Critical fumbles can really spiral out of control. I love hijinks but I try to avoid strict mechanical failures when someone roles a nat 1 on a skill check. I describe it in a funny or dramatic way and we keep the momentum going. I think critical fumbles can work well for some tables but make sure to talk about it during your session zero. You don’t want to surprise your players with a homebrew rule like that!

Most campaigns give out too much gold or too little. In my last campaign, I included a pirate ship with a bunch of upgrades. The better the ship was the more expensive the upkeep cost became which left my players hoarding gold like real pirates!

Not every player will match every DM. Don’t take it personally when a player just doesn’t jive with the campaign you’re running!

The last decade has been an amazing time for table-top games. An explosion of new and interesting systems hit the shelves. Designers redefined the genre with new mechanics that focus on the narrative of the story. We play a variety of games at our table and we have several campaigns we are taking into 2020. I’ve compiled a list of the 5 games we will be playing during our late night Saturday sessions.
