  • Episode 37: By Player Hook or by Campaign Crook
    Feb 26 2026

    Sam and Stephen talk about player hooks, campaign starts, and the wet fart that is D&D 5E Supplement Books. We're only mostly joking about that last part. Remember, broadening your RPG system horizon can only improve your gamemaster skill. Don't forget, our Disciples of Antiquitius-1 Build Bounty is due Monday, March 2nd at 11:59PM. Submissions must be a Level 10 Solarian, must have some deep connection to Antiquitius-1. Can have an archetype if you’d like. Please include an outline of what makes your Solarian unique, as well as the event in their life that led them to become one of Antiquitius-1’s students.
