We got a genuine bonafide DOUBLE FEATURE for you today, folks! Two topics for the price of one, a value that we here at "You're Welcome to Try" are more than happy to provide! First is a "Yes Man" exercise, where our intrepid Jerod has to take on a hypothetical situation as a Dungeons and Dragons player that's only allowed to say "yes" to things. Second is a discussion on the value of existing D&D lore VS a Dungeon Master's homebrew. Which is better? Which is worse? What are the pros and cons for each?

Do you like Dungeons and Dragons? Do you like Improv? Do you like the game SLAY THE SPIRE? Well, you're in luck, because today's episode of the You're Welcome to Try Podcast combines all three in one convenient package for your amusement! Join us as we delve into Jerod's experience crafting a dungeon crawling "Slay the Spire" like game for his players, and how some surprisingly fun and interesting storytelling and character moments came out of it!

On this episode of "You're Welcome to Try" we talk about player conflict. Within the game and above the table. We want everyone to have fun, but a story without conflict can get boring real fast, and player vs player conflict can be a nice spice to add to the mix. But just like any spice, if you add too much or the wrong one the whole dish could be ruined! When is it good? When is it bad? And when can it get ugly? And what can you do as a player or a Dungeon Master to facilitate it or solve it?

Has this ever happened to you? You're starting a game of D&D, when all of a sudden, your Dungeon Master surprises you with some improv warm-up games as a little pre-session warm-up. If it hasn't, you may be entitled to listen to this episode of "You're Welcome to Try" where one of our hosts, James Fite, talks about how these games Jerod tried out helped him and the other players at their table feel inspired to make choices and embrace the silliness more. Call 1-800-WELCOME-TO-TRY... or just listen to this episode because that number doesn't exist.
