E179 - Off to the Races - Orcs: Playing Dumb Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

There is quite a bit of lore about Orcs, and episodes 15, 101, and 102 really dive into the lore and societies that are available in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition so far. Episode 82 covered what it means to play Half-Orcs, but what about playing the full blown thing? Well, this episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast takes a look at all the different kinds of playable Orcs that you can use to build a character, and the panel of Dungeon Masters is going to see what roleplay opportunities exist out there for our muscle-bound brawlers.

M021 - Mailbag of Holding - Evil is a Spectrum Jun 20, 2022

Dave, Megan, and James (with an assist from Jeff) take us to a very vivid place after they actually answer some D&D-related questions. We, at It's A Mimic! apologize profusely for this episode, and we are launching a full investigation into who put these three lunatics on the same episode... Ugh.

M020 - Mailbag of Holding - Way Too Much About Feet and BDSM Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

From American food to DMPC's, from the history of the podcast to comparing bread and potatoes, from sexy beholders to firearms in 5th Edition, this special mailbag episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast runs head first into 20 random questions that you, the listeners, have willed upon us. This panel of Dungeon Masters thanks you from the bottom of their [whatever has replaced their dead, blackened hearts].

E176 - Dungeon Mastery - Variant Rules: When Characters Become Diplomatic and Emphatic, Charismatic and Dramatic, or Traumatic and Erratic Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the It’s A Mimic! Podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters cracks open the DMG, Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, and the Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica to dig into some more variant rules. There are tons of them in the published material, and some of common online homebrew rules address issues that there are actually rule options for. This episode covers variant rules surrounding communication and reputation, and revisits the discussion on madness..

E175 - Port-FOE-lios - NPC: Now Presenting Combat Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast takes a sidestep to finally address the most common kind of enemy in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: the humanoid NPC. Sometimes they betray, sometimes they get betrayed. Sometimes they’re lethal, and some they’re regretful. Everyone has run into them at one point or another, but the panel of Dungeon Masters is going to try to break down new and interesting ways to go about using them. This episode marks the first half of the conversation, but it’s important to know the broad strokes before you dive headlong into the nitty gritty details.

E174 - Class - The Game Changer for Ranger Danger May 24, 2022

Show notes

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast returns to Rangers, but the panel of Dungeon Masters has to break the mold for our class-based episodes a little bit and focus on the updates from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. There are a lot of new updates and variants for the 5th Edition Ranger, and the Beastmaster gets some new companions as well. So, string your bow, whistle for your wolf, and don your furs, because it’s time to revisit Rangers once again.

E173 - Class - Fighters: Schleppin’ Weapons and Wielding Shieldings May 17, 2022

Show notes

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast heads to the Sword Coast and the distant realm of Exandria to cover the Fighter subclasses listed there, before looking at the pages of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything to look at new options in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. It’s not all swinging swords and surging action, though, as the panel of Dungeon Masters has discovered. So grab your heavy armour and push the nerd with the spellbook out of the way, because this episode launches into three more subclasses, as well as the Optional Class Features offered in Tasha’s.
