Please Hold - Placing a Campaign on Hiatus
Sometimes a campaign needs a break—but when is a break a hiatus, and when is it actually the end?
This episode, we talk about the reasons campaigns get put on hold, from scheduling problems and life changes to GM burnout, and how to communicate clearly with your group when a campaign needs to pause. We also discuss how to build planned hiatuses into a campaign, keeping good notes while you're away, and what it takes to successfully return after a long break.
And, of course, we ask the important question: how long can a campaign be on hiatus before everyone just assumes it's over?
Join us for a conversation about putting campaigns on hold without necessarily putting them to rest.

Everybody Wants To Rule the World - Making Memorable Villains
What makes a memorable RPG villain? We explore how Game Masters can create compelling tabletop RPG villains with clear goals, distinct personalities, meaningful weaknesses, and motivations beyond simply "being evil."
We discuss memorable villains from Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, Buffy, and our own campaigns—and how to keep antagonists active and engaging throughout an RPG campaign.
And the one foolproof way to make an unstoppable villain?
Make them a squirrel.
