Dungeon Master's Apprentice

Explaining the rules and regulations of D&D to anyone who has no prior knowledge can be difficult, especially if that person is your parent, but we're going to try anyways! In this episode George and I set up the studio on a Mexican rooftop patio and talk about our shared and separate interests, our recent ocean fishing trip, and George's potential D&D character. It was a really fun episode to record, and if you liked it too make sure to leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts!

Our good buddy Tom is back this week for some casual chit-chat. We touch on D&D a few times throughout the episode, but we thought it would be fun to start a conversation and see where it took us. Throughout we talk about writing to different kinds of music, the classic summer vs winter debate, and sing Rough Trade's "High School Confidential."

Brett is back in the "studio" this week to discuss what kind of character he'll be playing for our upcoming campaign. Listen as we talk about subterranean gnome societies, our character naming strategies, figuring out voices, and making selections out of our comfort zones. We also dig through a box of old books I found at work. I promise it's more interesting than it sounds.

In this week's episode, we chat with our good pal John about our upcoming campaign. First, we sort of set the scene for what this world is going to look like before diving into the character that John is going to be playing. We also talk about making your table more inclusive, the new Pokémon game, and daylight savings time in Brazil.

After a bit of a hiatus, DMA is back with highly esteemed guest Justin Dudtschak for some cousinly chitchat that is all over the map. In this episode, Justin and I talk about the genre of adventure fiction and how it has evolved from world exploration to intergalactic sci-fi exploration. Also, we open up a D&D sourcebook I found at a comic book store and try to get a gist for its complicated plot line, we talk about the politics of archaeology, and I experience an allergy attack.

It's always a blast to have amazing guests like Justin on and I hope you all enjoy this show.

In the fourth installation of the World Building saga, Nathan and I discuss what our new campaign is going to look like. We've sidelined the Maze campaign for now in favour of a much more interesting idea, and we can't wait to get it started. We also talk about a recent reincarnation in our party, fantasy sports, and why Nathan's character Moredar has been intentionally rubbing people the wrong way.

As you know, we're big advocates for creativity here on DMA, so who better to talk to about the creative process than singer/ songwriter/ good friend Tom O'Leary? In this episode, Tom and I talk about collaboration and improvisation in both music and D&D and how much fun it is to sit around with your friends and just wing it! Of course, we get off topic and stumble ourselves into unrelated topics, but I'm sure you've come to expect that at this point. Look forward to more episodes with Tom as he creates his first character and experiences D&D for the first time.

What is it about D&D that separates itself from all other forms of storytelling? Is it the collaboration, the improvisation, or the randomness of the dice? This week, we're with Luke, Neil, and Brett to discuss how D&D is unlike any other narrative structure. We also discuss board games, memorable moments from our sci-fi campaign, and everyone's favourite children's series: Charlie Bone. This one's full of chuckles and haha's as well as some great pointers, so be sure to give it a listen!

It's been too long since we've talked to John, which is why we had to bring him back for this week's show. In this episode, John talks about a Brazilian RPG he's been very fixated on called Ordem Paranormal that he plans on teaching to myself and our friends. Listen in as he walks through the game's lore, its mechanics, and the intense moral quandaries it places on its players. 

Check out the first episode of the show on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uplnCYc0fDg if you wish to learn more about this intriguing RPG.

For this very special 50th episode, we've brought on a new friend, Matt, to talk about his experience as a DM. Oh, and I guess Brett is here too... We start off with some dice breakers to get to know one another a bit better before diving into some DM topics, such as handling parties of 8+ people, session planning essentials, and running effective combat. It was a pleasure to chat with Matt (and Brett) and we hope you enjoy this week's episode.
