It’s A Mimic!

This week's episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast kicks off the discussion about the first underwater mob that we're covering from D&D 5e, and that's the annoying to pronounce Sahuagin!  Dan and Adam sit in the warmth of their own Guild Hall, and discuss how they had to find info about the Sahuagin in 5e, as well as the additional dangers that make these creatures and their allies so deadly!  But there are too many monsters for just these two hosts to take on, so they've reached out to their own mob of Dungeon Masters who are littered throughout 5e's various locales, digging up details from every corner of the multiverse!

This episode covers the Sahuagin, Sahuagin Coral Smasher, Sahuagin Priestess, Sahuagin Champion, Sahuagin Hatchling Swarm, Sahuagin Warlock of Uk'otoa, and all four sharks (Reef Shark, Hunter Shark, Giant Shark, and Shell Shark).

The hosts featured are Brad, Dave, Jeff, Kyle, Megan, Terry, Tyler.

As we prepare to look at Sahuagin and other water-based monsters, we stop and take a week to dive into the depths of the aquatic rules in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.  The panel of Dungeon Masters compile all the rules from the many different source books to try and get a clearer vision of how water affects the game we love.  Does it all make sense?  Is it comprehensive enough?  Is it too specific and pedantic?  In this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, the guys call in to the guildhouse and go over the nitty gritties of movement, visibility, pressure, temperature, weapons, spellcasting, ships and their crews, and a whole lot more in the wet and wild world of aquatic campaigns!

The hosts featured are Adam, Dan, and Terry.

Original April Fools breakdown:

It is with great sadness that we bid Adam farewell in this special episode.  Due to alternate personal commitments, he has had to step down from the It's A Mimic! podcast and will be exploring other opportunities.  We wish him the very best in all future endeavours, and will miss him on the podcast.  He addresses it further within this episode, but please stay tuned for future announcements.

"Thanks to everyone for including me in this wild and crazy journey.  I hope you have incredible adventures and immense success in both D&D and regular life.  Thanks to Dan, Terry, the rest of my lovely friends, and all the listeners.  I love you all." - Adam

It's been a wild ride since this podcast launched, and the It's A Mimic! cast has grown in unexpected and amazing ways!  In a recent discussion, Dan and Adam discovered that they don't even really remember recording the first "Meet the DM's" episodes, and thought it would be fun to revisit the concept with all the additional voices... in a more limited capacity, of course.

So, the panel of twelve Dungeon Masters sit down with a random table of questions and give a brief breakdown of their own personal likes and dislikes in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition!  Thanks to all the friends and listeners for working with us during this Covid isolation, and we're excited to use the opportunity to make the panel of DM's more robust!
