    Sweating the (really) small stuff – over-prepping for a game

    "There are DMs who are like, ‘F**k it, this is imagination-land; I will wing all of this.’ But I am not one of those people."

    Yay for the Critical Fail – The Joys of Natural Ones

    "It’s never bad to have moments where you’re reminded that this isn't a game where you have a better experience if you succeed all the time"

    Tasty treat or terrible cheat? – Fudging rolls: can you, should you, do you?

    Our players' exact words were ‘omg dms fudge their rolls’ followed by ‘i feel… / betrayed…’

    Guess Who’s Coming to D&D – having cameo characters in your game

    We have different approaches. You're very much a ‘I will put in hours of work’ type DM; I’m a bit more like, ‘There’s a sheet, off you go.'

    May Day Madness – we ponder spells and socialism

    "I wouldn’t want the focus of this moment to be, ‘Do we have enough money?’ Dying is bad enough anyway."

    Rogue One-Shot – our experience playing a one-off campaign

    "My character’s en route to becoming a villain in the main campaign."

    All revved up and ready to ride – mounts as animal companions

    "If you’ve sacrificed a whole level into a particular class in order to get a mount, it should be better than any old horse you buy."

    Anything you can draw I can draw worse – playing D&D with our limited budgets and artistic talents

    "Oh, we don’t want to fight the necromancer in his dark tower. We’re going to wait til he goes shopping."

    Decision, decisions, decisions – Levelling up and the quest for aesthetically-pleasing feats

    "My only rule is: ‘Does it match my aesthetic?’"

    The butterfly effect – the joys and difficulties of an open world setting

    "If we do the wrong thing, it could knock everything in the world off-kilter."

    Five red herrings – secret clues and badly-hidden hints in session write-ups

    "I want to check with my players that I’ve understood things without being so obvious as to ask, ‘Which one of you took the cursed object?’"

    To Ratcon or to Railroad? — words we wish we understood and plots we wish we knew

    "Though I like to maintain the illusion of choice."

    He plays, she plays, they play, cosplay – thoughts on going to London Comic Con 2018

    "I don’t think the organisers of the con were prepared for how many Critical Role fans would descend on them."

    Did I mention that I like Ed Sheeran? — bringing your passions to work

    "It was a little awkward. I killed the dating conversation."

    Doing Shots — Archery in Pathfinder versus real-life Robin Hoods

    "I think we can assume our archer is proficient with longbows."
