E105 - Mob Mentalities - Goblinoid Hosts: The Region’s Legion Strategians Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

Countless little goblins, lethargic and limited bugbears, and scores of allies and cohorts make up a good portion of the goblinoid host, but there's still one thing we haven't covered yet: Leadership. Who reigns over all the bugbear chiefs and goblin bosses? Hobgoblins, of course.

Dan and Adam sit in the warmth of their own Guild Hall, and discuss Hobgoblins and the Goblinoid Host in general, and what information Dungeon Masters might need in order to shine a spotlight on Goblinoids as an enemy mob! But there are too many monsters for just these two hosts to take on, so they've reached out to their own mob of Dungeon Masters who are littered throughout 5e's various locales, digging up details from every corner of the multiverse!

This episode covers the Hobgoblin, Raven, Hobgoblin Captain, Hobgoblin Warlord, Devastator, and Iron Shadow.

M013 – Mailbag of Holding - Aarakocra Jan 22, 2021

Show notes

It's a bird! It's a plane! No wait, it's a bird, kinda...? Holy crap it's a birdperson!

In this special mailbag episode, we congratulate our giveaway winner ( @onanymous ) by giving him the opportunity to control the topic of conversation! And he picked the 5e playable race that Dungeon Masters hate the most: Aarakocra! So with the limited lore, the difficult to find publication, and the lack of spotlight, what do we know about these bird people? Where do they come from, what can they do, and what do they want?

For players, DM's, and just lovers of Dungeons & Dragons lore, this episode covers everything published to date about the speedy fliers who just can't leave their Rod alone. Stay tuned for future opportunities where you may be able to control the flow of the podcast yourself!

M012 – Santa's Mailbag of Holding - Gear, Kits, and Tools Dec 25, 2020

Show notes

Happy Holidays!

Have you ever wondered why there's a 10-foot pole on the equipment list? Or how to craft Potions of Healing? Are you curious about why Alchemist's Fire is so famous, but so seemingly useless, or why poisons aren't being used more often? Have you scratched your head over how big a chest really is, which container is the best bang for your buck, or whether or not an iron pot is an effect smashing implement?

We're break the format a little this year to bring you a special mailbag episode on Christmas instead of an actual play! Our most frequently asked question is about using mundane items in Dungeons and Dragons, specifically the ones from the Player's Handbook, and why the items in the Adventuring Gear section are so important. Well, Dan and Adam sat down for this whopping 3-hour episode, and broke down all the tools, kits, and regular items that they could find, and what possible applications there are for them. You may just be surprised about how useful soap, oil, and a climber's kit are...

M011 - Mailbag of Holding - Dirty Business Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

I just... This episode is... I don't know. There are the regular jokes and D&D tips. sure, but things get real a couple of times, and some truths are revealed.

This is the most meta, self-indulgent, navel-gazing episode we've ever released, so... you're welcome? Yes, it's mostly D&D, and we tried to stay on topic, but with Brad, Dave, and Megan throwing the questions at us, you know it's going to get stupid. Now you get to see behind the scenes at It's A Mimic!, and we're really, really sorry.
