DoubleDM – Details, episodes & analysis

Let's discuss law and order, especially lawmaking, in your D&D settings today!! How do you write some good legal texts for your D&D Settings that represent the people making it, living under it, enforcing it, and convicted by it?

There are some special questions about law-making in fantasy and sci-fi worlds but general rules still apply and we will discuss both from the basis to the specialisation.

We also changed our Podcast Host so if this episode appears weird that's probably why and please let us know what is weird about it.

Today we discuss an on going discourse of the TTRPG Space: "Actual Play Shows are not how you play the games actually", at least that is what some people claim... Most of which have not been part of many actual plays.

But there is still some truth to that saying but in our opinion, it not a healthy way to say what is important about any showing/presentation of TTRPGs, and that is what we focus on today!

And with that the Villain is revealed... Or is he? The Mad Scientist behind the Automatons is waiting on the other side of that Lab!

Today we talk about ways you can make your D&D and TTRPG combats more interesting, difficult, and engaging by using monster and enemy tactics.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to use tactics and how even the most simple tactic can already have a great impact at your tables. We also discuss how you can come up with tactics easily for every single monster and enemy by just using them the way they are already designed.

We discuss and advise on creating tactics and the most simple ways to spice up your combats and make your players sweat. We talk about what different Monster features mean and how they would be using their features to their advantage or how a simple structure and a leader on the enemy's side can already make combats better for everyone involved. We talk about how they heighten immersion, make the world feel more natural, and create a sense of complexity in your world too.

Today we talk about the reason why TTRPGs are becoming bigger and bigger and more and more mainstream. Obviously, there are many reasons working together here but we are here to talk about the aspect that experience plays.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between consuming content and experiencing content and why our world has evolved from just wanting to consume specific content to make the experience of said content unique and exciting. This is where TTRPGs play a crucial part for us since they are a way to experience, create and explore our own content without many extra requirements.

We discuss what it means to consume content and why the experience of content consumption and creation is different and more important in todays world. We talk about the factors that lead to this development like Social Media and the Availability of the Internet and bring it all back around to talking about why TTRPGs are such amazing tools for everyone to use. We give out advice on creating and heightening immersion at the table, how to experience a story rather than telling it, and what you can do to make your games spectacles no one will ever forget.

Today we talk about how you can hand the right magic items to your D&D and TTRPG players to reward them, spotlight them and level them up. We also answer questions like: "What Magic Items should i give out?" or "How many D&D magic Items are too many?"

In this episode, we talk about magic items in D&D and how generous you should be in handing them out to your players to not boost their power too much but to still make them feel rewarded and powerful. If you ever asked yourself the question of what kind of magic items, how many of them, or how powerful they should be this is the right episode for you.

We discuss what it means to be generous and if there is something like being too generous or not generous enough when it comes to magic items and rewards for players in D&D. We highlight that different TTRPG playstyles will call for different levels of generosity and that players should have some say in what way they are rewarded. We give out advice on creating the right balance of power and danger using magic items and rewards, how you can work with your players to create the best magic item rewards possible, and what you can do if you ever gave your players too many magic items.

WE'RE FINALLY BACK!!

Join us today as we start Season 2 of DoubleDM, where not much changed and we are still doing the same discussions in the same format!

This time we talk about how to always improve as a Game Master, that you are never the perfect Game Master and can always seek to improve your skills to weave even greater stories, craft even grander worlds, or roleplay even better villains. There is always something you can do and improve on but it's important to look back once in a while too to appreciate where you came from and what Mistakes and Past Experiences helped you the most in becoming who you are today.

We discuss making the best of every moment at the table and playing with a focus on improving your games to have the best time possible and give advice that will help you in shaping future sessions to come and especially how to evaluate the games you played and moments that happened.

We're supposed to be on break but we need to talk about the news now so we thought to at least make a short update including all the information currently available and what we are doing with the information available and also Wizards just updated on D&D Beyond so it's the perfect time to upload. :)

This new OGL is not about empowering their own game and its creator space but an attempt to control and squash the market in their hands to make D&D not only the world's greatest roleplaying game but the world's only roleplaying game. Wizards of the Coast has shown their intent to control and with this short update, we want to just tell you what that means for us, you, and the content creation space.

Please make your voice heard and support an #OpenDnD in whatever way you feel comfortable, cancel your D&D Beyond Subscription, File Support Tickets with Wizards, and talk about this online and offline. If you want to look further than D&D and play new games I encourage you to do so too.

It's been 2 years since we started DoubleDM. Thank you for joining us on this incredible life-changing journey into TTRPG Content Creation. This episode is us looking back at the amazing 2 years we had and what we learned about Content Creation, TTRPG Game Mastering, and just us as Human Beings. We talk about how our lives, our Game Master Style, and our Content changed in those 2 years and talk about what it means to us that we have been able to produce content for you all this time. 

(I'm getting a little teary-eyed writing this Description)

This episode also features some of the best things, practices, and ideas we have learned about content creation and D&D and TTRPG Game Mastering and kind of serves as a recap of 99 Main Show Episodes. We also look into the future of DoubleDM and what will happen next for us in the next 2 years of Content Creation.

Once again, thank you for joining us on this journey and we hope we can stay together for another 2 amazing years.

Reminder: We're on break till February 6th and won't be releasing any Main Show Episodes (there might be other Content dropped) 

You can find the Show on Social Media and the Web to stay up to date with the latest content, schedules, and more:
