Is Spelljammer a Bit of a Thin Update?
Episode | August 27th, 2022 | 49 mins 44 secs
adding flavor, cosmic horror, revised, spelljammer, tips, weirdness
As much as we love all things D&D, there are moments when we stop and ask: "Is that all you are giving me?" As experienced DMs we do a lot of homebrew, but that's not the case for everyone. And there is something nice about having a ruleset that is standardized between tables. So when we are looking at a scant 60 pages of Astral Adventurer's Guide, there's a lot more we need to bring to Spelljammer. This week, Jay and Jack talk about all the pre-existing resources that can be adapted to your Spelljammer campaign.

Revised Monk: Beyond the Flurry of Blows
Episode | November 5th, 2021 | 57 mins 48 secs
ki, monk, revised, steal this character
We believe that class design should be about archetypes not stereotypes. Currently, however, all monks kind of look the same, and it takes real effort to style them into something less obvious. That means taking a step back and looking at the whole class differently, and in particular how to use Ki differently.

Raising the Banneret: Workshopping a Revised Purple Dragon Knight
Episode | June 25th, 2021 | 58 mins 21 secs
adding flavor, fighter, point buy, revised, steal this character, subverting tropes, support role, tips, weirdness
There are some subclasses which no one plays because, well, they kind of suck. We often ask what it would take to make them suck less -- but also not to get too overpowered that they make the DM want to pull out their hair. This week both Jay and Jack bring some ideas together on what the Banneret subclass (aka Purple Dragon Knight) is all about (leadership), and how to bring out the best of that theme.

Sorcerer Redux: Better With Spell Points
Episode | May 14th, 2021 | 55 mins 42 secs
adding flavor, point buy, revised, sorcerer, spell points, steal this character, subverting tropes, tips, weirdness
In the back of the DM's Guide is an often overlooked section about using spell points instead of spell slots. While many dismiss this as too confusing, on closer examination, this might be just the ticket for giving sorcerers that extra love they deserve...that and a few other tweaks, which we discus in this episode.
