I listened to Mastering Dungeons this morning and those same two guys were on their show. Oddly enough Shawn Merwin was absent from Lorecast during this interview; I wonder if it was because they were going to be on his and Teos’ podcast and he didn’t want it to be repetitive.

That’s how it starts. Then, the next thing you know, all the mounts are banding together to form a union.

I can’t say I’ve ever struggled with this distinction. As I understand it, Clerics and Paladins worship Gods/Deities. Warlocks make a pact with powerful beings that aren’t quite a Gods/Deities. It’s more like the mafia: you make a bargain to gain something on your end, with the understanding...

I play in Exandria, so I mostly use that pantheon with a few additions. I use all the Prime Deities, Betrayer Gads, and Lesser Idols, but I also borrowed a few Species-specific gods from the Forgotten Realms like Garl Glittergold and Yondalla. Exandria already has Corellon, Moradin, Bahamuut...

I’ve lived in the Boston area all 52 years of my life and this is the first time I’ve ever heard about putting cheese on apple pie 🤮 EDIT: I asked my wife and she said she has indeed heard of doing it. She also said she enjoys slicing apples and putting cheddar cheese on it. But she grew up...

@Morrus Is Jess going to force you to play this in the background of all future podcast?

My last session was AMAZING! For a while, my daughter and I had been trying to convince my cousin’s daughter to give D&D a chance. Back in September we were finally successful and we had a pretty decent session - I created a one-shot that could be turned into a full campaign if she wanted to...

And continue the Mastering Dungeons podcast.

Maybe that NPC was just very negligent about sharpening their sword 🤷🏻‍♂️

Part of me is glad you used Chicago and New York instead of Boston and New York, because that might be putting a match to a powder keg. But, if you had, you could have ended with contrasting the clam chowder differences.

Like so many of my beloved childhood favorites! Every time I watch something that I grew up loving, it's not as good as little Gorck remembers it. For example, I couldn't get enough of The Dark Crystal when I was younger. But I watched it with my daughter and all I could hear was constant...

I feel like this could be more succinctly described as “Luck”

I wish I could ask him how he would feel about the Cartographer if it allowed you to cast Faerie Fire without concentration. But I don’t know how to contact him (I’m not into Discord, if that’s the method).

The Arcane Trickster can’t either. So maybe they only gave it to full-casters, but not quarter-casters 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, I got the impression at the beginning of Campaign 2, that the players had broken off into 3 separate groups and played “background sessions“ that got them up to at least level 2 at the start of the stream. If memory serves me correctly, the groups were: Mollymauk & Yasha Nott & Calib...
