Ep. 31 - Implementing Cursed Items and How Not to Lore Dump May 09, 2019

Show notes

This week we're talking about two smaller topics that were suggested by you!

Cursed Items; how do you use them fairly, effectively and in a fun way as a DM? As a player what do you need to look out for? What do you do when you're cursed from that new great sword you love? And how do approach the subject with your DM?

Lore; How can you as a DM seamlessly drop interesting lore into your games? How do you make sure the players are getting everything you put down for them? And what to do when they aren't?

We'll talk about all of today,so grab a seat and join us as We Speak Common.
