Episode 250 - Exit, Stage Left

Well, it's here: episode 250, the end of five years of tabletop gaming advice. We're celebrating this occasion with our good friend and fellow podcast, Justin from Crit Academy! With his help, we're knocking out all the rest of our unused discussion questions in a grab bag of gaming advice and memories. I hope you enjoy it, and be sure to join us next week as we wind down and send off Inter-Party Conflict! Question(s) discussed: 1. What is a good way to bring up the subject if you think the DM is kneecapping certain skills, such as by setting DCs too high? 2. I'm making music playlists for my DnD game. What playlist themes (combat music, tavern music, etc.) would I need to cover all of the various states of play? 3. Have you ever played/encountered someone else playing an alternate character in a campaign? Did it enhance the gameplay in expected/unexpected ways, or hurt the gameplay in expected/unexpected ways? Or both? 4. What are your top tips for a new DM? 5. What is the most fun way a PC has died in a game you have been in? 6. What are your opinions on Gith? 7. What do you do when one player seems to be directly antagonizing another player in-game? 8. How can I play a narrow-minded, self-centered character in a party without ruining everyone else's experience? 9. What is the best way to learn how to optimize a character in D&D? 10. What minor rule in your games do you keep forgetting? 11. If you could make a useless cantrip, what would it do?
