The XP Valley
from SideQuests! · host Epic Table Games
Contact the Paladins of PodcastIf you don't know what the XP valley is, Rob and Potato jump right in and talk about what exactly it is and how it effects your favorite table top role playing games. It appears to be the cause of your favorite sessions running into straight grinds, it's the reason so many players turn into murder hobos, and it seems to be one reason most games are played at lower levels and die out before reaching 11th level. It's a system designed to keep you in place, and eventually reward you for fighting through the slog of continuous combat. But in the end, how do you get around it?--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Thanks for tuning in to SideQuests!
