Ben asks – What is the silliest or most absurd rule that you enforce as a GM? Ben, let’s first define “silly.” There are plenty of bad or cumbersome rules (see my column about encumbrance), but I tend to categorize them as “crappy” instead of “silly.” Silly and absurd, for me, have positive connotations when it comes to …
We conclude our monstrous adventure as the small band of heroes finish up their side-quest, and mostly collect a lot of bones. Marvel as undead are turned for the first time in the history of our podcast, and many, many pits are fallen into. There may even be a bit of a surprise as the end. The adventure continues with …
The town of Norhall is under attack! Or at least the agents of the Dark Lady are running through there causing problems. Hate those jerks. This is a 5e Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in Northwestern Drunkeros and DMed by Tim Lanning. This is all possible due to the wonderful folks who support our Patreon. Thank you! …
Brandon asks – Do you enforce encumbrance? Brandon, the very unglamourous answer is “it depends.” While I’m all for playing most games with the rules as written, I do think that incorporating “house rules” or tweaks to some of the more boring mechanics of certain games make for a better overall experience.

Our small band of monsters continue the side-quest this week. They delve deeper into this unusual crypt that you, the listener, has maybe encountered before? Let’s hope the team doesn’t get too distracted by all the beautiful bones because they still need to save the noble leader of Tidtowne. The adventure continues with Tug (Mike Bachmann), Baz (Jennifer Cheek), …
CJ asks – I’m running a campaign that’s about ten sessions old and two of the players want to split off and hunt down an artifact that I kind of mentioned by accident. Is the whole “never split the party” thing good advice or should I let these two go on their search? CJ, yours …
With Timothy missing in action, we have taken on a bit of a side quest this week. We follow a brutish force of monsters as they go on a dangerous quest to save the noble leader of Tidtowne. At first it might not seem like this has a whole lot to do with our main …
Man, another episode of Norhall. What do the crazy kids get up to this episode? It is scientifically impossible for me to say, so you will just have to listen to find out yourself! This is a 5e Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in Northwestern Drunkeros and DMed by Tim Lanning. This is all possible due to …
Chris asks – I’m someone who has just recently gotten into tabletop gaming as player, though I’ve been accumulating ideas for a game of my own down the line. I’ve started writing down the initial plotline, and thankfully, I still have some time before this game could get started in proper, so I can map …
Typically, your local library doesn’t like it if you make noise. They hate it if make most of the room explode – even if you are trying to thwart an assassination attempt. But some times these things happen, and there is no way the Nareevians were going to just sit back and wait for our gang of …
