Do you ever feel the urge to use your player knowledge to give your character an unfair advantage? Is meta-gaming the arch-nemesis of immersive storytelling, or can it be wielded for good?

This episode dives deep into the psychology behind meta-gaming, exploring the situations where it breaks the spell and the moments where it can actually benefit your campaign. We'll also equip you with "Tricks of the Trade," offering tips for DMs and players to navigate this sometimes tricky terrain.

Learn how to:

Use meta-gaming to enhance collaborative problem-solving and world-building.
Manage information flow to keep the focus on in-character decisions.
Embrace the unknown and create a truly immersive D&D experience.
