Running Bases in RPGs or Did I Leave the Hellforge On? (Season 4; Ep 9)

Eric and Carl welcome our new co-host Chris and talk about using Nemesis NPCs in your RPG games.  These aren't necessarily the big bad evil character but can be someone (or a party) that gets in the player's way, beats them to the punch, or simply is an antagonist that adds interest to the campaign.

Chris and Carl talk about creating encounters for your tabletop RPG that are interesting and compelling but are not combat related.  They talk about everything from puzzles to traps to social interactions.   00:00 - Introduction 03:55 - Cool Stuff Found  https://www.edge-studio.net/?l=en https…
