GDM Jay has plans for an upcoming D&D campaign he’s going to play in. Some of it involves a bit of luck and some of it involves an immovable object. Sure can do some neat things in RPG’s.
GDM Christopher has his eye on a new miniature coming out soon. Another large dragon for the shelf along with a couple other minis. GDM Jay also talks some Brindlewood Bay and Dune, because of course he does.

Sorry guys. Cr’aig borked the recording just before the 13 minute mark. Sorry for the skip.

GDM Jay finally got an opportunity to run a game of Dungeon Crawl Classics again and it went exactly how you would expect a game full of level 0 characters to go. Tons of fun and a complete massacre.

GDM Christopher also managed to run his D&D 5E game and brought out a CR 26 creature to battle a group of level 3 characters. For once he didn’t kill everybody. The guys spend the moment to look into current creature design and ponder how broken it may be.

GDM Jay has a few games on his mind at the moment. Adventures on the Purple Planet, the soon to be released on Kickstarter Tomb of Gyzaengaxx, and his game of the year for 2024 Brindlewood Bay, which he can now buy. The real questions are can he get them all and even more importantly find time to play them. Signs point to no.

Him and GDM Christopher both recently got a PDF for the Skymasters Guidebook for the Skyraiders of Abarax. While they haven’t gone through it fully they still peak inside and take a look. Some interesting rules for running airship combat to be sure.

GDM Christopher is back to running games regularly and back to his usual ways. As usual he uses disintegrate liberally and even used an updated version of the necromancer. Lets just say it’s not really fair for the players.

With GDM Christopher being back the guys are up to their usual topics. For GDM Christopher that revolves around miniatures. Wotc recently released a complete miniature set for Tomb of Annihilation and the guys check it out. GDM Jay discovers that Wizkids also sells Pathfinder minis, which peaks his interest.

GDM Jay talks about what happens when you polymorph a large creature inside a smaller creature. This leads to an interesting conversation about hypnotizing chickens and how to handle it. Also Humblewood is now on D&D Beyond and GDM Christopher couldn’t be happier.

GDM Christopher finally returns from his extended trip behind the wood shed. He’s got a black eye and missing some teeth, but is none the worse for wear. Now that he’s returned he’s got tons of things on his mind, such as can a Paladin remove strep throat?

With the 50th anniversary of D&D this year Wotc finally releases their book release schedule. Players Handbook isn’t until September. This isn’t going to end well for Adventures League according to GDM Christopher. GDM Jay is fine with it because now he won’t have to spend any money until the second half of the year.
Speaking of spending money GDM Jay is wanting to get in on the new Dungeon Crawl Classics Backerkit, but has to dig through all their other products first. This included Lankhmar, which he recently learned is an old fantasy novel series. Even the old man can still learn new things. This plus many more topics this event packed week.

GDM Christopher is still missing so GDM Jay had his friend Mike step in for him. We think GDM Christopher is probably hiding in the woods somewhere living on nuts and berries, but we’re not sure. Either way the show must go on.

This week has been wild with speculation of Wotc selling D&D, which apparently isn’t true, or is it? GDM Jay has thoughts of his own and speculates what happens if they do sell. The guys also spend a bit of time checking out a board game Mike got called War of the Rings. A Lord of the Rings game from 1977. While they haven’t had a chance to play it yet, it’s definitely intriguing.

Also since GDM Christopher is missing GDM Jay decided to do another list and nobody could tell him no. This week it’s which of the best Sci-fi franchises should have RPGs and some that already do. Might be surprised what made the list.

GDM Christopher is still on vacation so GDM Jay is joined by his friend Mike and Bruce the Beer Bandit from the Drunk With Buds Podcast. Since GDM Jay covered the best games of last year recently he now decided to dig up the worst games of all time. Needless to say it didn’t disappoint. Well actually they did disappoint, which is why they are the worst games of all time.

Bruce decided to have a Dungeons and Dragons spell draft, where the guys go through and draft the spells they think are the worst, since apparently we’re on a worst week. Some of the spells you would expect, but with these guys choosing many of them will surprise you. Also, screw Silvery Barbs.

GDM Christopher ran away to Disneyland and left GDM Jay to fend for himself. Thus far he has managed to keep the wolves at bay and is living off of canned tuna and jars of peanut butter. The Jelly ran out yesterday.

Fortunately he was saved by his co-gamemaster and friend Mike. While waiting for the end they decided to record a podcast where they talk about a number of things. GDM Jay goes over some more of the RPG he’s currently working on. Details will likely remain scarce for a long time, but progress is happening.

Wiz-kids decided to release 50th Anniversary D&D blind packs of miniatures using modern and original art as inspiration. The guys dive into some of the details and make fun of Bugbears. Also GDM Jay has found a new card game in Sorcery: Contested Realm.

Both guys walk through a list of some of the best games that came out last year or to be released this year. In the process GDM Jay already found his game of the year for 2024, which involves Grandma’s and Elder Gods.

We all know mimics can copy just about anything, but this seems a bit absurd. Or does it? GDM Christopher came across a few monsters that are a bit….uncouth. The least offensive of them is a mimic that can take on the shape of a toilet. Well, at least he now has a use for his outhouse mimic miniature.

GDM Jay decided he should weigh in online whether or not the rules matter and naturally it turned into a troll festival. Before things went sideways however there was actual discussion on what makes RPG’s a game and not just playing pretend. Naturally he has to get GDM Christopher’s opinion.

The Grumpy Dungeon Masters decided the new year was a good time to drop bombs on each other. GDM Waples came in swinging hooks by reminding GDM Jay that he had failed miserably at the Dungeon23 challenge. For those not familiar it was the idea of creating a single dungeon room every day for a year. In so doing you’d have a full dungeon by the end of the year.

GDM Jay countered with an overhand of letting GDM Christopher know that he’d actually created his own RPG and couldn’t help him with Dungeon 24. While he wasn’t forthcoming with the details yet he would be very busy working on this project. Will the project ever actually see the light of day? Only the future and diviners know.

Beyond all of that the guys chat some about the new AI art and WotC hullabaloo. Also GDM Christopher is back to streaming his game on Saturdays and as per usual nearly killed a character. GDM Jay has also found his game of the year for 2024 right out of the gates. He downloaded on DrivethruRPG a game simply titled A Fistful of Draculas. If you’ve ever wanted to play a Dracula in a spaghetti western this games for you.
