Whether it's for character building or to fill the void left by an unplanned session, using the concept of a bottle episode can serve your story well. From combats thrown in to buy time to situations and prompts that help players build out their character's arc, this is a tool every storyteller should have in their arsenal. In this episode, Sarah and Morgan discuss what bottle episodes mean for writers and GMs as well as examples of how to implement this tool in your next session.
