We're Back for SPOOKTOBER!!!!
That's right, spooky scary skeletons send shivers down your spines as Pirate and Deacon sit down to talk shop on the upcoming finale battle for a 2 year campaign, how to make boss encounters dynamic, how NOT to TPK your groups (mostly) and the importance of voting! Buckle up buttercups, this one is SPOILER HEAVY for the Curse of Strahd module!
ROLL HIGH!
We take a small detour into sharing what feels are being felt as the world cascades into further absurdity. Are you ready for the rise of hard fascism in the US? You should be!
If a Pig named Pimpernel means anything to you, turn back lest spoilers abound. This week Pirate is hosting a fellow Dungeon Master (in both senses) Deacon, to talk shop on modifying pre-written campaign settings, navigating complex table dynamics and power creep in long campaigns. This one's particularly nerdy as we dig deep into shared narrative building and leave a cliffhanger for how it applies to building engaging BDSM scenes as well.
This week we delve into social woes, the call to adventure, the importance of a well regulated crying regiment and some of OUR favorite content to dig into while cuddling. Exposing and healing emotional wounds, connecting with friends, gender norms, the American dream, systemic oppression, the SURVIVAL of 99% of us, New England Autumn and how fuzzed out Pirates brain gets after a massage.
Wow, these guys covered a lot of ground in this episode.
This week our intrepid heroes come to grips with loss and loneliness as the pandemic continues to spread across the Land. Sebastian twerks in a Kimono, Pirate gets a new toy and everyone is having an intense week following the full moon. You're not alone, dear listeners and in this episode there are several helpful resources for being heard, getting help and staying sane. Make a wisdom saving throw against the madness of the times and Roll High!
Your hosts: Pirate and Sebastian kick off the adventure by covering the beginnings and basics of good play by establishing a framework for open and trusting communication. From Kissing to fisting to calling your elf "knife ears" we're laying down the foundation for healthy communication. A soap box or two might be involved as we broach the important topics of today with shout outs to the Black Lives Matter movement, Puppetry of the Penis, and to the fight against Fascism. Buckle up buttercup it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
