    Going Big: Making Memorable NPC Conversations

    2026-02-26 | 13 mins.
    Listen... if an NPC or a roleplayed conversation is unmemorable, why is it in your campaign? More importantly, is it possible to make each conversation a memorable experience? Well, if you GO BIG with your show, your tell, your personalities, and your NPC alignments, that'll certainly help! Tanner shares examples and reasons to go big or go home with your NPC roleplays—you'll thank us later!

    2026-02-23 | 17 mins.
    Today we’ll dissect the ins and outs of immersion, guided by our usual host, Danny Barrett. In this sixth episode, we will go over the CASE framework and squeeze it for all it’s worth, going through concepts like Fourth wall, diegesis, and Verfremdungseffekt.

    2026-02-19 | 21 mins.
    Welcome back to today’s show.
    Today we talk about tempo, using 2 analogies.
    D&D is like music.
    D&D is like a heart.
    If you understand those two facts, you’ll naturally improve your tempo.

    Brevity: Say Less To Do More

    2026-02-12 | 19 mins.
    Doesn't it always feel like you have to fill the silence? Or explain better—explain more, even? As a DM, do we say too much when saying a little would go a lot further? Kind of a weird principle, but one that an over-explainer like Tanner is willing to tackle in today's episode!
