Lots of stories this week. Christopher went to Scarab Con and met a bunch of people. Dan & Kristian played Fabula Ultima, a JRPG. Kristian talks about Delve, Jay almost TPK’s his players, and Christopher gets chased by a black bear.
This week the talk is on Dungeons & Dragons books being converted to other systems. Do these books lose something in translation to other systems? Also more Caverns of Thracia talk from Jay and Chris talks about failing to get the miniature he wanted.
A new years is upon us. The guys talk about a bunch of variant rules in Dungeons & Dragons, the beginning of meta-magic, and Dan tells a story about a homebrew D&D game he’s in. It involves a lot of big monster. At the end of the podcast the guys talk Stranger Things, so you can avoid spoilers for the finale.
The guys take a stab at their favorite roleplaying game products of the year. Maybe some Dungeons & Dragons, Shadowdark, or possibly Dungeon Crawl Classics. Listen in to see what you missed out on in 2025.
It’s a Shadowdark holiday this week and the guys are celebrating the shortest day of the year. Christopher talks about board games needing apps to play and why it’s a bad idea. Also a look at keeping up with the massive amount of D&D lore and Jay’s D&D party actually dying.
This week the guys talk about Nimble. The newest Dungeons & Dragons clone on the market. It takes D&D 5E and makes it easier to use. Is it worth the swap however? Also Christopher talks about how he doesn’t love his Christmas One Shot anymore and why Duergar don’t drink.
The guys look at the new Dungeons & Dragons book Eberron: Forge of the Artificer. At 112 pages it’s kind of slim, but does it have content? Also how to store miniatures so you can find them and a magical blowgun that will ruin your players characters day.
The guys focus heavily on some new Shadowdark stuff that is coming. The Necromancer class, new Priest spells, and Cursed Scroll 6. Also Christopher talks about a new live play series that has a Gofundme put together by a bunch of famous Youtubers.
This week Dan is on Vacation. The other guys talk about the history of the Pale Night. An ancient power who ruled the Abyss long before the current Demon Lords. What is she and how has she maintained power in the Abyss for so long?
Wizards of the Coase released new Dungeons & Dragons content, but locked it behind a paywall. Not surprisingly the grognards here are upset. Also we get tales from Christopher and from Kristian about their own campaigns. Lessons to learn are that undead are dangerous in large groups.
