  • Pixies for the win?

    The guys and guests simply make so much sense, this is a solid lighthearted podcast with just enough info to be useful but enabling a prospective DM more than enough freedom to do so much more

    That pixie episode could definitely be a paid one shot

    It’s probably up there with honey heist

    So for those in the know, grant howett will be insane not to reach out to these guys.

  • Cringy political preaching spoils the fun. Every few minutes, the immersion and coherence of the topic is shattered by gender ideology and politically correct commentary.

  • Definitely recommend all new GM’s to listen

    Definitely an entertaining listen. The show follows a 3 step process

    Step 1: Identifies the monster

    Step 2: is it an monster/what would you change

    Step 3: Pvp with the monster in a one shot

    While I’m not a new GM, the step 3 for planting ideas on how to use a monster you haven’t used before is super helpful.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Treant
Q: How would you change Treants in Dungeons and Dragons?
There's a suggestion to introduce different types of trees with unique abilities and possibly give them combat capabilities like guns.
Treant
Q: Are Treants really monsters?
They are often seen as protectors of nature but can also exhibit monstrous behavior when defending their territory.
Treant
Q: What is an Awaken Tree?
Awaken Trees are trees that have been granted sentience through magic, particularly by the spell Awaken, allowing them to gain consciousness and act on their own behalf.
Lich
Q: How would you change liches in 5th edition?
They need to clarify what they want—either they are inverted death or they want power, but those ideas are too big and too intertwined in the current setup.
Lich
Q: Are liches monsters?
Yes, they are fueled by a need for power and think of themselves as god kings, deciding who lives and who dies.
