    99. Anime Pt 2 w João Junqueira

    Finally getting around to posting this episode (a year after it was recorded)... Please enjoy John and I having another conversation about anime. Also, look out for episode 100! I will try my absolute best to make this happen sooner rather than later. We're going to have some fun clips from past guests, an update on what I've been up to, and some more Newsly shoutouts! Thank you guys so much for supporting the show all these years. Hit me up on IG @theodoregiesen and I'll give you a shoutout on ep 100!

    98. Anime Pt 1 w João Junqueira

    In this episode John and I talk about anime and how it has influenced various D&D characters we have played. If you don't like anime this might not be the episode for you. We are also going to follow it up with a part 2, which could be good or bad news for you. Oh well! I won't use my airpods for the next episode because apparently they suck for audio. Be on the look out for something special for Episode 100!!!! Thanks newsly.

    97. Hot Neil

    This episode we are joined by DMA legend and super fan Hot Neil to talk about contractual obligations in your campaign, improvising vs planning, and Superbad-esque campaigns before we play our favourite game, XCOM 2. Oh, and thanks Newsly.

    96. In the Dark w Mike

    This week (month? year?) Mike and I talk in the dark. This episode was recorded back in March so I have no idea what we talk about, so this description won't be very helpful. Looks like you guys are in the dark too. Also shoutout newsly.

    95. Baldur's Gate 3/ Our Sponsor w Mike

    We talk about Baldur's Gate. But more importantly we talk about our lovely sponsor Newsly, which has done quite the pivot since we last checked in with them. Listen along as we discover the deep depths of the crypto world via Newsly. There's no point in posting the code to get Newsly premium because they no longer provide that service.

    94. Party vs Party Campaign w Mike

    Happy 3 years to DMA! In this episode Mike and I talk about what it would be like to run a campaign with a good party and an evil party. Though it may seem a bit complicated, we talk about the ways that it could be successfully pulled off. Look forward to updates as we test this theory. We also take a crack at some D&D 20 questions because why not? As well, thank you to this week's sponsor, Newsly.

    93. Fishin' Fixation w Lexy and Mike

    In this episode Lexy, Mike, and I give some life updates, talk about the campaign we're all involved in, and dive into the importance of NPCs. Should they travel with the party, should they strictly be helpful, or can they bully your players around a bit? We also do a new take on fiction fixation where Lexy and I talk about our new fish Caesar and the wonderful home we've built for him in our living room.

    92. At the Eleventh Hour w Neil and Mike

    Having Neil back on the show was bitter-sweet; on one hand it was amazing to have him back and feed off the energy he brings, however, we only had an hour to record this episode before we had to leave for trivia. So while we would have loved to keep going, we present to you the most rushed podcast to date. In this hectic hour we catch up with our old friend alongside part-time co-host Mike where we talk about Neil's first time DMing, King's Dilemma, the new Deck of Many Things campaign, Daredevil, and All Quiet on the Western Front. As well, thank you to this week's sponsor, Newsly. Go to https://newsly.me/ and use promo code MASTER2021 to get a one month free subscription. And of course as always, thanks for listening!
