    Ep.133 - Helping Players Roleplay

    This week we’re setting out to help Dungeon Masters who are trying to bring their players into the promised land known as Roleplay. For some, it may be the epitome of cringe. But that’s because they’re imagining a forced roleplay encounter during a corporate sales meeting. We, of course, refer to the art of portraying another person, of mastering empathy through acting, of collaborating with confidence.

    BONUS ACTION: Pokémon Subclasses for D&D

    Hey Gang! For this week, we are posting our most recent Bonus Action episode instead of a new episode. These come out bi-weekly over on our Patreon and help us to continue creating D&D and TTRPG Content! Check it out!  Also... in light of recent events in the United States. Let us say, Fuck ICE, Abolish ICE, and Prosecute ICE. These gestapo-esque paramilitary bootlickers of trump are not making our country safer. They are actively kidnapping and murdering people, both immigrant and citizens. And we at SYWBADM stand firmly with our immigrant siblings. Immigrants built this nation. Stand together, stand up, and get involved.  Music by Epidemic Sound Use our Link to check out Epidemic Sound for all your music and sound effect needs.

    Ep.109 - Dungeons 101

    This week we’re going to be talking all about the D in D&D. From the Tomb of Horrors to the Tomb of the Nine Gods, Dungeons have been a huge part of D&D’s history. Back in the day, a dungeon crawl could be an entire campaign lasting years. These days, it feels like Dungeons don’t get the love they deserve. So today we’re going to talk about what a dungeon is, how to create one, and how to make your dungeon special.

    Ep.108 - Mörk Borg 101

    This week we’re going to be covering the popular TTRPG that has inspired so many spin-offs, Mörk Borg! This deadly setting and game are coming out of Ockult Ortmastare Games and Stockholm Kartell. I’ve heard this game described as a Death Metal TTRPG. The graphic design certainly evokes that vibe. But what exactly is Mörk Borg, how do you play, and most importantly what kind of stories can it help us tell?

    Ep.106 - Non Combat Encounters 101

    This week we’re going to be talking about Encounters without combat! D&D is a TTRPG system that pretty much focuses on combat. During our Class breakdown episodes, we’ve criticized certain classes for having so few out-of-combat abilities or feats. You can see the designers tried to fix some of this with certain 2024 changes, lookin’ at you Barbarians! So today, let’s talk about encounters that Dungeon Masters can use that don’t involve combat as the only solution!

    Ep.104 - Party Split 101

    This week we’re going to be covering one of the most talked about tropes in all of Dungeons & Dragons: Splitting the party! Some people love it, most either hate it or have a fear of it. And in this case, everyone’s kind of right. Splitting the party is the culprit of many a TPK, whether it’s an in-game party wipe or out-of-game friction at the table. Today, Taylor and I are going to address all the potential pitfalls of party splitting, and put together some paths for players and DMs to follow so party splits aren’t the BBEG!

    This week, kick your feet up, take off your coat, and hang up your hat because we’re staying at home! Bastions were one of the more exciting things added to the 2024 edition of the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Whether you’re the Justice League or the Legion of Doom, you’ve got a home base. And in Episode 76 we go over Bastions at a surface level discussing the broad points. This week, we’re getting down and dirty into domicile domains, you daring dingos!

    This week we’re going to be leading a workshop for Dungeon Masters on creating settings, making locations, filling the map with fun and interesting places to visit. This is the Build-A-World Workshop! We’ve done this on the Bonus Action already, but now we’re here on the main pod to keep the good times rolling! This will be a LIVE experience. We may have an outline, but we will be randomly generating the tent poles keeping the circus tent up.

    This week we’re going to be taking a look at homebrewing your own monsters! As a Dungeon Master, there eventually come a time when the Monster Manual or even a 3rd Party book doesn’t meet the type of baddie you’re trying to evoke. Now, there’s altering an existing Monster or creating a brand new one. And where will we pull inspiration from?

    This week we’re going to be taking a look back at So You Wanna Be a DM. Episode 1 of the podcast was posted on December 18, 2023 and we introduced ourselves to the world. Since then, we have posted every single Wednesday nonstop. We’ve started a Twitch, produced several Actual Plays, fostered communities on social media and discord, and we’re just getting started! But today, let’s take a look at how far we’ve come.

    This week we’re going to be covering the 2024 Ranger. The class that easily got the most shit out of 2014 despite it often being the DM or Player’s fault… has gotten a glow up? Is it a glow up? We’re going to investigate. As always, these are our opinions but we’re going to take a look at what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and if any of it is good or necessary. I’ve heard a lot of it has to do with Hunter’s Mark, so let’s jump right into it! And remember to give us 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND a positive review!

In Game of Thrones, Jorah Mormont catches Greyscale, but luckily is one of the very few survivors. In Lord of the Rings, Frodo is poisoned by Shelob’s fangs and it’s why Sam thought he was dead.

Is it an essential part of Dungeons & Dragons, just a possible way to play the game, or does it actively harm the good times and story of the table? Well, let’s talk about it!

    Ep.96 - Dungeon Masters & Character Creation

    This week we’re going to be revisiting the topic of Character Creation. We’ve discussed Species in ep 88, we’ve been discussing the character classes little by little, and we talked about Feats in ep 92. Along the way, we mentioned how the DM can help their players use these tools to create the characters they want to embody and play as. But how can they help Dungeon Masters? Whether it’s worldbuilding, tone setting, plot hooking, or just being a good DM, Character Creation gives us a lot we can work with. And remember to give us 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND a positive review!
