Busy Addults

Homebrew items, places, races, weapons....

So if you've been a fan for more than a few episodes, you'll know we are a homebrew family at Busy Addults, so we wanted to explore some of it with you. In this episde, we want to go over some awesome homebrew items and builds that we think would work out REALLY great for some of our campaigns.

If you're not familiar with such amazing homebrew things or your DM just wants to use official works from Wizards, check them out and convince your DM to stop being lame and have some fun! It is a fantasy world with dragons and magic after all.

While you're at it share your favorite, or least favorite, homebrew things. Those could be weapons, items, builds, worlds, campaigns or anything else you can think of. We'd love to hear it!

Ever wanted to be in a horror world created by psychos?

Well we did and WHAT KIND OF WORLD DID WE CREATE?! In this world, we live in the taffy mines underground, where all currency has been replaced by something.... unconventional, but somehow Kohl's Cash is still viable? Also, "nose tricks" and "hand stands" have become necessary skills.

We've got our guest, The Frenchman, on for this one as him, Rae, Monkey and Yakha create this new world on the fly using the rules created by @FLoaBComic on Twitter for his game, You Awaken in a Strange Place. In this game, you create the world and every skill being used for it's entirety, at character creation. Feel free to create your own worlds and share them with us!

We're not Min/Max players, but please listen...

Min/Maxing characters is for those that want to get EVERYTHING they can out of heir characters, however that isn't fun to us. We enjoy the characters that have flaws, that contribute to not only the fights, but also the story. When we make Gimp characters, we're creating a narrative for the story and helping the DM flesh out their world even further.

On the flipside though, don't make your character so flawed that they hurt the party with no benefits at all. Instead, be the perfect soldier as long as your party truly needs it. Either way, HAVE FUN!

It was bound to happen...

We have a guest on today's episode! We've brought on our friend, The Frenchman, to join us and tell us his story of D&D, video games and other nerdy times in his life. THIS MAN is hilarious and we truly miss playing D&D with the French bastard.

Look out for a fun One-Shot featuring Rae, Monkey, Yakha and The Frenchman in a crazy, randomly generated world in a Taffy Mine world where Kohl's doesn't exist, but their Kphl's cash does?

The DMs have spoken!

So you want to know how the Busy Addults DMs build their worlds, prepare for their sessions and deal with murder hobos. As DMs, you've gotta think on your toes when a player wants to do something incredible (or incredibly stupid).

How do you prepare your campaign worlds, characters, sessions and for the inevitable player going off track? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter @BusyAddults !

POP CULTURE ONE SHOTS! Do we have to say more?

Alright, I guess we'll say more. Rae posted on our Busy Addults Twitter page the question:

What random piece of media/pop culture do you really want to run a one shot of?#dnd #ttrpg #oneshot— Busy Addults Podcast (@BusyAddults) December 27, 2020

And you answered with some of your favorite worlds, such as Fallout, Gundam, Buffy, The Witcher, fighting the top 3 memes of all time and way more! So, we took it and ran! We talk about about some of our favorite one shots, pop culture worlds and what we would absolutely love to play.

If you missed out, make sure you're following Busy Addults on Twitter to put in your two-sense in the next community question. If you have your own ideas for episodes, let us know! We would love to hear them.

We're talking about Multi-classing boys, girls and goblins!

Multi-classing has been a huge part of D&D and Pathfinder over the years, but with 5e, is it really necessary? I mean, sure you can pump that Ranger up with a nice dip in Rogue (or really anything), but do the pros out weigh the cons of losing that capstone ability?

And what about for role playing? Did your fighter all of a sudden unlock these magical abilities one night, or is it something they learned how to do after years of studying? Or can you just all of a sudden control things with your mind because why the hell not?

Let us know what you think and what your favorite multi-class over the years has been over on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook!

The D&D Community is CRAZY! You can decide if it's crazy good or bad.

So this episode is coming out a bit late, but here we are talking about great and ridiculous the D&D Community can be. Tasha's Cauldron of Everything came out in November and man did it shake things up. If you don't know about all the controversial "discussions", you're not a part of THAT community, so thank you for being great.

Who doesn't love a good cantrip?

Cantrips are a HUGE part of every spellcaster's identity. Some are almost a necessity and we weigh in on what our favorite cantrips are in Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Not really much to talk about here except we all know what the Warlock is going to pick....

Let us know what your favorite, or least favorite cantrip is, because everyone has an opinion and we want to hear it!

Merry Christmas from the Lich of Youville!

In this one shot, Rae takes the gang, plus a guest, to the wonderful village of Youville (copyrights be damned). A terrible wizard has taken over the roll of (reverse?) Santa Claus and the people of Youville give him presents to appease him and to protect the town.

After 100 years of this, he is about to ascend to immortality by becoming a Lich and kidnaps one of the townspeople to become his wife. So the crackpot team of Barendd Mistletoe, Xavier Tinselbottom, The Candy Man and Twinkletoes Tinseltits go to save the girl and stop the Lich from taking over the world!
