Dungeon Master's Apprentice episodes

  • 89. Moving w Mike Cook
    In this episode Mike and I talk all things moving, both D&D related and not. Listen as we talk about Mike's recent move from an apartment to a house and how it has affected our personal life and our D&D life. New table, new seating arrangement, new commutes... all factors that contribute to the D&D experience in interesting ways. We also decided to play some more 20 Questions, so look forward to that in the second half of the episode.

  • 88. Would You Rather/ 20 Questions w Mike Cook

    On this week's episode Mike and I play a couple of silly goofy games. We start off by playing Would You Rather with questions relating to D&D and then move into playing 20 Questions (also related to D&D). Although it's more of a casual episode, you can find nuggets of solid advice sprinkled throughout.

    Also, I put more time into editing this episode than any in the past, including the one where I remix Luke's voice into a song about sound checks. Your appreciation is appreciated.

  • 87. Creating Your Own Expanded Universe w Mike Cook

    Hope you didn't forget about us! But we're back again in Nova Scotia with Mike to talk about how he's taken his homebrew setting and made it feel like it belongs to both the DM and the players. We also talk about long road trips, Skyrim, and broken washing machines.

  • 86. Back by Popular Demand w Lexy McConnell

    Almost a month later (sorry) we're back with Lexy to talk about switching from DM to player, trying out new TTRPGs, crying during anime, and terrible British accents.

  • 85. We Live Our Best Lives w Lexy McConnell

    This week we're blessed to be joined by my girlfriend Lexy (yes, you read that right). Seeing as this probably won't be her last guest appearance, we take our time to introduce you to her history with fiction, fantasy, and D&D. We then spend most of our Fiction Fixation giving our review of the movie Barbarian, which didn't exactly blow us away.

  • 84. AI Generated Characters w Hunter McIlmurray

    The rise of artificial intelligence, for better or for worse, has been highly prevalent on social media as of late. While there are many ways in which it could be detrimental to artists and their livelihood, we thought it would be fairly harmless to use it to generate a character's backstory. In this episode, our guest Hunter, who is new to the game of D&D, generates a new backstory for his character after accidentally deleting his old one, and the final product is worth checking out. Of course, it wouldn't be an episode of DMA if we didn't have a quick round of Fiction Fixation at the end.

  • 83. Reading and Writing w Emily and Sarah

    We're back with two highly anticipated guests for a destination podcast in Mexico! My sisters join me to talk about their colourful D&D characters before we go into a lengthy discussion about what we've been reading lately and our aspirations to someday sit down and write. We also talk about anime, Taylor Swift, and imposter syndrome.

  • 82. The Dice Draft w Mike and Andrew

    Ever wonder what the best D&D dice is but realized you didn't have an effective way to reach a conclusion? DMA has got your back! This week we're with Mike and Andrew to rank the best kind of dice through an elimination-style bracket tournament. Listen to us intensely debate, say, the difference between a d4 and a d8 based on frequency of use, shape, and roll-feel. Who will win? The answer might surprise you (but it probably won't.)

  • 81. Monster Madness w Andrew and Mike

    After a week off we're back with a special episode of DMA featuring two esteemed guests. Andrew and Mike have crafted a team of four CR 1/2 monsters to face off in a bracket-style tournament refereed by myself. Tune in to find out who becomes the ultimate winner of Monster Madness!

  • 80. Getting into Character w Mike Cook

    We're back with a back-to-back appearance from Mike Cook to talk about getting invested in your characters, getting invested in other people's characters,  and the benefits and joys of playing D&D on a regular basis.

    We also had a Fiction Fixation that may or may not have slightly diverted into a "let's play" of Spider-Man for PS5.
