It's the end of our Behind the Dice series of the first StabbyQuest campaign! In this episode we finish off the series by discussing helpful items for the players, such as handouts and when they're appropriate, When does meta or table talk feel right, and some fun ways to incorporate both of those into the game. We finish off by revisiting the last episode before this Behind the Dice started, including a couple of character reveals and the cliffhanger the gameplay episodes paused on. Thank you all so much for hanging with us through these Behind the Dice episodes, and we hope you enjoyed them ..read more

These Behind the Dice series are almost over! I can't believe we're almost back to gameplay episodes. In this session we continue the theme of a tabletop group "recovering from being lost" - and we discuss a number of options of how to do that. We did eventually settle on one that has been incredibly helpful for us, and we hope some of the ideas herein help any other group who may be in the same position we were. We also discuss the party's actions between the Botched Stay at the Rusty Dragon while chasing Yoxel and Namril, while covering how the other information they already have helps them ..read more

In this episode of our Behind the Dice series, we talk about a period in the campaign where the party was feeling pretty lost about their main quest, and how to recover from those moments as a character and as a player.

If you enjoy the show please leave us a review or rating on your platform of choice, and as always Thanks for listening and thanks to our wonderful Patrons who keep this show on the a ..read more

In this Behind the Dice Episode, we finish talking about Skill Challenges and comparing those in-the-moment feelings to other types of encounters, what the cast would like to see in the campaign and what movies or games they think our game is like, unique or magic items and weapons they don't or do have in their possession (and definitely forgot about), and uncomfortable Oktoberfest experiences!

In this Behind the Dice episode, we pick back up after the gang leaves the spider-infested mine just before they abandon their horses and head into Tickwood to find Aluin's manor. Going back through Tickwood gave us all the giggles, and as a result, we earn that explicit rating in this episode.
