E155 - Dungeon Mastery - Power Creep: Bigger, Harder, Deeper, Faster

Balancing has always been a major issue in tabletop game design, so this week on the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters discuss one of the subtle issues at new tables, and that’s Power Creep.  It can be a little difficult to define, and it can definitely sneak up on Dungeon Masters, but this meta discussion should shine a little light on a topic that will be familiar to most seasoned Dungeons & Dragons players.   Cold Open 0:00Intro 4:19 Game Scope 6:05Commercial Break 52:04Game Design 54:00Social Media Info 1:29:54Problems and Solutions 1:30:06Outro 1:49:18Post-Credit 1:50:13Bloopers 1:52:50   DON’T FORGET TO LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!   Available On:https://www.itsamimic.comiTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/its-a-mimic/id1450770037Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3Y19VxSxLKyfg0gY0yUeU1Podbean at https://itsamimic.podbean.com/ YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzQmvEufzxPHWrFSZbB8uuw   Social:Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/itsamimic/Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/itsamimic/?hl=enReddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/ItsaMimic/Email at info@itsamimic.com   Dungeon Master:  Adam NasonHost 2:  Dan O’CoinHost 3:  James Sealy   Written by:  Adam NasonDirector:  Adam NasonAudio Editor:  Tyler GibsonVideo Editor:  Adam NasonProduced by:  Tyler Gibson and Adam NasonExecutive Producers:  Dan O’Coin and Adam NasonIntro/Outro Music by:  Cory WiebeLogo by:  Katie Skidmore at https://www.instagram.com/clementineartportraits/   Current Gear:Microphone (USA) - https://amzn.to/2WWuCsz Microphone (CAN) - https://amzn.to/2WTZ69G   This post or video may contain affiliate links, which means we may receive a commission for purchases made through our links.   This episode is meant to be used as an inspirational supplement for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and tabletop roleplaying games in general.  It’s A Mimic! does not own the rights to any Wizards of the Coasts products.   Artwork included in this episode’s visualizations is published and/or owned by Wizards of the Coast.
