Once More Unto The Mists

Jay and Jack Oatway — Fri, 21 May 2021 09:00:00 +0800

With the recent release of Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, we don't just take you into what this official supplement has to offer, we go deeper...much, much deeper... into The Mists.

We offer you Dark Gifts, which come with even Darker Bargains: in exchange for the next hour of your life, we give you the forbidden knowledge that is the Like Dragon Like Son Guide to Ravenloft! Insights that have taken generations to discover, refine and make decent for human consumption.

Mmmm, yes -- human consumption!!! Nom, nom, nom!

Join us for the horror, the subclasses, and lineages, and learn about where it all began, long, long ago...

Into the Cauldron, Part 2 -- The UA that made it, got nerfed, or got cut

Jay and Jack Oatway — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:00:00 +0800

In this second part of our special two-part episode, we look back at the UA documents and compare what we have been playtesting with what is now official content in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. We look at what got changed, some for the better and some for the worse. What got added that wasn't in the playtest material, and some of our favourite things that just didn't make the cut.

This is Part 2 of a special two-part series this week. For maximum enjoyment (unless you prefer leaping around the multiverse like a time traveller) start with part 1, then come back here.

DM's Workshop: College of the Dirge

Jay and Jack Oatway — Fri, 30 Oct 2020 09:00:00 +0800

This week we return to the DM's Workshop to explore one of our own homebrew subclasses for bard, the College of the Dirge. A bard which turns their bardic inspiration into a curse and draws from the clerical powers of destroying undead. We discuss tips and tricks when designing subclasses, and talk about how to design abilities around a theme.

Here's the link to the College of the Dirge subclass on D&D Beyond:

Subclasses From Beyond the Grave

Jay and Jack Oatway — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 11:00:00 +0800

This week, we take a look at the two new (as of August 14th) subclasses released from unearthed arcana, the College of Spirit Bard and The Undead warlock. We also discuss how to make functional homebrew, changes we would make to the priorly mentioned subclasses, and our experiences with homebrew in general.
