In this episode, we talk about the utilization of "curses" in your TTRPG campaign. Whether it is a cursed item or quest, "curses" are a great ways to tell deeper stories and enrich campaigns. If you're playing a science-fiction campaign, the same "curse" can be a "glitch" or a "virus" that has affected a piece of your tech or equipment. Either way, this is applicable for all TTRPGs.
