Show notes

In this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters sit down and discuss the darkest plane: The Shadowfell. From mood and atmosphere to encounter ideas and campaign hooks, the DM's peer into the mists and unveil the mysteries behind everyone's favourite gothic horror setting. Topics include who created the Shadowfell, The Raven Queen, and the Greek Fates!

The discussion wraps up with a look at Death House, Curse of Strahd, and Strahd von Zarovich, himself, as the DM's try to give some hints for new players and new DM's, and talk about their own personal experiences. Everyone has some fun with pronunciations, while Adam tries to stay spoiler-free, Dan gives a quick breakdown of the Shadar-Kai, and Terry pines over his non-existent goth girlfriend.

E038 - Dragon Mastery - Black Dragons: A Pain in the Acid Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Back in Black! The panel of Dungeon Masters is back with a look at Black Dragons in 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. These sadistic creatures rise from their wretched lairs and will melt your face with the horrid spew that erupts from their ghastly maws. But enough about our hosts...

There is a wealth of information about Black Dragons, and the DM's cover lairs and regional effects, social and environmental opportunities, and combat tactics that are sure to destroy players. With Dan still out for the count and Megan sitting in, this episode focuses on what is potentially the most evil of all dragons, and interesting ways that you can inject these giant magical creatures into your game.

E037 - Dungeon Mastery - Putting the Fun in Funeral Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

This episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast introduces a very special guest host, Megan! As she joins Terry and Adam to discuss death in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, the panel continues their march toward Halloween by looking at what character death is like from both a player's perspective and a Dungeon Master's. Sometimes player character death is inevitable in this fantasy roleplaying game, and the panel of DM's sit try to take some of the mystery away from it.

When a player character dies in D&D, it affects characters, players, DM's, plot lines, themes, relationships, gear, and more. The roundtable touches briefly on ways to use magic (see Episode 37a - Health and Resurrection for a deeper dive), how to handle death mid-combat, running funerals, and trying to stay away from being adversarial at the table. So before tempers run high and Hit Points run low, stop and think about what you're going to do when the grim reaper takes your mini away forever.
