: pursue goals off-screen react to player interference clash with each other Good factions are defined by beliefs and methods, not alignments. Conflict creates story even when the players are not present. Principle 6 — Truth Is Fragmented and Biased No NPC should possess complete or objective truth. Lore is shaped by: perspective propaganda ignorance self-interest Contradictory accounts create mystery and engagement. History should feel debated, not settled. Principle 7 — Environmental Storytelling Is King Ruins, scars, monuments, banners, songs, and relics all tell stories. Let players infer meaning rather than receive confirmation. Mystery invites exploration. If players ask follow-up questions, the lore is working. Practical Tools for World & Lore at the Table The One-Sentence Rule Any piece of lore should be deliverable in one sentence during play. Additional detail comes later — only if requested. The Relevance Test Before sharing lore, ask: “Will this affect a player decision in the next 10 minutes?” The Three-Faction Shortcut For any region, create: one faction in power one faction that wants power one faction that benefits from chaos This guarantees tension. Summary Takeaway World & lore are not about depth — they are about pressure. A good setting pushes back when players act. A great setting remembers. When lore becomes experiential, locations become reactive, and factions pursue goals independently… your world stops being a backdrop and starts being a participant. That is when players stop asking, “Where are we?”…and start asking, “What happens if we do this?” Outro And that's it for this episode of Dungeon Mastering 101, World and Lore!

Then inadvertently wake an Ettin as Li'High communicates from the cliff that she wants K'thriss to join her. He tries to talk her down when another voice declares ownership of Li'High, and she disappears. The heroes do their best to track her to no avail. They decide to return and bury the corpse of Boros. Back at the caravan, Gunner notices one of the cultists recognizes him, and then points to a bracelet that a child has. Seemingly trying to start a problem, the cultists were let down as the heroes politely reclaim the bracelet and pay the travelers for it. That night, the cultists try to kill the party, but K'thriss informs on them, and the heroes overcome them. This does, however, create a problem. If they are known to be in the caravan still, the cultists might continue assassination attempts, alternatively, it also may blow up K'thriss' position. They decide to stay out of the caravan and follow to Witdel. Now at the town, a new hero joins the caravan, a Kagonesti paladin, a female gnome, and a male human with red tattoos he seems to be covering up on his head. This human joins the cultists caravan, and the gnome Jamna Gleamsilver offers to work with the heroes and the new Paladin, then a dead cultist body is found and the caravan, now under way to the next destination, it once again, in an upheaval.
