In today's episode of Dice and Quills, we dive into one of the most important — and often most overlooked — elements of TTRPG storytelling: creating villains your players will never forget.
I’ll break down the essential ingredients of a great villain, share real-world examples from my own time behind the Game Master’s screen, and reveal the common mistakes that can sabotage even the best ideas.
Whether you’re building your first campaign or refining a world you've crafted for years, this episode will help you create antagonists who feel real, raise the stakes, and keep players talking long after the final battle ends.
Sharpen your quills, ready your dice — and let's create legends together.
