    Ep 50: Pod of Many Things Nov 29, 2018
    Show notes

    It's a mailbag episode! We. Answer. Your. Letters.

    But first, DMs Rob and Matt chat about surprise Yog-Sothoth as well as the new errata and unearthed arcana for DnD 5e. Here's a link to Matt's homebrew rules for 5e Naval Combat. Also, because we live in Hellworld, we talk more about the Flaming Sphere of Shit that is White Wolf (now featuring Instagram despot Ramzan Kadyrov).

    Here comes the letters:

    Jai asks, "Did you here some other stuff about Nolan T. of Roll20 being a jerk?" [00:21:00]

    Sally asks, "I have a player with a character with a build centered around disarming enemies that doesn't work mechanically until the build has reached a higher level. What should I do to alleviate his dissatisfaction until the character comes into its own?" [00:26:30]

    Sally also asks, "How do I create memorable combat encounters for my players?" [00:35:45]

    Anthony asks, "I enjoy the interstitial music on the podcast. Can I find a list of the songs and artists?" [00:39:00]

    Darrin asks, "What's a good one-shot to run for my parents?" [00:41:45]

    Other Matt asks the greatest question of all, "How great are we?" [00:48:20]

    Conner asks, "I'm making custom werewolf race at a player's request. Should I share this race with the other player's in the game or the let the player keep their lycanthropy a secret?" Also, send us your campaign bibles!!! [00:51:40]

    Scott asks, "I have a final encounter with my campaign's big bad coming up. What level should my characters be?" [01:01:05]

    Ep 49: D&D is an eSport now? Nov 21, 2018
    Show notes

    Hoooooo boy. So remember back when the CEO of Hasbro said that D&D was going to be the new "E-Sport?" Well, it didn't take long for someone to try to put that together.

    DMs Matt and Rob watched the very first competitive PvP game of D&D on Twitch and are here to talk about it. We aren't saying you can't have competitive RPGs. You can. But, uh, this ain't it, chief.

    Music:

    Ep 48: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Mage (plus Ravnica) Nov 15, 2018
    Show notes

    Matt and Rob review two new releases from Wizards of the Coast: The Dungeon of the Mad Mage and The Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica.

    NO SPOILERS! If you are planning on playing Mad Mage, do not be afraid! Your DMs only talk about the adventure in general terms.

    Megadungeons! What are they? What types of players and dungeons masters will enjoy this type of adventure? Matt and Rob discuss the benefits and limitations of megadungeon-style adventure and what you can steal for your own campaigns. DM of None recommends Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

    Ravnica! It's not great. Also, we complain about how you can't be a Plainswalker, the most obvious thing for a group of heroes. New races and new classes! Lots of centaurs but the cen-towers have fallen.

    Do you love Ravnica? Please let us know why!

    Ep 47: D&D is a bicycle and other tortured metaphors Nov 06, 2018
    Show notes

    After some uninformed speculation about what the announced 2019 D&D campaign setting book will be, Rob and Matt discuss a recent article in Quartzy, "Dungeons & Dragons Created the Blueprint Nerd Culture Still Follows Today" by Dave Gershgorn.

    Q&A time! If you could DM for any three celebrities, who would they be? What video game needs a TTRPG rulebook? Can a DM metagame?

    Ep 45: Water Heist, Deep Dragon Oct 24, 2018
    Show notes

    Matt and Rob review the newest adventure from Wizards of the Coast, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist!

    WARNING! Spoilers begin at 45:10.

    But first, we gird ourselves for a Tales from the Loop TV series and a Wheel of Time TV series. Matt shares his bafflement with TORG: Eternity.

    Now, on to Waterdeep...Dragon Heist is a welcome departure from the all the other 5e adventures...modular antagonists...it's so short (and that's a good thing)......non-adventuring things for your adventurers to do...walking the fine line between pure sandbox and straight linear adventures...is this too complex...where are our criminals...Waterdeep is a city of LAWS...planning for when your players do nothing...inaction should never be the best choice for your PCs...modularity is still in beta but better to go down swinging...we recommend Daughter Peep: Flagon Iced!

    Ryan asks, "Is the Dynamic Lighting option in Roll20 worth it?" [21:00]

    Abstract Figure writes, "I love old school throwing weapons and boomerangs from movies of the 80s and 90s. What's the best way to put these iconic items into a game for my kids?" (He also sent us a link to some great drawings!) [25:30]

    Adam asks, "How do I get players more engaged with NPCs and make them curious about my world?" [35:00]

    Matt and Rob are back with some slightly more advanced tips to help you as a game master! But first, a listener asks, "Can I run a game with two swapping Dungeon Masters?"

    On to the tips: creating a recap blog...playing to your strengths...you are using your DM screen wrong...the freedom of rolling in the open...binders full of NPC names...player name tents...getting to know what makes your players tick...mastering the "character spotlight" and the quick "around the table check-in."
