It’s A Mimic!

In this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters breaks down their favourite genre: Horror.  It's one of the most difficult tones to hit around the table, so each of the DM's explain their methods and perspectives, and shine a little light on the darkest of campaign types.

Exploration is key when it comes to injecting horror and dread into a D&D campaign, and Adam, Dan, and Terry talk about planning ahead to lay a foundation for your players, and what you can do to bring different kinds of fear to your Halloween session.  Anticipation, specificity, and suspense are all key factors, as well as controlling the room and controlling your own performance.  But what do you do when it all goes wrong?  How can you recognize when you're affecting a player?  And when does it become too much?

In this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters sit down and discuss the darkest plane: The Shadowfell.  From mood and atmosphere to encounter ideas and campaign hooks, the DM's peer into the mists and unveil the mysteries behind everyone's favourite gothic horror setting.  Topics include who created the Shadowfell, The Raven Queen, and the Greek Fates!

The discussion wraps up with a look at Death House, Curse of Strahd, and Strahd von Zarovich, himself, as the DM's try to give some hints for new players and new DM's, and talk about their own personal experiences.  Everyone has some fun with pronunciations, while Adam tries to stay spoiler-free, Dan gives a quick breakdown of the Shadar-Kai, and Terry pines over his non-existent goth girlfriend.

The small group of survivors makes a mad dash for the courthouse, hoping to find some answers, some supplies, and some refuge.  But will the courthouse provide more questions than clues? And who else lurks within its walls? There is barely an opportunity to breathe as they split up to search the darkness, and discover one horror after another...

Back in Black! The panel of Dungeon Masters is back with a look at Black Dragons in 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. These sadistic creatures rise from their wretched lairs and will melt your face with the horrid spew that erupts from their ghastly maws. But enough about our hosts...

There is a wealth of information about Black Dragons, and the DM's cover lairs and regional effects, social and environmental opportunities, and combat tactics that are sure to destroy players. With Dan still out for the count and Megan sitting in, this episode focuses on what is potentially the most evil of all dragons, and interesting ways that you can inject these giant magical creatures into your game.
