Episode 8 (Actually 7.5): Turtle Cartography

In this episode, the gang puts together a map for Turtle Mountain itself, pointing at some of the interesting things that players will explore. We talk about the importance of blank spaces, vantage points, and how Disneyland can guide your map-making. No monster of the week this week, unfortunately!

Episode 7: And Then It Eats You

Hey everyone, welcome to the (slightly belated) Episode 7. We split this one up into two eps for technical and content reasons, so 7.5 is coming out next week. This week, we're talking specifically about making NPCs for Meredith's Turtle Mountain campaign.

Episode 6: Moaning in Ogre (Monsters)

Welcome to Episode 6 of Carpe DM. In this episode, we talk about the monsters that infest the various worlds of Dungeons and Dragons. How to read stat-blocks, choose monsters for encounters, and make monsters unique and memorable! Is a Zombie Ogre an ogre who's a zombie, or a zombie who's an ogre? We literally never find out.

Hey everyone, thanks for bearing with us through our technical difficulties. This week on Carpe DM we talk about NPCs as party members, a giant demon who explodes when you kill it, and we delve into some of the inhabitants of the mysterious Turtle Mountain.

Episode 2: Flavors of Fantasy

In this episode, Meredith and Alexei dig into the fundamentals of setting up a campaign world. We talk about the various "underlying assumptions" that go into building a fantasy world, and how to communicate those to your players. What's the difference between an "epic" game and a "mythic" game? When should or shouldn't you "cross the streams?" And why are barbarians and swamps so intimately intertwined?

I have been looking for resources to grow as a dm because I am new to this side of the screen. This does a great job explaining how to start and they are fun to listen to!
Fantastic podcast for D&D beginners!

Alexei Othenin-Girard and Chris Hockabout thoughtfully, hilariously, and lovingly guide Meredith SK through the intimidating process of growing from a player to a Dungeon Master. Alexei's and Chris's advice is solid and Meredith is a smart beginner whose fresh questions point out places often skipped by experts because they have forgotten what it was like to encounter D&D for the first time. Using the 5e Dungeon Master Guide chapters as an outline of the podcast and recurring segments like "Monster of the Week" give the show a strong direction and make it the ideal resource for gamers who are ready to try their hand at DMing!
