Hello and Welcome to Dungeon Talk. The General advice and discussion podcast from DnD Academy.

I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 41 Law & Order. In this episode Caleb and I tackle playing the GOOD GUYS vs playing heroes’. We talk about playing Lawful Stupid – I mean a Paladin and then wrap up with a quick example of a game I played in where all the PC’s were Law Men.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 11: Save Vs. Dictionary

In our last episode Treydak was being attacked by Fred & George, the rangers he had been working with. They lured him out into the forest to show him some “husks” they had found and when he was alone, attacked him.  In the meantime Mavin the Noble Jack pretends to work for, called Jack to a meeting and told him that the camp was being infiltrated by impostors and gave him salt water to use as a detection method.  Durand’s Zombie-bird familiar alerted Durand of Treydak’s being in danger and Durand rallied the troops and rushed to help.

We pick up just there as the group has discovered that the Treydak they are speaking with, is not actually Treydak.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 10: There’s Always One!

In our last episode Valius confronted Duran on being a Necromancer having found out his familiar is a Zombie.  Duran then spilt the beans bout brining his dad’s demon infested body with him to this new world. Before that confrontation could resolve a cry rang out and Blaine rushed to find that Julius-Balore had apparently exploded from the inside and the ledger books containing the names of the 5 impostors is missing.

We pick up just there but jump over to find out what Jack and Treydak have been up too.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hello and Welcome to Dungeon Talk. The General advice and discussion podcast from DnD Academy.

I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 39 – The Not So Great Escape. This week our first returning guest

Matthew Parody (Co-host of the ProbablyQuestionable podcast) joins Caleb and I as we discuss the use of Prison as a setting in your D&D or RPG game.

We hit this a couple different ways:

1. Starting a game in prison. Do you use this just to get the band together or is there a challenge/puzzle tied into the prison.

2. Setting the game in a  prison.

3. Using a prison as part of a longer on-going game.

Stick around after the show for some Nazi talk – always a good time.

Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 9: Box Full of Demons!

In our last episode we learned that neither Blaine or Durrand had been nominated but Abram had. The reveal of which, might be my favorite moment ever in any game. It was priceless.  In this episode, the PC’s begin to conspire and learn that the threats of this world are not just giant things, but there may be something devious at work inside of camp.

Valius goes off searching for something and finds it in an unexpected place.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy.

This is A New World: Episode 8:The Tusks of Justice

In our last episode, Valius (Niko’s Dwarven Paladin) led a search party of scouts into the woods to look for survivors of the attack that occurred while the PC’s were out.  Once out there his group was attacked by the Siren’s Song and a couple of the scouts tried to walk into the woods.  Valius was able to save them and get the group safely back to camp. They also found 2 more of the ‘husks’ on the way back.  We pick up this episode right as Valius returns and tells the other PC’s what happened.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hello and welcome to Dungeon Talk, the General Advice and Discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 38: Synergies of the Multiverse

On today’s show, we broaden our horizon’s a bit and talk about a game that is not an RPG: Sentinels of the Multiverse, one of Caleb’s ( @TheCalebG)  favorite games.

SotM

We then have a creature feature: Bugbear (Spoiler: it’s neither bug, nor bear)

We then have a longer session of Synergy. We had a suggestion of cards sent in by Friend of the Show Matt Parody  ( @Mattparody )

Here is a link to the cards we use if you want to see them:

CARDS FOR SYNERGY

We then finish up with a discussion about the game Whitehack as suggested by Olaf.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy.

This is A New World: Episode 7: We Should Go Back

There is a session missing between episode 6 and 7, there was also about a 2 month gap between those episodes so I do a longer intro at the beginning of the game which should cover all the important details. The one thing I did leave out, was what happened with the Godzilla-ish creature that roared at the end of ep 6.  In the session that’s missing, Nick’s character Treydak turned into a bird and flew at the creature, buzzing around it’s eyes to distract it. It breathed fired and set some of the tree tops on fire and these giant snake-like creatures fell dead to the ground below.  The creature then walked through a purple/black portal just like the one that brought the colony to this world.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hello and welcome to Dungeon Talk, the General Advice and Discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 37: Combat, the Angry way! Pt 2.

EDIT: Hello, so i screwed up – shocker, I know! and uploaded a segment for the last podcast and not the entire file. I’ve corrected it. I did it fast though, so it is less ‘edited’ than usual (might notice a few more Uhm’s and a few longer pauses). I also didn’t add the intro, so it just starts.  SORRY!!

This is the second of our two part episode where Caleb and I discuss combat with (in)famous TheAngryDM.  I’ve bookended this longer combat discussion with some shorter topics Caleb and I had covered separately so in this episode you start with the second half our our EPIC combat discussion with Angry (combat N-Z)  and then Caleb and I discus a Table Topic from a recent FAE Game (Spoiler alert, the things we discuss happen in a FAE: DEADLANDS Game that hasn’t been released yet) and focus on making decisions that make the game better and not using things like alignment to justify being a dick!

If you don’t already, you should be following the AngryDM on twitter and please check out his blog where many of the topics we discuss on this podcast Angry has written about (at length).
