Currencies might be more than you think! While we often think of money as a currency in a game, things like items, spells, even HP can be considered currency and the way we incorporatre them into our ttrpgs will have a big impact on the tone, style and play of a system and a game session. Today i am joined be Richard, a seasoned game designer to talk about currency in games.
If you liked Richard's insights (who am I kidding, of course you did) you can find him on twitter at @SprintingOwl. You can also take a look at Richard's games here: https://kumada1.itch.io/ or look for Richard Kelly at drivethroughRPG (use the affiliate link below!)

It's a TRAP!
PART 1:
A free form discussion about using Traps as a Game Master and how we make them interesting and avoid some of the pitfalls that comes with them. This discussion is inspired by questions that was provided to us on twitter, and we answer in a free form, podcast style.
We touch on:
1) What to do if the party faces a dungeon full of traps, but does not have a thief-type character?
2) How to avoid the game from halting, because of the many rolls players ask to make when exploring areas with potential traps?
3) Should traps be just damage/no damage and what else can they be?
4) How to give purpose to your traps, so they don't feel pointless?
PART 2:
Are your traps boring? Want to do more with you traps in your next #DnD or #TTRPG session? In this episode, we give you 7 tips on how to make traps fun and meaningful in your game.
The 7 things to consider are:
1) Integration of traps with other elements
2) Why is the trap there? Give it purpose
3) Variability of skill and diversity of challenge
4) How was it built? Give it lore/history
5) Puzzly traps - Easy to find, but hard to deal with
6) Frontload information - Bringing tension to every check
7) Make traps more than straight up damage - Alarm, environment change, conditions and more....
