  • S2 Ep70: Character Deaths
    May 17 2024

    NEW! You can now message us about this episode:

    TW: This episode is predominately about death, in many fashions. While we don't go too heavily into details in manner of deaths, there is a little bit of talk of how characters die. If this is a touchy subject for you dear listener, than feel free to sit this one out.

    In this one we talk a lot about what makes a PC's death memorable, including lots of really specific examples! Also posing the question: Do the Death mechanics in D&D5e work well enough, or is there something that can be improved upon?
