So You Wanna Be a Dungeon Master

This week we’re going over some Common Dungeon Master Mistakes. We did almost 20 episodes ago but this time we’re looking at entries given to us on social media! So Taylor and I are going to review these common mistakes, talk about our experience with them, and offer several ideas to get better at them. Remember, everyone makes mistakes. And what even constitutes as a mistake may shift from table to table. If you want our help dire...

This week, we’re going over the brand new class, The Psion! This was released recently in the newest edition of Unearthed Arcana by D&D. A class that specializes on psionic powers has been heavily requested by the community for years and years, and it’s finally here! And don’t worry, it’s more than just telepathy and telekinesis! 

And remember to give us 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND a positive review! This helps us so much! Tell your...

Take me to Church! Because we’re getting back into the 2024 Player’s Handbook and discussing the Cleric! What’s changed, what’s the same, and is it any good?!

And since we both love the cleric so much, I expect this to be a really interesting episode, so let’s get into it!

This week we’re meeting with the realtor, we’re touring properties, and we’re freaking house huntin’ because this episode is all about BASTIONS! Most Dungeon Masters have probably given their party a stronghold, a keep, or even a villa for them to call home. We may have even homebrewed some mechanical benefits. But in the Dungeon Master’s Guide 2024, we have a whole chapter dedicated to Bastions. There’s a good amount to cover, so ...

Season 2 Finale! The gang must track down Zusk Bergos and stop him before he managed to open a portal allowing an alien army to invade! This plot is NOTHING like ANYTHING you've ever seen! This episode is full of action, drama, and comedy! And it sets up a cliffhanger for Season 3 of Sphinx City that's simply out of this world!

This week we’re going over the thing that can shape your entire game. Themes are a surefire way to make your setting and your story stand out.

We’ll cover everything you need to play the class while giving our opinions of any changes from the 2014 version. Which parts are better? Which parts feel worse?

This week, we're gonna be delving into the wild world of Avatar: the Last Airbender. We're taking a look at the Avatar Legends ttrpg by Magpie games. It's a vastly different system, where a lot of the chunkier bits of other systems have been streamlined for a more narrative style of play.
