  • Episodic Villain Episode

    Here's another episode! This time about villains! This one specifically about your one off villains, your cannon fodder, your villains that have a plan and want it real bad and who get thwarted quickly by your players. We take a dive into Homer's "The Odyssey" to explore episodic plot styles and discover what types of villains fit this kind of story telling.

    This one's a throwback episode: just Brendan the drunk DM and a mic. And of course a beverage recipe as well in the form of a Manhattan. Recipeas follows:

    2 parts rye (I prefer Rittenhouse)

    1 part sweet vermouth (My choice is Dolin)

    2 dashes bitters (Classically Angustora bitters but I like chocolate bitters personally)

    Mix that in a glass full of ice and strain into a coup, with a garnish in the form of a maraschino cherry

  • The More You No - Campaign Diaries #2

    After a bit of holiday break we're finally back and better than ever with the second installment of the campaign diaries! This time I sit with my player, Caroline, and talk all about their half-elf bard, No. This one's jam packed with stories, goofs, and actually quite a bit of advice for players and DM's alike including tips on sharing the spotlight, alignment, player secrets and a whole lot more. All while sipping on the quintessential holiday treat, Bailey's and hot cocoa! Hope you guys have as much fun listening as we did recording!

  • In the Beginning - Campaign Diary #1

    Welcome to the official start of our campaign diary series! I sat down with two of my players to reminisce on the last year of our campaign together. Tyler and Katherine (a.k.a. Malik and Sariel respectively) give a view from the player side of the screen as we recount the fall of Malik's village, Hombul, and the role Sariel had in its downfall.

    The Moscow Mule was featured in this episode because it is easy to make, easy to drink, and perfect for kicking back and talking D&D.

    • Moscow Mule
    • 1 Lime
    • 2 Mint sprigs
    • 1.5oz Vodka
    • Club Soda
    • 1oz Ginger Syrup
    • Muddle Vodka, Lime, and mint sprigs at the bottom of your mug.

      Pack with ice. Top with Ginger Syrup and Club Soda (Ginger Beer works fine in a pinch) and stir gently to keep carbonation.

      Garnish with mint and lime.

    • Shoulda Stayed Dead

      Hey everyone! We're back with another Unearthed Arcana review this time on the new Warlock subclass "The Undead". This one leaves a few more unanswered questions than the last so I really hope you let me know your thoughts on it or if you think there's a good way to change it. While we go through that I show you how to make a wonderful little drink called the Gordon' Breakfast:

      2oz Gin (I use Ford's but any London Dry will do)

      .75oz Simple Syrup

      6 Lime Slices

      3 Cucumber Wheels

      Two Dashes Hot Sauce

      One Dash Worcestershire Sauce

      Hope you guys like it! As always you can email us at [email protected] or find us on facebook. Cheers!

    • Spirits... Of All Kinds

      Hey adventurers! Trying something new this go round. I cracked open the most recent Unearthed Arcana from Wizards of the Coast and holy moly is it fun. This one features two awesome subclasses for the bard and the warlock with a "beyond-the-grave" vibe. In this ep I look at the bard College of Spirits and let me just say it has one of the coolest abilities I've ever seen.

      Per usual I'm accompanied by a beverage but this time it comes in the form of a cocktail. I show you how to make a margarita and I won't go one by one through the brands of ingredients but I will call out the makers of the Orange liqueur I used "Tippler's" out of St. Petersburg, FL (I always like to promote local companies who source locally). They make a hell of a product.

      As always, look us up on facebook, email me at [email protected], and check out mine and Chelsea's YouTube channel "Crossed Wires"!

    • Only Got One Shot

      Hey adventurers! Long time no upload! COVID-19 has been brutal on our recording schedule but we're back baby! In this episode I talk about a recent one-shot I ran and give some tips for running your own. The featured beer this time was Crane Brewing's Dry-Hopped Orange Gose and it was light and delightful.

      Also, Chelsea and I now have a YouTube Channel called Crossed Wires which you might enjoy. It's just us playing video games and making goofs. You can check out the first episode here: Bandicoots and Corn Dogs

      Happy DMing and stay safe!

    • Come To Jesus... or Cthulu

      Heyo... so I get a little real... a little sailor mouth-y... and a little... maybe offensive? in this episode. Guys... if you want a peek behind the curtain, this is your episode. It's a bit of a no holds barred ep that even includes some virtual panhandling? Scandalous on this show, I know. But real talk, this one felt good to get out and I hope you like it.

      Cheers guys!

    • The History of an Orb

      Hey guys, in this bad boy I intro the Campaign Diary Series and give you the history of my very own setting. All the while I drink a very boozy old favorite of mine "St. Bernardus Christmas Ale". It is literally one of my all time favorites and I will always recommend that bad boy.

      Also... some content had to be pushed out to a second bonus episode that should be up now just because it hit some more... adult points. So stay tuned. But! If you want to find me go to https://anchor.fm/thedrunkdm or shoot me an email at [email protected] or find me on facebook.

      As always, may misfortune always follow you... and never catch up!

    • Most Agile Build Breakdown

      Theory crafts can be a little confusing so I wanted to break down this character by action, bonus action, and reaction for you. Lot's going on with this one. Also for you DM's, I added in how I would use this character as an NPC so you might find some fun inspiration for your games too!

      May misfortune always follow you... and never catch up!
