Ep.66 - Shopping 101

This week we’re going over a very divisive part of D&D and many table top games… Some love it, some hate it, today… we’re talking about Shopping! Magic shops, book stores, antique shops, alchemy stores, and more! How do we, as Dungeon Masters, facilitate shopping? Do we haggle? What items does the shop sell? How much do you charge for things? And how can we make fantasy shopping more interesting and memorable? Well, let’s get into some shopping tips and tricks!

Ep.64 - Dungeon Master Horror Stories

This week we’re traveling back to the wild west of Reddit! In this episode, we’re going to be covering some D&D Horror Stories that Dungeon Masters submitted! But are they really horror stories? Are the DMs fully innocent here? And how could we both avoid these issues proactively and reactively once they do happen? Remember, we have a Discord channel and an email (links in the description) and we invite you to send us your D&D Horror Stories, questions, homebrew ideas, and more!

Ep.63 - Downtime 101

This week we’re going to be covering all of the ways a Dungeon Master can use the time the adventuring party isn’t adventuring. Maybe the dragon’s on vacation, maybe the archdevil is on bedrest, maybe the mindflayer colony took a wrong turn, whatever it is the adventurers have nothing to do… which means… Downtime! Whether it’s in between adventures, on the travel to the adventure, or even just in the couple hours before bedtime.. Downtime is often underutilized. So let’s freakin’ utilize the heck out of it!

Ep.62 - A Custom Cowboy Subclass

This week we’re putting our heads together in the name of integrity, justice, and all that’s good in this world. Because this past January in 2025, we were a small part of the charity drive to raise over 40,000 dollars to help Doctors without Borders! And that wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible people who donated. This includes Ryan who donated to the cause and in return, Taylor and I are going to create a custom subclass for him! The requirements are such: cowboy themed Bard or Artificer and Ryan enjoys One Piece and a mix of roleplay and combat. And Ryan has been working on a Bard Subclass called The College of Humility. We have our work cut out for us
