    In this episode I carve right through the Player's Handbook's list of available feats and offer unconventional ways to include those feats into other parts of your story's narrative. I also take advantage of the word play opportunity to joke about feet, and make a Jackie Chan reference, but those are less important.

    6 - Is that a Threat

    World building is an all encompassing journey with many a-detail to over look, but this episode covers some details you may have not even thought about!

    5 - The Tongue, the Mind and the Heart

    Magic and spellcasting: they play a huge role in any fantasy setting, but, while there are pages and pages of how magic works mechanically in D&D, there's not much information on the narrative aspect. Add depth to your campaign by exploring how magic differentiates between classes, spell schools, types of spell focuses and more. Listen to the ramblings of a mad podcast host and hear all about magic in D&D right here!
