E162 - Dungeon Mastery - Stat Blocks: How to Assign, Define, and Align the Benign and Maligned Baseline Design Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Last time the It’s A Mimic! podcast discussed Dungeon Mastering, the panel of Dungeon Masters covered power creep and why you should manage the mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons more closely. This time, the DM’s tear apart the stat blocks and see what two decades of experience have taught them about reading between the lines when it comes to deciphering monster stats.

E161 - Port-FOE-lios - Hags: Vice Scream Crones Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast is going to zoom in on the hags that you can’t find in the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual: the Annis Hag, the Bheur Hag, and the Dusk Hag. The panel of Dungeon Masters has stirred the pot looking for every tasty morsel of information to be found, but some of the answers are definitely more horrifying than the others.

E158 - Off to the Races - A Million Reptilian Civilians Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast is going to crack open Volo’s Guide to Monsters and see what 5th Edition has to bring to the table when it comes to some of the reptilian anthropomorphic playable races. Okay, so Kobolds aren’t strictly reptilian, but they’re definitely a step further away from dragons than Dragonborn are, and we know from previous editions that Kobolds shed their skin like other reptiles and are cold-blooded, so this panel of Dungeon Masters is counting them as being just as reptilian as Lizardfolk and Yuan-ti Purebloods. Today’s episode is going to focus on these playable races from a Player perspective, so if you’d like deep dives into each of these races, we covered Kobolds in depth in Episodes 50 and 106, Lizardfolk in E112, and Yuan-ti in Episodes E113 and E114. These episodes are all available on your podcast apps or our YouTube page, as well.

E155 - Dungeon Mastery - Power Creep: Bigger, Harder, Deeper, Faster Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

Balancing has always been a major issue in tabletop game design, so this week on the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters discuss one of the subtle issues at new tables, and that’s Power Creep. It can be a little difficult to define, and it can definitely sneak up on Dungeon Masters, but this meta discussion should shine a little light on a topic that will be familiar to most seasoned Dungeons & Dragons players.

E154 - Port-FOE-lios - Hags: Set the Coven to 666 Degrees Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

In this second episode about Hags, the panel of Dungeon Masters is going to address the dark lady in the corner: The Night Hag. She’s a little bit different from the other Hags in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, but that doesn’t mean she’s any less insidious. If anything, she’s even worse. And by that, we mean better! You see, more than half of the It’s A Mimic! podcast has faced off against one of these nasty old crones, and chances are good that if you’ve played Curse of Strahd or Dungeon of the Mad Mage, you have as well.
