Alignment languages are often brought up as slightly strange, awkward vestigial bits from the oldest versions of D&D. Well, in my last gaming session, I brought it out of mothballs and deployed it as a campaign tool. I brought this up in my last recap but I thought it was worth discussing on its own merits (or lack thereof!). Have you used alignment languages in your game? Why or why not?

Daniel from Bandit's Keep is back for another semi-regular chat! This time, we'll talk about making up monsters, whether it's a simple reskin, an overhaul, or a complete, from-the-ground up build from scratch.

I'm tired of the fudging vs non-fudging game master arguments. They lack a voice that should be the most important voice in the discussion: the voice of the players. Well, I don't want to hear anymore thoughts from DMs on the matter. I want to hear about players. If you play in a game with fudging, tell me about it. If you play in a game without fudging (as far as you know), I'd like to hear from you as well. How do you feel about it? Do you want to play in a game with fudging, open or...

Game masters often ask how to get players to be a certain way, whether it be better roleplayers (whatever that means), or more invested in the "story", or more inquisitive, or something else. In this video, I explain why it might be better and more productive to either let go of these expectations entirely, rethink them, or reframe them into something more productive.

Let's discuss worldbuilding via our magic systems. As described in an RPG, magic can be very setting specific or generic. Even if generic, how the magic system works and how spells are described implies things about the setting. If the setting of our campaign diverges from the rules setting, implicit or implied, what sorts of things can we do to fix it?
