Keeper Susannah of the Thornvale actual-play podcast joins Cap'n Will for an in-depth discussion about Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs). Hear our passion! Topics include: the memories we make and why they stick with us; how D&D prepared Will for college; how TTRPGs help writers and how writing skills can help you play; dealing with "murder hobo" PCs; character death: striking the right balance between fun and creating tension; the fun of critical failures & character weaknesses; min/maxing; balancing fun with stakes (a.k.a. when & when not to kill PCs); tips for creating characters that are fun to play (best practices for character creation); the value of NPCs & dramatic moments; Pathfinder 2.0 vs. 1.0. Also, Susannah and Will share a couple of their favorite roleplaying moments.

TTRPG systems discussed: D&D, Monster of the Week, Pathfinder (OG & 2.0), Rifts, d20 Modern/Future/Apocalypse... and more.
