House Beer!... Is Homebrew Right for Your TTRPG?

This week, Tori, Arcadia, and Malcolm are all in the studio for a lively discussion on homebrewing your TTRPG—what it is, what it isn’t, and when it shines at the table.

We dig into the wonders of “The Faces of Tori” and find ourselves delightfully lost in sinking fields early and often. Homebrewing is accessible to everyone and can elevate your game, your world, and your table’s overall enjoyment. You don’t have to be a master worldbuilder to effectively homebrew rules, NPCs, encounters, or adapted mechanics that enhance your group’s experience.

There’s a real freedom in setting aside the shackles of RAW, but it’s equally important to understand which rules you’re changing and why—player agency and immersion depend on it.

We also talk hooks: why they matter so much, and where to find inspiration when you need it most. Tori shares how she uses tools, tropes, and fandoms to craft an amazing homebrew one-shot for our table—and why pivoting is an essential part of the brew!
