  • Episode 58: How Table Size Changes Your Approach
    May 23 2026

    Let's be real, running for 4 players is very different to how you would run for 8 players. This week we're getting into the nuts and bolts of how the headcount at your table can drastically change the way you run your game.

    May 9 2026

    Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition has been much maligned on this show. Paddy may be on the fence still but Matt's had enough. Today we ask the question, what would D&D need to do to win us back?

  • Episode 54: GM Style Revisited
    Apr 25 2026

    A few weeks ago now Matt Colville posted a great video where he talked about his GMing Style.


    Toward the end he put out the call to other creators to jump in with any additions on the topic of GM Style. We talk a lot about the things that make up GM Style on the show so we figured we'd have a go at codifying a few 'GM Archetypes'.
