WITD 101.36a Controlled Puff61 views@Mistress_Marion for coining the term "controlled puff". This concept while not in my book, WITD, compliments the controlled puffs that transition to effective dungeon play. Learn to throw controlled steps of gradually building intensity.

WITD 101.30 To Crack or Not To Crack62 viewsTo Crack or Not To Crack looks at creating a synthesis with your whip in the dungeon. Nuisance cracking, excessive practice cracking and thoughtless whip throwers have in some parts of the world given whips a bad reputation. This short practice session talks through letting the music influence whether you crack or do not crack to create a compatible dungeon set. Secret Garden, Journey, and Rammstein are compared.
