On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
Life hacks are everywhere these days. But have you ever heard of gaming hacks? Well, Nathan ran across a video from 5 Minute Crafts claiming to give us “13 Gaming Hacks You Should Know” and has tasked Alex with rating them from “Must Have” to “Kill it with Fire”.
Sometimes we have adventure hooks that needed more time in the oven. On this episode, we look at an old Reddit post asking to flesh out some of these to see if we can bake them all over again.
A while back we discussed character tropes and touched briefly on the idea of the Mary Sue, a character that effortlessly and skillfully manages any situation while remaining flawless and beloved by all. This is often seen as a bad thing, but Nathan makes the case that we should stop being so hard on this archetype and maybe look at the possibilities of building characters like them.
