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.

The Circle of Balance druid subclass provides a fun and flexible alternative specifically designed for urban campaigns. It lends a martial slant to druids without relying on Wild Shape. You’ll also find a fey pug druidic mentor/sidekick and a new wild companion options for druids, the jewel fox!

Sidekicks Best Practices: DM Interventions vs PC Immersion

November 5, 2019 by Beth 2 Comments

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. If the player misses something important, they don’t have backup, besides their DM, to help them figure it out. This post walks through some possible solutions to this issue with DMPCs in one-on-one play.

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.
