Be the Hero?
In this post, I question the common advice to DMs of one-on-one games that the PC should “feel like a hero.” What if that doesn’t suit the character’s or the player’s personality? I turn to the fertile world of internal conflict to uncover some alternatives to this heroic approach.
Sidekicks Best Practices: DM Interventions vs PC Immersion
As a GM, it can be difficult at times to determine the balance between guiding a player and railroading them. This becomes particularly complicated while playing in a duet game because it’s just the two of you.

Death House: The Duet Revamp
Death House provides an incredible introduction to the world of Barovia and offers the DM a chance to introduce your primary player to the major themes that Curse of Strahd explores.
Going on Dates in D&D
Are you looking for a fun date idea with your partner inside your D&D game? Like a double-layered date between yourselves and your characters? If so, we have some fun ideas and questions for you!
Identify: The Bardic Inspiration
The Bardic Inspiration makes custom music for RPG characters, adventuring groups, and even D&D podcasts! You can commission a theme song for your character so that each time they take the battlefield or prepare for an important RP conversation, your DM has just the thing to set the mood.
Curse of Strahd: The Duet Revamp
The Curse of Strahd Duet Revamp approaches this excellent book with the aim of making the content work for adventuring parties of one player and one DM. This is accomplished by making the player character the object of Strahd’s obsession, tweaking of encounters, and reorganizing the suggested sequence.
Hook and Chance: A Podcast Interview
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.
