DMDC 14 - The Aftermath of the Reptile God
October 14, 2020 10:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MBIt's over! Almost! For real this time, I swear. The group has been trying to kill this evil snakething for close to ten sessions and the moment is finally here, including all of the stuff that happens when they get back to town. More sadness awaits, but just maybe a smidge of hope that things aren't as terrible as when they left Orlane the first time.

DMDC 13 - The Dungeon of the Reptile God II
October 07, 2020 10:00 - 17 minutes - 11.9 MBThe Party Without A Significant Identifier Yet is back with more exploration of the dungeon of Explicita Defilus! We're getting close to finishing this quest, since it's more inevitable than eventual that they succeed. Unless I've just been setting this up this whole time to talk about how I wiped the party because of my own knack for underestimating encounter deadliness. Bad move on my part if that's true.

DMDC 12 - The Dungeon of the Reptile God I
September 30, 2020 10:00 - 18 minutes - 12.9 MBPart 1 of the 2 Part, 5 or 6 Part Sub-Series! Alright they're in the dungeon this time, so it's dungeon time again - still no dragons in sight but look they're just level 2/3 babies doing there best out here in a dangerous world. They'll find dragons eventually, I promise! Twitter: @dmdcpodcast E-mail: [email protected] Tunes: "Nightfall" by Eric Godlow "Charcoal" by Chad Crouch Support the show
DMDC 11 - Infiltrating the Cult of the Reptile God
September 23, 2020 10:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBSo yeah, it didn't go great for the party last time but at least they made it out alive. They're short-handed and need to figure out how to proceed from there. It's not like they'll just cut their losses and bail out early right? They wouldn't leave their friend to perish at the hands of the cult. Right?

DMDC 10 - The Village of the Cult of the Reptile God
September 16, 2020 10:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MBNow we're in the meat of it, the gross filthy chunk of the module! Things get interesting as soon as the players make their way into the village of Orlane, quickly going downhill for them - in ways I wasn't even expecting. Also, it seems I have a real problem pronouncing the word "troglodyte."

DMDC 09 - The Trail to the Cult of the Reptile God
September 09, 2020 10:00 - 13 minutes - 9.31 MBTime for some module talk - or at least the build towards it. I got the chance to run the classic module Against the Cult of the Reptile God (meaning my friends took the bait I set for them) and it ended up being one of the high points of not just my campaign, but from all of my gaming experiences. So let's talk about it for a while! This is the first in I'm not sure how many episodes talking about this module, but it'll definitely be highlighting what I think you could really get out of run...
DMDC 08 - Companion Downtime
September 02, 2020 10:00 - 13 minutes - 9.24 MBJust like in real life, your friends are going to want to make friends with imaginary people you pull from your head. There's plenty of things you can do with that, and not just to break their hurts and deliver soul crushing disasters upon them. Sometimes they just, y'know, hang out. Like real people. These ones just might have scales or cast lightning bolts. Twitter: @dmdcpodcast E-mail: [email protected] Tunes: "Nightfall" by Eric Godlow "Tavern Loop One" by Serpent Sound Stud...
Turn Tabled - Gen Con Online
August 26, 2020 10:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBWow! A new episode? It's like I finally got it together so I can upload something - but nah, it's been pretty hectic over here at DMDCPCHQ. I did take some time to enjoy Gen Con weekend though, as a player no less. Got to play a lot of great games with a lot of great people, and figured it'd make for a good experience to share. Campaign logs aren't going anywhere, just taking a quick break from them for this episode. More of these Turn Tabled episodes will also likely pop-up in the future! ...

DMDC 05 - The Guided Tour & Decision Paralysis
June 16, 2020 10:00 - 19 minutes - 13.1 MBI realize now I am guilty about stringing my players along through scripted scenarios. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I sure do talk about it a lot this episode. Plus when players get some decision paralysis, so hopefully one of those will prove useful in hindsight.

DMDC 04 - Here Comes a New Adventurer!
June 10, 2020 21:00 - 13 minutes - 9.58 MBAt some point, your friends will talk about you playing D&D. And then those friends will probably want to play D&D with you. You probably have space at your table, so how about an episode about handling new members?

DMDC 03 - Flight or Flight
June 02, 2020 10:00 - 14 minutes - 9.66 MBAh yes another one - finally back and doing this podcast thing again. Talking about fleeing, perhaps not fleeing? Who knows! The trio of adventurer's reach the shore, only trading one dangerous circumstance for another.

DMDC 02 - Now Venture Forth
May 11, 2020 10:00 - 11 minutes - 7.91 MBYou're feeling good, you've got your party, they've got their character sheets - but wait! Now it's time to actually start playing the game! So you have your first adventure, and odds are good the players will throw a wrench into those plans. Don't worry though, you're the DM. They'll find the adventure, or adventure will find them, or something like that right?

May 04, 2020 15:00 - 2 minutes - 2.04 MBHey! Hello! Hi! Welcome to this new show, yikes it's really happening isn't it? Well I guess I'll talk about myself for a while and then talk about why I love D&D so much and hopefully it's enough for you to want to stick around for more of my rambling. Support the show
