    DnD Monsters: Cyclopses, Ettins, Fomorians, ogres, and Trolls

    This episode covers a lot of ground—mostly because the things we're talking about have very large feet and very little impulse control. We’re diving into the "not-quite-giants" of the D&D multiverse: Cyclopses, Ettins, Fomorians, Ogres, and Trolls. From the "two heads are better than one" (unless they're arguing about who gets to eat the halfling) logic of the Ettin, to the "I’ll heal that later" biological horror of the Troll, we explore why these creatures are the backbone of every classic dungeon crawl. We also take a dark turn into the Feywild to discuss the Fomorians—the fallen royalty of the giant-kin—and why their "Evil Eye" is a lot worse than just a judgmental look from your DM.

    DnD Locations: Mystara

    In this episode of Roll For Lore, we explore Mystara, one of the classic Dungeons & Dragons campaign settings and a cornerstone of early D&D worldbuilding. Originally developed for the Basic, Expert, and Companion D&D rules, Mystara helped define how fantasy settings could blend mythology, history, and high adventure. We break down Mystara’s real-world origins, how it evolved through early D&D products, and why it stands apart from later settings like Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk. From its diverse populations and nations to its unique approach to cultures, empires, and Immortals, Mystara presents a world that feels both familiar and wildly experimental. Hosted on Acast.

    DnD Factions: The Harpers

    In this episode of Roll for Lore, we pull back the curtain on The Harpers, one of the most influential and secretive organizations in the Forgotten Realms. Neither a kingdom nor a conquering force, the Harpers operate in the shadows—using information, music, magic, and quiet heroism to oppose tyranny and keep powerful forces in check. We explore their origins, their loose and often fractured structure, famous members like Elminster, and why they believe balance matters more than domination. From covert missions to moral gray areas, this episode breaks down how the Harpers shape the Realms without ever ruling them—and why they’re one of D&D’s most fascinating factions for players and Dungeon Masters alike.

    Szass Tam & the Red Wizards of Thay

    In this episode of Roll for Lore, we dive deep into the dark and calculating mind of Szass Tam, one of the most dangerous necromancers in the Forgotten Realms. From his rise within the Red Wizards of Thay to his transformation into an immortal lich, Szass Tam’s story is one of ambition, cruelty, and long-term planning on a truly terrifying scale. We explore his role in Thayan politics, his repeated attempts at godhood, and how his schemes have shaped Faerûn across multiple editions of D&D. Whether you see him as a classic villain or a masterclass in lawful evil, this episode breaks down why Szass Tam remains one of the greatest undead threats in D&D history. Hosted on Acast.

    DnD Monsters: Mimics

    In this episode of Roll for Lore, we take a lighter, slightly unhinged look at one of Dungeons & Dragons’ funniest and most traumatizing monsters: the Mimic. From the moment a perfectly normal chest grows teeth, Mimics have ruined player trust forever—and we love them for it. We dig into where Mimics came from, how they evolved across editions, and all the ridiculous things they’ve disguised themselves as over the years (doors, toilets, inns… nothing is safe). This episode is less “epic lore” and more “shared table trauma,” celebrating the monster that taught generations of adventurers to poke everything with a ten-foot pole. Laugh, cringe, and never open a door the same way again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    DnD Species: Aasimar

    Touched by the divine and absolutely not subtle about it, Aasimar are one of D&D’s most iconic—and misunderstood—lineages. In this episode, we crack open what it actually means to be born with celestial power: angels whispering in your ear, glowing eyes at inconvenient moments, and the crushing expectation that you’re supposed to be “the good one.” We break down where Aasimar come from, how they differ from Tieflings beyond the obvious vibes, and why their lore is way more morally complicated than “holy hero with wings.” From fallen Aasimar and broken destinies to why so many players use them to explore faith, guilt, and rebellion, this episode digs into the good, the bad, and the divinely awkward. If you’ve ever wanted to play a character who looks like a blessing and feels like a curse—this one’s for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    DnD DRAGONS!!!!!

    Hey guys, due to unfortunate circumstances we find ourselves having to release the Aasimar episode later this week. It will be hella dank, don't worry. For now enjoy this previously patreon exclusive dragon episode. In this special two-hour mega episode of Roll for Lore, we go all in on dragons—every color, every type, every legend. From the noble metallic dragons and the terrifying chromatic tyrants, to gem dragons, planar dragons, dracoliches, and everything in between, this is the definitive deep dive into the creatures that gave Dungeons & Dragons its name. We explore their mythological roots, how dragons have evolved across every edition of D&D, their gods like Bahamut and Tiamat, and the roles dragons play as rulers, monsters, schemers, and living forces of nature. Whether you’re a new player who wants to understand why dragons matter or a veteran lore-hound ready for the full fire-breathing experience, this epic episode is a love letter to the most iconic creatures in fantasy—no hoard left untouched.

    DnD Species: Tieflings

    In this episode of Roll for Lore, we dive into Tieflings—Jess’s favorite playable species and one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most iconic and misunderstood peoples. Born with infernal bloodlines and marked by horns, tails, and glowing eyes, Tieflings carry the legacy of devils whether they want it or not. We explore their real-world mythological inspirations, their evolution across D&D editions, and how Tieflings became symbols of identity, prejudice, and self-determination in the game’s lore. From their infernal ancestors and planar bargains to the many ways Tieflings choose who they become, this episode is all about why being touched by hell doesn’t mean you’re destined for it.
