Wizards' Council Podcast

Once upon a time long ago, during the first editions of D&D there was a section an appendix found in those ancient tomes known as the Appendix N. It was there that stories of inspiration and creativity were forged. In today's session the council sits down and presents their own take on the Appendix N, providing you the listeners where they have formed their ideas for stories and ideas. So, sit down and listen in and maybe something will draw your attention and warrant picking up one of their entries to view, listen, and enjoy.

Abe’s away… doing something (??) leaving Matt and John to have a one on one. But neither are smokers, so they mix some drinks and have themselves their own version of a smoke break. In this session the two of them shoot the breeze and talk about things in Matt’s campaigns he’s running.

In today’s session, Abe and John sit down to discuss something a lot of DMs could use and Abe is currently working on. A session zero Campaign Handout.

So grab a beverage and relax with us as we talk about what goes into this helpful doc!

You cast out your BBEG and like good little fishes those Players come nibbling and biting at that sweet sweet bait. All to draw them into the great arcs you have in store for them. Wait, what? Why aren’t they biting? But my quests? All my sidequests and plots and plans? Hours of work lost to the whimsy of some rogue and his cockemamy scheme to rob the local brewer of its recipe for its popular brew!... this episode is brought to you by FrustrationTM. The aggravation maker. But jokes aside today we discuss quest hooks and the fruits and foibles of them as you use them in your game.

Peanut butter and jelly. Salt and Vinegar. Earth, Wind, and Fire. The Beatles. Many a great pairing and grouping and among those greats is the DM and their Players. But like some of those things, they can have issues and clash, so today we wanted to discuss today the DM-Player dynamic. What should be expected of players and what should be expected of DMs. Join us today as we touch on this classic pairing.

An episode idea requested by a listener, the council sits down to discuss their experiences with TTRPGs. What have they played, what may be their favorite system, and potential bars for entry for new players. So sit back and relax as this pseudo “coming soon to a theater near you” plays out.

Wizard Council is a biweekly podcast where we discuss the trials and tribulations that occurred while playing and running D&D and other RPGs. We will address issues ranging from problem players and DMs to the nitty gritty of fighting styles and everything in between.
