Like Dragon Like Son

Feeling the need for a little getaway? Why not send take a vacay to the fabulous Outer Planes? Let us help you decide which plane will provide the excitement you are looking for -- plus some great tips on how to use the Outlands to build you next character's back story.

With the first anniversary of the Like Dragon Like Son podcast upon us, we thought we'd give out listeners something special -- a two part episode! In Part 1 we took a quick tour of the Upper Planes, as well as did some creative brainstorming on what the gate-towns (Chapter 2 of the DMG) for each of these planes might be like. If you haven't had a listen yet, check out the episode here.

Now for Part 2! We are headed for the Lower Planes, but dont' worry, it will be more fun than you think! We also try to help you imagine how the gate-towns to those might be a bit like Las Vegas, or a really loud bar with live music...some might even call that fun.

So pack your adventure's supplies, we are going on the Grand Tour!

Jack and Jay go up the beanstalk this week to talk about all about something really big: giants! We work our way through the Ordning (social structure), from lowly playable giant-kin like Goliaths and Firbolgs, all the way to the top of the clouds and into the storms! We talk about their magic, their runes, their culture -- and even some fun ways to have a fog giant as your warlock's patron.

We dig through lore hidden away in forgotten tomes (Volo's Guide to Monsters, Dndbeyond, and ForgottenWiki) to paint the larger than life picture of giant life. Tune in for loads of fun ideas on how to incorporate giants into your campaign, or how to build a one-shot around them. Also, learn a cool way to introduce a new halfling character to your party via a giant!

With some new fey animalfolk races coming out in Unearthed Arcana, we take a look at all the features that the various animal races provide in D&D 5e. From Lizardfolk to Luxadons, Owlfolk to Leonin, we've got all the fur, claws, fangs, trunks, scales and feathers covered.

We talk about how the various races might work with different classes, and discuss ways to subvert the tropes, taking a fresh look at how to portray these races in a new light -- especially taking into consideration the changes to ability score modifiers made possible in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. From cute to fur-rocious, it's all here.

If you have ever thought about playing a rogue, then this episode is for you. First, yes, you should defintiely play a rogue. They are super fun, super easy, and incredibly valuable for any party. And they come in a rainbow of flavors...and that's the tricky part: which one is best?

We've got you you covered this week as we discuss the Rogue subclasses, and debate which one is the best. It's a hard choice, as all Rogues are great, and no party should go adventuring without one. However, some are more appealing than others. Tune in to find out which ones get top ranking.

We peer into the dark forbidden corners of adventure to reveal the elements that make horror jump out at your players in a way that regular campaign settings might not. We look at how to play up the unknown, how to unsettle characters, and how to use foreshadowing to make monsters worse in the minds of PCs. We talk about how to add terrifying details to scenes, how to be creepy, and how to push your player's buttons (and also how to know not trigger any real lif traumas).

Sometimes we can't get past the sight of blood...and because of that we don't make bloodhunters. We don't even taken the time to read the class features, or the sub-classes. Until someone comes along to take us by the hand, and show us some of the really cool things about this Critical Role class. Join us as Jack guides Jay on this learning journey.

We will also look at some cool ways to use Order of the Lycan to make a sort of "spiderman" like character, and how to re-skin the "blood" thing into something easier to digest -- spider venom!

This week we looked at the new UA lineages of Dhampirs, Hexblood and Reborn -- and talk about making scary characters. We also look at a Reborn Phantom Zealot build. And we discuss how these character may, or may not, fit into your next (or current) horror campaign.

Sometimes an encounter with a monster doesn't have to become a fight. As a DM, to create opportunities for players to talk to the bad guys, you need to know what the monster wants (or at least have a handy table on stand-by that you can roll on to find out what they want). We look at how the "guidelines" for parley work, and how you as a player might be able to talk your way out of a tight spot.

Tune in to hear Jay and Jack spontaneously live roleplay and enounter with some Annis Hags, and see how well Jack's character does at talking his way across their bridge.
