Welcome back, everyone! This week we talk about something that everyone probably has either encountered so far, or will encounter some day: personal failure at the gaming table. Not bad dice rolls, not mistakes during character creation, but rather mistakes that you as a player or DM make that are bad for the game and the group. Sometimes you make a bad call or you get stuck in a rut, sometimes the whole group falls apart and you have to pick up the pieces. This episode is all about that, and we give our best advice on how to move forward!

One last thing- be sure to get yourself a copy of Crit Academy's Unearthed Tips & Tricks book! It's a great product, and I helped write it!
So let's pick up the pieces and meet back up next week!

Question(s) answered this episode:
1. What are some telltale signs you are in a rut as a DM?
2. Gabe & Jeff, at my last game, I was "That Guy". I managed to piss off the entire party and the Dungeon Master. What can I do moving forward to make things right, and, hopefully, make this sort of thing never happen again?
3. How do you deal with DM doubts after a group completely falls out?
