Episode 152 Streamed Live Tuesday, August 15, 2023 Special Guests DM Blackwall and DM Nate Horde Wars Basic is available on BGE Campaign Analysis: So, you all meet in a bar. Should Pcs be generated together (“session zero”) or individually/separately? Should the Pcs know each other? Many ways to start a campaign (the first adventure): In a tavern with a mysterious stranger. Hired as Caravan guards. In media res. Mission Impossible- your mission if you choose to accept it. No reason. Module or homebrew…just begin. Full sandbox: players choose their starting place and see if the PCs meet up, maybe via some sort of event? Jazzing up these beginnings: Mysterious meeting with hermit sage outside the city. PCs are mercenaries on a merchant ship defending against Pirates. PCs are the only survivors of a battle on a hilltop. PCs begin at the entrance of … (insert module or adventure) PCs are lead to an alchemist who turns out dead ... D&D Weirdness: Randomness Why are we in the RPG sphere so attached to randomness?The need for some element of failure/successThe random elementbrings excitement. Removes arbitrary choices.Combining success/failure with severity of effect:Rolling a hit then getting 1 damage on a random roll, for instance?Lean into randomness to improve the experience: Make the success roll pivotal so it influences the effect, like the way crits work. Dice Superstitions Unlucky/lucky dice and players. Don't touch another gamer's dice. Put new dice through rituals to make them roll well Must have dice of one-color set. Roll with specific dice every time.

We start out by looking at some games we've played : Sherlock : Holmes and Mycroft Of Dreams and Shadows Noxford Castles of Burgundy Dice Game Ulm Railroad Revolution We then get into the main topic of discussion - Unfair. This is a CMoN game, with no minis? We talk theme and components, before we delve into the meat of the discussion - is this a take-that game or a game where bad things happen to you? How do you feel about that? Is there a different between PvP attacks and when the game attacks you?
