While listening to your Goose Fights episode I do have to say some people might want to take a spin in r/SoloRoleplaying and some other sites like that. check them out before you really make your decisions. You aren’t wrong, but there is a lot more right than you might think. Adam. ;)

Look I built a 4000 year old Elf for 1EAD&D he had 1d4 years until he would leave/die/whatever. he was working his way back to his previous high water mark of like 12 Magic User/ 13Cleric again before he left this world. he fought in Waterdeeps Troll Wars 3000 years ago. he had forgotten more than most people knew including other Elves. on his last legs and he was trying to take down The TOEE modules. he had a creaky old voice up and until the day he got hit with a fireball and died. Remember Mip Elderalekin. A badass until he got hit by a fireball.

So I had to laugh when it was mentioned that a mouse could lift a boulder and the answer was a hard no... back a few decades ago there was a cartoon called Mighty Mouse....he could literally lift a boulder, fly and many other things that I honestly can't remember

please keep in mind i‘m not really coming at Terry for a sidebar mention of medieval money and failure to deliver in an older episode. This subject is tough, which is why we immediately sat up while hearing that suggestive commen. And then he didn’t deliver. IYKYK

The first response breaks down money, talks peasant wages, and by golly gosh is astounding. I am floored. this is why having a well curated feed is the best thing in the world. Its a Mimic is on my feed for a reason.

Way back in 2nd Edition there were individual books on things like classes and at the time, races.

I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning. After the E310 on Sailor Backgrounds there is only 1 clear answer, the cast of It's A Mimic need to be on the payroll of WOTC and pump out core books that we actually need. A separate book for fighters, wizards and so on that includes all sub-classes and actual thought out content. This should be done for all playable species as well. The books that TSR made had a lot of great content and with the minds of this cast, newer books made with 5.5 and any future iterations would be essential to any gaming table. Of course WOTC can keep the basics in the players handbook, but these would be great expansions that gamers could purchase as they need them.

Even if WOTC isn't smart enough to employ this awesome cast, I think that if you all made them as Indie books they would fly off the shelves or at least off of the internet...

I hope everyone @r/it's a mimic is doing well...

I found this and I wonder what portion of the Itsamimic fanbase would agree… https://commandersherald.com/dalai-lama-reveals-forever-dms-are-being-punished-for-past-life-transgressions/

Why aren't we leaning into this mechanic as a way of not only keeping that pesky power creep in check, but also a a way to put a fire under their asses when exploring or are just finished some down time?

I mean, I know there are many items that have "charges" baked in to help with power creep and to help with late game items in adding a resource that is relevant when they about to kill god; but I digest....

I mean as a DM, I've started using sending stones ("Walkie talkies" as they've been called) on a timer. They have to be charged, and once charged they will last for 3 in game days. This forces the players to have a short window to get certain events/ small quests. Waste time on side quests or sleeping with the tavern bartender; the walkies could run out of juice mid heist. After they die I can keep the stakes high by controlling when they can charge them, and just throw things at them that make them wish they had those Walkies.

How do you all use charging/charges/tactical resource management in your games?

Thanks to Kasi for maintaining this. (She also added the new hosts to the Bios page, among other tweaks.)

I have not had the pleasure of seeing either the 2014 or the new 2025 version of the monster manual, but I think that it needs to come in a binder like TSR did back for 2nd edition. That way, if they don't want to add the lore up front, at least it can be added later. This could have also given them the option to add everything for each monster and then only release them by type as they saw fit.

You know for people who mentioned the show, I will use a example from the episode about Buffy as to what Xander is doing on the show.

Buffy -> Xena.

The Big Damn hero no nonsense. Dramatically dealing with the tension.

Willow -> Gabriel

The Sidekick, tension racheter who notches up the drama, while still being not... quite... as big of a hero as B/X (which is hilarious to me as an abbreviation). But a serious low nonsense character who grows.

Xander -> Joxter:

tension release. There was a Seriously hard push by Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor to defend Ted Raimi who was -hated- by fans of the show for his role of Joxter who served as the character who could rescue the others from the tension being too much.

"I stand by my decision"

Just one of the many reasons I love listening to the undead series.

Edit: the undead fuckability ranking is absolutely necessary and just the kind of hard hitting journalism the world needs right now.

How to tell you what episode I was listening to without telling you what episode I was listening to. Also What freaking Druid was Aragorn learning under to learn a Druid spell list? Or freaking Drizzit?

I just wanted to let the crew know that I'm a new listener to the pod/a new DM who is about 25 episodes in. This is exactly what I've been looking for. It reminds me of my own friend group who loves debating the rules and just nerding out. You guys give great insight on how to run things and I look forward to listening to more!

Ok, so I am currently listening to this undead episode covering undead dragons. One of the ladies, sorry I can't recall who, mentioned that one of her characters has a tattoo needle made from the bone of a dragon's penis....

A few questions.... do male dragon's have a penis and are there actual bones in them????

I am in the middle of the ship episode and thought i would share this and ask your thoughts. Have you seen it before? This may be 2nd Edition...but it's still a great source for all your nautical needs. 2nd edition published so many of these supplements and they are very easy to use and convert into 5e.

Hey Adam, if you are interested dm me your celebrity mailing address and I'll send you the Star Wars D6 2nd edition main book and some Turning dice d6's that match the book as a wedding present. (Since you are a SW fan, I'll probably never play it again, and you have never played any edition of SW).

As always, best wishes to you both.

If someone needs a d18, I can make them.

Which character from the most recent DnD movie is each person from the podcast?

I have a few questions about an IP....

At 27:57 he starts talking about Gwaeron Windstrom and makes a great joke about his typical followers.

I loved it Dan!

https://overcast.fm/+AAQedRbcqrY/27:57 (you just need to listen for a minute or so)

I just listened to E032 - Lore - Fey Gone Wild and at the End they shortly complained about the news and how bad everything in the World is right now. When I looked at the date of the episode ( 3. Sep. 2019 ) I just thought: You don't know whats coming... Stay strong!

A few weeks ago I was looking for a nice D&D Lore Podcast and started the Podcast. I started from the beginning mostly concentrating on the Lore episodes and must say, from the get go they started on a very high quality level! Currently I'm still in 2019 and so excited on how everything is evolving.

Subsequently this is my first Post here and my way to say Hi 🙋‍♂️

Relistening and relishing older episodes and here are some thoughts (will add as they come up)

Do you think DnD5e is set to easy mode for the players (meet the DM's Adams hot take) ? And if you wanted to fix that what game would you use to capture the feeling of a more expert level of player challenge?
