DoubleDM #74: How You Can Deal With Power Creep

In this episode, we discuss Power Creep at your D&D and TTRPGs Tables. We will describe a lot of different ways how you can identify and deal with different kinds of Power Escalation and Threat Levels and why Power Creep can come from both sides of the table. We highlight a lot of different ways how you can handle power escalations by creating different new challenges that will challenge your players more than their powers only.Often times Power Creep can also creep into Storytelling where we are compelled to design greater and greater challenges that become more and more ridiculous for our players to deal with which pushes us to deal with a more and more increasingly hard challenge to come up with these challenges themself. We give guidance and advice on how to make sure you slow down on your threat development.For more information check these timestamps:16:20: What do we mean when we say Power Creep?22:00: The Actual Problem of Power Creep26:30: Why Power Creep is not Universal29:00: The Many Ways to deal with Power Creep36:00: Power Creep is not outright bad40:00: How do you prevent ridiculous Threats45:00: Slow Down in Escalation50:00: Power Creep is a Perception Thing54:00: You will need to change it upYou can find the Show on Social Media and the Web to stay up to date with the latest content, schedules, and more:Website, Twitter, Instagram, Ko-Fi Hosted on Acast.
