This episode revisits the contentious topic of 'Yes And' in a TTRPG context. This time, however, Paddy's come armed and dangerous with examples of where this improvisational structure has been intentionally incorporated into a system's rules.

Enjoy!

In this episode we break down a concept of Matt's called 'The 3 Layers of Storytelling', which is to say that Matt talks non-stop and at the halfway mark Paddy is finally allowed to speak.

We're joined by new co-host Paddy Carroll, who you may remember from the 'Concept Campaigns' episode!

This week we're picking up right where the 'Failing Forward' episode left off to talk about what you can do when the failure is so ultimate, so catastrophic, it results in a Total Party Kill.

How do you handle it in the moment? Where do you take the campaign from there? How do you set yourself up for success long before the TPK comes to pass?
