I Cast Guidance - A Dungeons and Dragons and TTRPG Podcast

The Roleplay Acting/Not Acting Argument.

In this episode, we have special guest, Rich Frohman, a professional actor and an avid D&D player join our conversation about Roleplay. We look at a number of angles including the very click-baitable issue of acting in role-playing. Come along. 

Considering the New Player - feat: Rachel - Faint Divinities, Nathan Gilvey

In this episode we talk about creating an environment for the new player that is welcoming, not too overwhelming and hopefully one where the player digs into the passion of the game. 

Improving Note Taking in D&D

Flow and immersion are often interrupted by note taking. Can we get better at this? Garret and I talk about the ways we take notes and chat about how can we do it better. 

Initiative, Jazz and Chess are all Related

In this episode, Todd and Garret talk about Initiative rolls for better or worse. We also look at this as the analytical balance to the expression of role playing.

The critical strike rule in D&D is really broken. There are a ton of house rules out there to fix it... but can we do better?

Spell Components in D&D 5e

We are talking about the problems with spell components in Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Garret and Todd get into some thoughts on this. 

Problematic Players and Dungeon Masters

In this episode, special guests Atticus and Eric Fiorito and I talk about when there are problematic players or DM's at the table and how do we handle that. 

Armor and Armor Class

Armor is so important and we often ignore the nuances around repair and upkeep. We get into that in this episode as well as look at AC mechanics that work better than D&D and consider using them in our D&D game.
