    D&D 5E - LGBTQIA + and GAMING .. Season 3 Episode 64

    D&D 5E - LGBTQIA + and GAMING .. Season 3 Episode 64

    Today we’ve invited a group of individuals to join us to discuss, what we think, is an important topic in gaming, inclusion.  Specifically, LGBTQIA+ and gaming. To find out more about our guests please follow the links below.

    And
    Elizabeth Murphy From "Rising Phoenix GameCon"
    https://risingphoenixgamecon.com/
     
     
    These are the talking points:
    What has been a positive representation of queerness in a TTRPG that you’ve played?
    What suggestions do you have for GM’s who are not LGBTQ who wish to introduce queer themes and representation into their games?
    A queer person has been introduced as a character in your favorite DnD stream/podcast. You check the comments and you see Dudebro ask “why are we making this political?  
     
    Do you consider the exclusion, or policing of cishet men at your table a double standard?  And what do you say to this group when they retaliate with something like “well I guess it’s wrong to be a straight man in modern society….”
    Are there games you’ve played or run that highlight LGBTQ+ characters/themes/etc.?
    What measures do you have in place for when someone violates the expectations of the table, especially if you’re playing a game at a convention or game store?
    Has D&D or other role-playing games helped you to find yourself?
    How can we as a community, make the table, welcoming for LGBTQIA + players?

    D&D 5E - Actual Play - “The Battle for Birch Grove : A DMD Oneshot ”Episode 2 ”These things bleed””

    D&D 5E - Actual Play - “The Battle for Birch Grove : A DMD Oneshot ”Episode 2 ”These things bleed””

    “The Battle for Birch Grove” Episode 2
    “These things bleed”
    Dash, Mo’Quee, Iring, Sun Glistens on the Water, Longwei and Madry defend Birch Grove from the first assault of the Faceless ones. 
    This DMD one shot is a six-part adventure that was recorded as “Microphone rehearsals” with the cast of “An Acorn’s Journey: A DMD story” to get them ready for playing on the microphone.  The cast wanted to role-play a bit to get ready but roleplay alone is pretty boring so we played a session.  This 6-part one-shot was an “off the cuff” improv session.  DM Scott had nothing prepared. The original intent was to record some calls to action and character introductions.  
    Join Dash, Mo’Quee, Iring, Sun Glistens on the Water, Longwei and Madry as they gather to defend Dash’s home from the threat of the Faceless ones in this Acorn’s Journey prequel.

    D&D 5E - This is just the beginning of our adventures together .. Season 3 Episode 62

    “T.S. Elliot said, what we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. And this is the end, but not really.
      “It’s really just the beginning, the beginning of OUR adventures together”
    We started this podcast 3 years ago in Bill’s basement as a way to stay in touch with each other and our hobby.  At the time, the pandemic was still new, and really scary.  We postponed our Monday night D&D game indefinitely and replaced it with recording the podcast in hopes of someday getting back to the table amongst our friends.
    The worst part of the pandemic is behind us (Hopefully) and we have a tough decision to make…

    D&D 5E - Actual Play - “The Battle for Birch Grove : A DMD Oneshot ”Episode 1 ”Every hero has an origin”

    “The Battle for Birch Grove” Episode 1
    Every Journey has a beginning.  Every hero has an origin.

    This DMD one shot is a six-part adventure that was recorded as “Microphone rehearsals” with the cast of “An Acorn’s Journey: A DMD story” to get them ready for playing on a microphone.  These raw recordings have been edited and divided into six episodes.  Sadly, Marcus (Sun Glistens on the Water) could not join us for the recording of “An Acorn’s Journey: A DMD story”, but here he is in this prequel.
    We hope you enjoy them!

    D&D 5E - 5 things a GM should not do when a character dies .. Season 3 Episode 60

    D&D 5E - 5 things a GM should not do when a character dies .. Season 3 Episode 60

    Character death it’s hard, not hard like it’s hard to die in 5E (It really is) but hard in that, your players are emotionally invested in their characters and (if you’re doing a good job running) in other players’ characters.  This is a make-it-or-break-it moment for the DM.  How you handle the death of a character is equally important to how you do NOT handle the death of a character.
    These are the talking points:
    DON’T HAVE DEATH BE MEANINGLESS. 
    DON’T HAVE THEM ROLL A NEW CHARACTER AT THE GAME TABLE. 
    DON’T RIP UP THE CHARACTER SHEET (DICK MOVE).
    DON’T LET THE PARTY LOOT THE CORPSE OF THEIR FALLEN FRIEND (DICK MOVE AGAIN). 
    DON’T APOLOGIZE FOR THE CHARACTER DEATH. 
     
    And that’s 5 things a GM should not do when a character dies. We’ll see you next time, in the Dojo

Jonathan Gerolami ,

Podcast is great. Except Lou

Great Dnd podcasts for new Dms and players and amusing to us ancient ones . The only down side is that murder hobo Lou but you shouldn’t expect perfection… but could you cut him out a little?
Lol. Well love your discussion, suggestions and point of views .. well two out of three .

riddikuluspatronus1 ,

Excellent!

This DND podcast is fantastic. Many DND podcasts have difficulty keeping audiences entertained but this podcast does just that! It’s intriguing and entertaining from beginning to end! Detailed and the characters are played out perfectly. If you like DND and role playing games it’s a must add to your podcast playlist!

DM mini T ,

Entertaining and useful

I picked up this podcast shortly before hurricane Ian, I usually have a hard time listening to dnd podcasts for a variety of reasons, these guys have the balance right as far as I’m at right now episode 54 about Tasha’s book. Also I find their steady variation of topics was helpful for reminding me of things I had set up or had going on in the world as well as inspire a few ideas on ways I could improve what I’ve done so far as both a player and Dm. I believe this is an actually helpful podcast, and would encourage participants of the hobby to give these good folks a listen to!

A quick comment on where I’m at in episode 54 talking about the Tasha book:

talking about proficiency swaps and having heavy armor proficiency multiple times being redundant: I had something near identical to that pop up with one of my players so I gave her the heavy armor mastery feat. I had one who she had multiple arcana proficiencies so I was going to offer her a choice of expertise in the skill and a skill swap for the third or a magic feat she qualified for of her choice like spell sniper or ritual caster, etc. however she died before she got her first class level, got executed for murder and treason (they started at level 0, were ready to get their first class level and she wanted a warlock; in camp while training she was looking for documents on contacting a powerful litch she knew of that she knew the former owner of the knocked down tower they were camping at had information on to make a pact with him, and she got caught killing the person who found the papers who was trying to report what they found before burning it. Only reason the other found it was she rolled a nat 1 on the search check, she also rolled terribly and presented no good arguments on why the soldier who found it should give her the papers to process, and there were several that the soldier would have handed over without a roll required)
