  1. [THACO's Hammer] Splatbook updates

    #1
    Join DMs Glen, Fulongamer and Brian as they tackle a mysterious and well-known artifact, Baba Yaga's Hut! After listening to a voicemail from DM Cojo that sparked quite a bit of conversation, our hosts turned to the topics du jour. First, they discuss armors made of unusual metals as described in the DMG, then they talk about a 1st level fighter's best friend (because he can't afford platemail), splint and banded mail armors. Then they go on a Snipe Hunt (but not on their home terrain) for the Lizard Man and their ruler, the Lizard King. Finally, they get into the adventure module, Baba Yaga's Hut, and all of the mysteries contained therein.

    #2
    Join DMs Glen, Cory, Brian and Fulongamer for this devilishly good episode! After listening and discussing a voice mail from longtime emailer DM Cojo regarding kits and new emailer regarding the Deck of Many Things, they get down to the meat and potatoes. First they continue the Whole Cloth series by selecting the Weapon Proficiencies and Non-Weapon Proficiencies, then they dissect (verbally) the Tiefling. After that, they discuss the necessity of creating new Non-Weapon Proficiencies and how to do so, then have a brief debate regarding the 2e spell damage cap. Finally, they talk about the Baatezu, better known as Devils from previous.

    #3
    Hope you're hungry, because we have a veritable smorgasbord of 2e goodness! Join DMs Glen, Cory, Fulongamer and Brian at the table as they devour course after course. After an appetizer of an email regarding a whimsical magical item, they dig into the topic of healing rules, then move on the part IV of Whole Cloth where the kit out the characters they have made. With that digested, they turn to the rather controversial topic of using black powder, finishing just in time for the main course. First up is the Tanar'ri, the 2nd edition nomenclature for Demons, and struggle to finish the final course, the Planescape Boxed Set.

After a voicemail about running a high-level character through a solo game and an email concerning tips for painting miniatures, they delve into the topics. First up is the Castle Guide, then they guys turn to the topic of attracting followers. From there they discuss what to do as a DM when construction of the stronghold is completed, and then wrap up with a discussion about another D&D staple monster, the Basilisk!

    We were supposed to run our AP Podcast, but we decided to do a show (and a rather silly one at that) instead! Join DMs Glen, Brian, Cory and a guest to the show, DM Allie (and a last-minute joining from Fulongamer), as they host a show on the spur of the moment! After an email concerning the character level to insert new players into a game with well-established characters and a voicemail about clerical spell freecasting, they turn to the topics at hand. First, they talk about how PCs should handle navigating and surviving underground, they immediately segue into player personalities and how to deal with them as a DM, then shift topic to the subject of time passing in the campaign. From there, they discuss one of the most sought-after 1st level wizard spells, Magic Missile, then finally they turn to one of the most common foes in the D&D multiverse, the Orc just as Fulongamer tags in for his commentary on the subject, and we set a new record for people on the podcast at once!

    Its In the Book - Navigation Underground
    Rule Zero - Player Personalities and how to Handle Them as a DM/Time in the campaign

    It's time for the crew to journey into the Underdark in this episode! Join DMs Glen, Brian and Fulongamer as they delve into one of 2nd Edition's most interesting boxed adventures, Night Below, which will be handled in three parts. But first the fellas discuss an article in Dragon Magazine about PCs investing their funds, and then the sticky topic of how to deal with wishes as a player and DM. From there fencing weapons are discussed, then they wax poetic about one of the most noble and powerful creatures in all of the D&D multiverse, the Gold Dragon. Finally the first part of a three-part series discussing the Night Below boxed set is broached, The Evils of Haranshire.

    Splatbook 49 - Emails

    In this episode, join DMs Glen, Brian and Cory as they clean out the email inbox. After discussing what they have been doing in terms of gaming, they get right down to brass tacks. The first email is from Dennis Payne about saurials and how they handle the communication aspect of such, then a voice mail from long-time contributor DM Cojo who asks about energy drain and how the hosts handle it. From there, we have an email from Nathan Bouvier with questions and statements about dungeon design, spellbooks, turning an adventure idea on its ear and how the players and DM deal with it, and suggestions (kinda) on things he wants to hear us cover. Before we get to another one DM Fulongamer joins the fun, and they handle another voicemail from DM Cojo who asked about using dragons in combat.

Join DMs Glen, Cory, Fulongamer and Brian as they answer the alluring call of the Forgotten Realms once again, this time journeying to the expansive wilderness known as The North.

    Make sure your chainmail is repaired and your blades are sharpened, because we are going way back in this episode! Join DMs Glen, Brian, Cory and Fulongamer and special guest and longtime contributor DM Cojo as we delve into another of the historical splatbooks! But before that is done, they answer emails about XP splitting with a multiclassed character, using monster poison on weapons, new players taking over existing characters, and the topic of dual-classing.

    With those done, they move on to the topics. First they riff on gaining proficiencies, then they have a discourse on what to do as a DM when the party is incomplete. From there they tackle the deadly Aurumvorax, and then with a big assist from DM Cojo (who is a schoolteacher, dontchaknow), they discuss the second historical green splatbook, Charlemagne's Paladins.
