DoubleDM #59: How to create compelling Political Intrigue

This episode focuses on creating a good, compelling, interesting Political Intrigue game in D&D and other TTRPG. We discuss steps in creating the intrigue, common pitfalls to avoid, and best practices in handling players and information for the game. Political Intrigue seems to be harder to pull off right than other types of TTRPG campaigns, but that is largely due to the need for player buy-in into the world, the game, and the characters as well as making sure your players have agency in their action. In this episode, we will explain everything so you can create the best political intrigue game and avoid all Pitfalls.
