    Dueling GMs 28 - The Good, The Bad, and the Rules as Written

    Learn how to kill your level 1 PC by celebrating, how to get infinite AC, and the lost art of Bardic Horsecasting in today's edition of Dueling GMs. We finally return with a full episode of Dueling GMs and have we got a doozy for you. Today we dive deep into the differences between RAW (Rules as Written), RAI (Rules as Intended) and the Rule of Cool in your TTRPGs. Which do you prefer? When is it important to lean into one over the other? And most importantly, when reading the rules as written, how many things are just plain busted in D&D 5e? Find out now! That's it! Subscribe, leave a review, and tell all your friends! We'd also love to hear what you think about the show. You can communicate with us directly at our EpicBlunders Twitter handle or follow our other projects on DM's Guild.  Our big fall project, Baba Lysaga's Nocturnes & Nightmares, has been an amazing success. You don't want to miss it.

    Dueling GMs 27 - Twisted Builds #9 (Mobility)

    What does a Man-Beast hybrid Wizard/Bladesinger have in common with a Drunken Aviator Monk/Cleric? Find out in today's episode of Dueling GM's: Twisted Builds. This week we wanted to focus on making the most mobile characters we could, and it was intriguing to see the different directions we took to get there. Everyone's got a unique idea and cool plan for optimizing a TTRPG character build for your DnD 5e games. But what if your parameters were a bit askew? Or what if you wanted to semi-optimize, but flavor it around a specific roleplay concept? Well friends, look no further! We give you "Twisted Builds"! What are Twisted Builds, you ask? We set up 10 simple rules to follow. Listen in on any Twisted Builds episode and get some interesting ideas for new characters down the road. Or, write in and tell us how we did it all wrong!  The rules are simple. Establish a Theme. Declare a Concept. Impose a Twist. All characters are level 10 using Point-Buy. All races and classes are acceptable without explanation. All of Tasha’s Optional Rules can be used. No Homebrew unless it’s semi-official on DnDBeyond. Multiclassing is allowed but must follow requirements for Ability Scores. No magic items unless the class somehow grants them. Any mundane items are allowed. All Subclasses can only ever be used up to a total of 10 levels. We want to showcase different builds. Established setting will be within the world we’ve been creating in other Workshops. We’ll continue adding things to the world in future episodes! These builds are purely for fun and quirky concepts. They may be somewhat optimized, but no guarantees. That's it!

    Dueling GMs 26 - With Our Powers Combined (Guest Hosts on Collaboration)

    Today we're joined by some extra special guests. Many of the contributors to the new hit Dungeons & Dragons 5e supplement, Baba Lysaga's Nocturnes & Nightmares are on the show discussing what it was like to bring such a big project together, how collaboration really makes for incredible projects and final products, and the soft skills needed to work in a collaborative space. The book is just a little over a week old and has already hit Silver Best Seller on DM's Guild, where it can be found for sale. Listen in and find out if collaboration might be just the ticket to get your feet wet on content creation. Or perhaps you're an industry veteran but have always flown solo projects. Perhaps this will be exactly what you need to encourage you to branch out, tap a few friends, and do a collab yourself. Buy Nocturnes & Nightmares here!

    Dueling GMs 24 - Player-Driven Stories

    Dueling GMs is taking a long rest! This week, Anthony has a conversation with himself about how to create a campaign where the players provide the backdrop for your world and your plot. It's a way to drive engagement to the next level while also limiting the excess planning many DMs feel they need when preparing for their tabletop roleplaying sessions. Take a listen and maybe give it a try sometime. We'll be back at it in full force very soon. You can connect with us at any time on Twitter. Or check out some of our 3rd-party published content for D&D 5e here on DM's Guild.

    Dueling GMs 23 - Twisted Builds #8 (Melee Nerd)

    This week's build concept was all about having an Intelligence-centric Melee Combatant. On two opposite ends of the spectrum, we present a classically trained Dual-Wielding Elven Wizard who's nearly impossible to hit and Dwarven Tinker who uses science to put casters to shame and misfortune. Everyone's got a unique idea and cool plan for optimizing a tabletop  RPG character build. But what if your parameters were a bit askew? Or what if you wanted to semi-optimize, but flavor it around a specific roleplay concept? Well friends, look no further! We give you "Twisted   Builds"! What are Twisted Builds, you ask?
