DoubleDM #48: Puzzles and how to deal with them

Happy New Year!!!!!!!In this episode, we talk about Puzzles in Tabletop Roleplaying and what Puzzles mean for us. After our Trap Episode, we felt the need to talk about Puzzles since both get put into the same boxes for TTRPGs which is totally justified. They check mostly the same boxes as the other and fulfill the same purpose at the table. However, there are some differences you should be mindful of.Puzzles sometimes get a bad rep for their Problem of challenging Players more than their Characters and while that can be true it is far from strictly true and we try to help you understand how to bridge the Player - Character Gap to mitigate the disconnect when it comes to puzzles. We also talk about what types of puzzles there are, how they work, how puzzles are their own reward, and a lot of things from Episode 46 get revisited here too.Sponsor Links:GemmedFirefly: Store/ RPG For FreeOur Links:WebsiteTwitterInstagramKo-Fi Hosted on Acast.
