S003 - Meet The DM's - Monsters Jan 23, 2019

Show notes

Today’s Episode:
It’s madness as the Dungeon Masters continue to discuss their favourite and least favourite aspects of Dungeons and Dragons in part three of the Meet the DM’s series. This time round, it’s Monsters.

Summary:
After a brief explanation of why kobolds are a great addition to the game, things derail quickly as Adam and Terry take on Dan over the mechanics of 5th Edition beholders. The DM’s then move on to briefly discuss evil chromatic dragons and some basic ideas of homebrews, before launching into their least favourite. Two of the three DMs choose to dissect what’s wrong with some of the lawful creatures in the monster manual, with a solid rant in the middle about low-level undead. The general consensus seems to be that flavour and imagination is more important to the panel than mechanics, but there are definitely some sticky subjects!

S002 - Meet The DM's - Races Jan 22, 2019

Show notes

Today’s Episode:
The panel of Dungeon Masters gets together again to explore the concept of character races in 5e. From gnomes to elves, this episode covers the likes and dislikes of the DMs, and spends some time off the rails on the difference between halflings and gnomes.

Summary:
Controversy runs rampant as Adam continues the discussion of favourite and least favourite character choices from the Player’s Handbook, this time focusing on races. After initiative is rolled, Adam touts the benefits of 5e dwarves, Dan surprises everyone by not choosing half-orcs as his favourite, and Terry pitches humans as the best option for a race. But when experience disagrees with the newest DM and the group goes off topic about half-dwarves, things start to heat up. After ripping into elves and even further polarizing choices, the entire episode comes to a head as the three argue about halflings, and make precious little headway in convincing each other.

S001 - Meet The DM's - Classes Jan 21, 2019

Show notes

Today’s Episode:
As an introduction to both the show and its hosts, all three Dungeon Masters get together to break down their favourite and least favourite classes in 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. Some of the answers are surprising, even for each other, as they briefly go over both spellcasters and martial warriors that they love and hate. Roll initiative!

Summary:
Adam pitches the idea of introducing themselves, not by giving extensive autobiographies or discussing old campaigns, but by exhibiting their interests in Dungeons and Dragons and talking about their favourite classes. He then proceeds to dote on bards, before Dan declares his love for two polar opposite classes and Terry talks about his love for one kind of spellcaster specifically. It isn’t until the panel starts discussing their least favourites that the different personalities really start to clash. Two of the DM’s can’t seem to agree on which divine magic user is the worst, while another takes potshots at everyone’s favourite rage machine. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Who just can’t stay on topic? This is the first episode in the five-part series that will show you who these Dungeon Masters are and what they’re all about.
