The Basic Roles of the Dungeon Master
Running a game of D&D is extremely rewarding. In this one function, you have the chance to take on several exciting and ever-changing roles: storyteller, narrator, actor, arbiter, and coordinator. This post discusses each of these in detail.
How to Start Playing a Duet
Whether you are just starting out with role-playing games or you are a well-seasoned veteran, starting a duet is an amazing opportunity to explore your favorite tabletop role-playing game in a fresh new way. The good thing about duets is that you only need to convince one other person to buy in. Sometimes, though, that can be a daunting prospect for a number of reasons.
How to Create Your Player Character [PC] in D&D: First Steps
We suggest, if you’re new to role-playing games (RPGs), that you base your character on an aspect of yourself so that you have relatively quick access to their emotions and personality. But more importantly, it makes for a really fun way to play. We use the term primary character to further designate the main character of your game, your central protagonist. Basically, you’ll need one character whose life and story drive the plot of your narrative. This is a bit different than games with larger numbers of players whose PCs work together, as a party, to collectively tell a story. In a duet, it’s all about the primary character!
D&D for Two
It all started with a typo: Duchess and Dragons. It has since become one of our very favorite things to do, something to constantly look forward to, and an amazing way for us to spend time together and have fun. We hope that this blog will fill a bit of a gap in the online D&D-verse for two-person games, specifically duets. By calling it a duet, we want to emphasize the collaborative aspects of playing a two-person campaign. D&D is already about working with others to tell a story together, and duets depend even more on that collaboration, which is part of what makes them so wonderful!
