In our first episode of 2026, we share some fun new show & tell items including a sci-fi-themed heist system, two articles by Kelly’s favourite person in the world (Sly Flourish), and a solo journaling RPG (because the new year is a perfect time to start journaling!). We also build three different 5e characters based on Keanu Reeves characters, and Alec gives a most triumphant summary of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Finally, we finish off with our first 2 DMs 1 Player round of the year, and this time, it’s Alec’s turn to be the player… so you know there will be a little chaos!

In this very special HOLIDAY episode of We Like D&D, we share some TTRPG-themed items that are on our wishlists this year (that might give you some last-minute shopping inspiration). We also go through our favourite Show & Tell items of the year, and give them very real, not at all made up awards that have no monetary value. And finally, we play a round of 2 DMs 1 Player where Kelly is ENCOURAGED to say the secret word… because he’s the player!! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for listening along this year. Happy holidays and a happy new year to you from the We Like D&D team! We appreciate you!

In this episode, which is definitely NOT the holiday episode, we show-and-tell about a time loop adventure, a Christmas adventure add-on for Curse of Strahd, and a solo RPG that tricks you into doing meal prep! We also discuss our first impressions of Shadowdark, which we played for the very first time, and get up to some wintery shenanigans in 2 DMs, 1 Player.

In this episode, we discuss a card-based zombie RPG (just in time for after Halloween!), an RPG that simulates running a community radio station, and a controversial (?) tip for DMs trying to immerse their players… we also give unsolicited advice on how to run combat for a split party and dealing with players changing characters mid-campaign, and finish off with a silly little episode of 2 DMs 1 Player!

In this episode, we talk about PvP on an island, 50 adventure hooks that are a bit out of the box, and a RPG where you attempt heists as three raccoons in a trench coat. We also design a Squid Game-inspired adventure with dangerous encounters based on children’s games, and end off with a round of 2 DMs 1 Player that takes place at a gym (which we are all equally knowledgeable about and comfortable improvising)!

In this (slightly-shorter) episode, we discuss a cool new character sheet tool, an MMORPG-inspired Daggerheart campaign frame, and a cozy haunted house adventure that is for those who like the vibes of spooky season, but don’t like being scared. To finish off this giggly episode, we play a pumpkin-spice-latte-themed 2 DMs 1 Player.

In this episode, Alec treats us to his best impressions of Kermit the Frog and Yoda, which have us all in stitches. We also discuss our first time playing MCDM’s Draw Steel, and share some fun bargain bin magic items, a retrofuture cyberpunk TTRPG inspired by 90s anime, and a program specifically designed to help you schedule TTRPG sessions! And finally, we play a round of 2 DMs 1 Player that determines who has to leave the podcast forever… the stakes have never been higher!

In this episode, we build an adventure inspired by Toy Story (which turns 30 years old this year?!), and share some fun show and tell items including 3 encounters you can steal from Baldur’s Gate 3, a spooky summer camp murder mystery adventure, and a rules-light game where you play as monsters hunting the monster hunters. We also play a very silly round of 2 DMs 1 Player with a listener-submitted word!

We’re back for the second time this month to share a Deck of Silly Things, a 2-player D&D duet game, and a re-imagined ooze monster that is not silly and very, very dangerous. We also discuss our first time playing Daggerheart, including all our likes and dislikes about the system, and close with another round of 2 DMs 1 Player that gets a little off the rails…
