Travel & Exploration: The Journey is Half the Fun

Jay and Jack Oatway — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 09:00:00 +0800

We take a long walk into the woods of travel and exploration. This key pillar of adventure is often skipped over, but with a little bit of forethought it can provide your players with a more immersive world, and you as a DM the shared excitement of discovering the unknown.

We look at how to use random generated story that works to enhance your campaign, and how to create an easy to use system that suits your table's style of play. We discuss how to balance encounters, foraging, and weather to create fun challenges that enhance emmersion in your world.

Welcome to Like Dragon Like Son, a podcast hosted by Jay and Jack Oatway where they discuss everything D&D, from character builds to personal experiences. Stay tuned for new episodes on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Feeling the need for a little getaway? Why not send take a vacay to the fabulous Outer Planes? Let us help you decide which plane will provide the excitement you are looking for -- plus some great tips on how to use the Outlands to build you next character's back story.

With the first anniversary of the Like Dragon Like Son podcast upon us, we thought we'd give out listeners something special -- a two part episode! In Part 1 we took a quick tour of the Upper Planes, as well as did some creative brainstorming on what the gate-towns (Chapter 2 of the DMG) for each of these planes might be like. If you haven't had a listen yet, check out the episode here.

Now for Part 2! We are headed for the Lower Planes, but dont' worry, it will be more fun than you think! We also try to help you imagine how the gate-towns to those might be a bit like Las Vegas, or a really loud bar with live music...some might even call that fun.

So pack your adventure's supplies, we are going on the Grand Tour!
