It’s A Mimic!

In this episode of the It’s A Mimic! Podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters cracks open the DMG, Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, and the Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica to dig into some more variant rules.  There are tons of them in the published material, and some of common online homebrew rules address issues that there are actually rule options for. This episode covers variant rules surrounding communication and reputation, and revisits the discussion on madness..

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast takes a sidestep to finally address the most common kind of enemy in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: the humanoid NPC.  Sometimes they betray, sometimes they get betrayed.  Sometimes they’re lethal, and some they’re regretful.  Everyone has run into them at one point or another, but the panel of Dungeon Masters is going to try to break down new and interesting ways to go about using them.  This episode marks the first half of the conversation, but it’s important to know the broad strokes before you dive headlong into the nitty gritty details.

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast returns to Rangers, but the panel of Dungeon Masters has to break the mold for our class-based episodes a little bit and focus on the updates from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.  There are a lot of new updates and variants for the 5th Edition  Ranger, and the Beastmaster gets some new companions as well.  So, string your bow, whistle for your wolf, and don your furs, because it’s time to revisit Rangers once again.

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast heads to the Sword Coast and the distant realm of Exandria to cover the Fighter subclasses listed there, before looking at the pages of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything to look at new options in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.  It’s not all swinging swords and surging action, though, as the panel of Dungeon Masters has discovered.  So grab your heavy armour and push the nerd with the spellbook out of the way, because this episode launches into three more subclasses, as well as the Optional Class Features offered in Tasha’s.

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast digs up something a little more sinister than we’re used to in this conversation, as the panel of Dungeon Masters tries to determine if the Lineages in Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft are all they’re cracked up to be.  It’s vampires, hags, and reincarnations this week, with a focus on roleplaying and flavour, because the mechanics look like they’re a little underwhelming at first glance.  So is there more to these three than simply a trip to Hot Topic and a scowl?

This episode of this It’s A Mimic podcast is going to bring us back to the Forgotten Realms for the fourth Lore episode, but this time we’re getting spiritual. With everything going on on the ground of Toril, the activities of the gods during the spell plague and second sundering have been the foundational events for Dungeons and Dragons 5e.  So, today, this panel of Dungeon Masters seeks to open up the onion of the official Pantheon of the Forgotten Realms, while understanding how these two events shaped worship on Toril…

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! Podcast helps flesh out further nuance when it comes to using Chromatic Dragons in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.  The panel of Dungeon Masters rifles through the pages of Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons once more to see what else Tiamat's children have to offer, outside of the Monster Manual.  There are more personality quirks, minions, lairs, and hoard items, but is it enough to finally make dragons feel as epic as they should?  And stay tuned for the end of the episode, when the DM’s look into whether or not the Chromatic Greatwyrm lives up to its name, or if it's just another Chromatic Moderatewyrm!

In this episode of the It’s A Mimic! Podcast, this panel of Dungeon Masters sits down and cracks open the discussion on variant rules.  There are dozens of options in the published material for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, and some of you might be unnecessarily making homebrew rules without realizing there are already other options out there for you.  This show has already dug into the experience-based variants in E047, so it’s time to look at special character creation rules, unique healing and damage rules, and some interesting entries about unique weapons.

In this final Hags episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters sits down to look at the worst Hags that Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition has to offer.  With a hard look into the stat blocks of the nastiest coven published so far, the episode is going to see what can be gleaned from the pages of Wild Beyond the Witchlight when it comes to playing Hags in your own campaigns.
