Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

36 | Bold Takes and Bad Tempers | These Questions and Zoup Will Be The End Of Me
Q: What advice would you give a DM that might feel this kind of irritation?
It's important for the DM to keep the game serious so that the tone rubs off on other players, maintaining stakes and drama.
36 | Bold Takes and Bad Tempers | These Questions and Zoup Will Be The End Of Me
Q: Hey Zach, want to know your hot take on a DM dealing with a snark player?
A snarky player tends not to come from someone who wants to undermine a DM; it comes from someone with a thick shell who doesn't want to be too invested in the story.
35 | Bold Takes and Bad Tempers | There Are People Eating Hotdogs In My Drivethru
Q: How do you run gods in your game?
I don't add in the actual Abrahamic gods into my games; I just don't do that, but as long as the powers are derived from something meaningful, it's all good.
35 | Bold Takes and Bad Tempers | There Are People Eating Hotdogs In My Drivethru
Q: What are your thoughts on introducing named characters to a twist to better fit your world?
You should approach it with empathy and let your player know that it's just a different interpretation of lore, and you want them to understand how it's being applied in your homebrew setting.
33 | Bold Takes and Bad Tempers | David Lynch's Pizzeria
Q: What do you think about using Schrodinger's reinforcements where you as a DM have reinforcements written in or prepared ahead of time in case a BBEG fight or something like that is too easy for the party?
It's fine every now and again, but if I'm going against every boss and we're like beating them up and then all of a sudden, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, we're here. We're doing it. I just feel like I'd get exhausted.
