E148 - Dungeon Mastery - Homebrew: Recipes for Arguments Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

The It’s A Mimic! podcast is joined again by our friend Brian, the Bearded Nerd, to discuss more homebrewing in D&D 5th Edition! Last time the panel of Dungeon Masters discussed this topic, it was a broader discussion about what homebrewing is and what to watch out for. That episode wrapped up with some tips on worldbuilding, but now it’s finally time to get into homebrewing classes, spells, items, and monsters!

E147 - Port-FOE-lios - Hags: A Little Auntie Social Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast focuses on one of the most popular Big Bad Evil Guys at Wizards of the Coast: Hags. They’ve been lurking around in a handful of published adventures, and there is a surprising amount of lore and information about them in 5th Edition. Enough, in fact, that the panel of Dungeon Masters had to break it all out into multiple episodes. This one focuses on the true OG’s (that stands for Old Girls) which are the Green Hags. This episode also dives into the murky waters of Sea Hags and Sea Furies, and the nightmares that they bring.
