Beth and I had an amazing time talking all things one-on-one D&D with the terrific folks of the Hook and Chance podcast. Our discussion ranged from practical advice about how to get started playing a duet and what makes this kind of intimate play so special, to Dungeons and Dragons tattoos, to the creation of married NPCs.
Playing a Duet
Running Curse of Strahd One-on-One
Running Curse of Strahd with one player and one DM presents opportunities for rich character development set against a beautifully gothic backdrop. However, when considering this campaign for one-on-one D&D, DMs should adjust encounters, start the party off at a higher level, and tailor content.

Player’s Review of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
In this post, I share some of my thoughts about Waterdeep: Dragon Heist from a player’s perspective. Hopefully this will give you some things to think about if you’re considering playing through the campaign and, if your DM has already picked it out, to give you some ideas for character creation!

Player’s Guide to Curse of Strahd: Part Two
In part two of our player’s guide to Curse of Strahd series, I suggest that playing in a darker campaign means playing a darker character. I’ll lay out why I think that’s a good idea and give you some suggestions as to how to go about doing just that.
How to Use a Sidekick in D&D
This post cover how to incorporate a sidekick in your one-on-one D&D game and the mechanics surrounding their inclusion.

Player’s Guide to Curse of Strahd: Part One
