Finding Your Inner Cultist in D&D 5e
Hello! Thanks for joining us for our first official episode of the Build An OpenWorld podcast!
It made perfect sense that my first guest be my brother, Sawyer. We both learned about GURPS together when we were kids, we have been obsessed with tabletop board games for most of our lives and he was my first DM in a game of Dungeons and Dragons.
Just like me, Sawyer is most familiar with D&D 5e, so we use this system along with my Diverse Character Worksheet to make the first character to join OpenWorld. Sawyer builds characters based on an Ancestry/Race & Class combo first and then makes a story that fits that combo – so that is how we made this character.
We came into this episode without any ideas before hand and rolled for a class and just went from there. We start with a loose concept that results in Gimrigg the Hill Dwarf Sorcerer. Once we dive deeper into who this character is, we discover he is a cultist. The conversation then turns into how cultists are seen in traditional D&D in contrast to how someone who joins a cult in real life is viewed. We also interchange the character's name Gimrigg for Grimrigg multiple times during this episode.
Please enjoy this first episode! The video version of the podcast has subtitles for anyone who prefers or requires that and that can be found here: https://openworldrpg.org/finding-your-inner-cultist-in-dd-5e-build-an-openworld-ep-1/
