1d6 Rumors For Your Next Tavern
In this episode (the last of Married Couple May), we go through the history of combat actions through different versions of D&D to see how much they’ve changed. But don’t fall asleep in class yet, because we’re also building a 1d6 roll table of juicy rumours your players might hear in town… and I heard it’s a good one! We also heard Alec is back next week… stay tuned to find out if he’s been listening to the pod while he’s been away!

A Vial of Oil, Manacles, and an Abacus
We’ve gone fully off the rails without Alec. In this episode we share 2 more show & tell items, including a homebrewed Ranger subclass inspired by a character from Baldur’s Gate, and a sneaky BUT LEGAL way to get part of a MCDM resource for free! And then we play a game of Unhinged Shopping Spree, where we look through the D&D Shop Catalogue and try to put together shopping list combinations that would make a DM go “…huh.” If you want to play along at home, you can find the 5e D&D Shop Catalogue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/m8w8c6/updated_more_inclusive_5e_dd_shops_catalog_v201/Free Preview of Flee, Mortals by MCDM - https://files.mcdmproductions.com/FleeMortals/FleeMortalsPreview.pdfThe Witchguard Ranger Conclave - https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-Lo6LebHRmJigtIzXYUy

A Tragic Lord of the Rings Birthday Party
In this episode, we deep dive into Kelly’s villain origin story, starting with his Lord of the Rings-themed 12th birthday party. We also build characters inspired by Indiana Jones, and try to guess the prices of D&D collabs and the 1977 box set (Spoiler: we’re very bad at it).

What the Heck is a Point Crawl?
In this episode, we finally share our second show and tell items, including a resource for unique roll tables, a tool for mapping out point crawls, and a TTRPG where you play lovers trying to uncover the secrets behind a mysterious artifact.

A Fallout-Inspired D&D Adventure
For show & tell, we discuss an ambient music map, a DIY Daggerheart fear tracker, and a 3-person TTRPG where you get to play witches in a mending circle. We also build the skeleton for a Fallout-inspired adventure, just in time for the season 2 finale! And finally, we play an extremely silly round of 2 DMs 1 Player, where Kelly drops some very timely pop culture references… about 30 years too late.Ambiance Architect - https://ambiancearchitect.itch.io/ambiance-architectSword-in-the-Stone Fear Tracker - https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerheart/comments/1pz4u20/my_new_fear_tracker/ The Mending Circle - https://sharkbombs.itch.io/the-mending-circle

Daggerheart isn’t NSFW Enough
In this episode, we share 3 show & tell items that range from NSFW Daggerheart homebrew features about orgies, to helpful roll tables, to an ambient music app for in-person play… you can figure out who brought what. We also attempt to build an adventure based on the movie Speed featuring the man we all have a crush on: Keanu Reeves. Finally, we finish off with a game of 2 DMs 1 Player where the word is actually said a LOT… including by one of the DMs! d4 Caltrops - https://blog.d4caltrops.com/Lust Domain - https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerheart/comments/1pattfk/nsfw_lewdheart_domains/Tabletone App - https://www.tabletone.app/

Building Keanu Reeves-Inspired D&D Characters
In our first episode of 2026, we share some fun new show & tell items including a sci-fi-themed heist system, two articles by Kelly’s favourite person in the world (Sly Flourish), and a solo journaling RPG (because the new year is a perfect time to start journaling!). We also build three different 5e characters based on Keanu Reeves characters, and Alec gives a most triumphant summary of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Finally, we finish off with our first 2 DMs 1 Player round of the year, and this time, it’s Alec’s turn to be the player… so you know there will be a little chaos!Shadowdark House Rules - https://slyflourish.com/shadowdark_house_rules.htmlRunning Shadowdark's Scarlet Minotaur as a One-Shot Game - https://slyflourish.com/running_shadowdarks_scarlet_minotaur_as_a_one_shot.htmlStealing the Throne by Nick Bate - https://ickbat.itch.io/stealing-the-throneThe Wisteria Road - https://longblade-publishing.itch.io/wisteria-road

We also go through our favourite Show & Tell items of the year, and give them very real, not at all made up awards that have no monetary value. And finally, we play a round of 2 DMs 1 Player where Kelly is ENCOURAGED to say the secret word… because he’s the player!!

We also design a Squid Game-inspired adventure with dangerous encounters based on children’s games, and end off with a round of 2 DMs 1 Player that takes place at a gym (which we are all equally knowledgeable about and comfortable improvising)!
