Our TTRPG characters are often bold heroes that inspire others, or are connected to the underworld and have access to a network of minions. Others still bond with nature, or summon companions with magic. This week, Sara & Rob talk about handling companions, followers, and pets!

Some game sessions land differently than others, whether you tried to tell a horror story and your players felt it wasn’t fun, or your “big reveal” catches players off-guard, seen as a gaff rather than a brilliant twist. Oftentimes, the emotional impact, enjoyment, and interaction with a game can be a matter of mismanaged expectations – the story you told was different from what the players wanted or expected. This week, Sara & Rob discuss managing player expectations, and how it can greatly affect the enjoyment of your game.

A universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship, where synthetic people play god while space truckers and marines serve host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It’s a harsh and unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable. This month’s spotlight puts us in the terror-filled existence of Free League Publishing’s Alien TTRPG. In space, nobody can hear you scream!

Why is the BBEG always waiting in his mountain lair, his hand perched on the button, waiting for the heroes to arrive? And what is up with the monologue? Is this really necessary? Sara and Rob review villainy further and discuss the merits and flaws of villains waiting for heroes.
