No more streaming RPGs for me. At least, no more producing streams. It stresses me in unfun ways, especially when I also have the responsibility to run a game. Session 6, despite all the fun we had playing it, did not stream or record correctly. For whatever reason, OBS didn't pick up my microphone despite … Continue reading Krevborna – Session 6 Review
How do you handle "failure" in Dungeons and Dragons? What about when a player doesn't succeed on knowledge checks of various sorts? I wrote before about avoiding boring failures by using techniques like "success at a cost" and "degrees". But let's talk a bit about what happens specifically when players roll to find out information. … Continue reading Give the players what they asked for

Or read the summary below... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzH1C92KGuU Narrative The session began with the characters deciding how to handle the wererat they … Continue reading Krevborna – Session 3 Review
Last night's game started to see the adventure take shape in greater detail. Unfortunately, this noob streamer didn't realize that the voices of the players didn't make it through to Twitch, so the video is fairly one-sided and I've decided to keep it unpublished.
