A podcast where we create and discuss homebrew content for tabletop roleplaying games, primarily Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Here, we try to expand on the options presented to us in the published material, to offer some guidance for aspiring storytellers trying to figure out how to make their big ideas become reality. Here, we stir the pot and lick the spoon. Logo art by David Sutherland - find him on Deviant Art: https://rb.gy/hqmjgo

Merry Tarrasquemas! It's been one full year of podcast episodes, and we're here to celebrate with a one-shot adventure - specifically, Zikran's Zephyrean Tome from Candlekeep Mysteries.
Today's cast has James as the Dungeon Master; Ian as Ereshki, the orc champion fighter; Mary Crowell as Lawbringer Trebin, the hobgoblin war cleric; Mitch Wallace as Gimble Shadowscale, the kobold thief rogue; and C.R. Rowenson as Lady Serissa, the yuan-ti pureblood enchantment wizard.
We want to thank all of you who listen to our podcast for helping us make it to one year. We're just so glad that, though we're talking into the void, there's someone in the void who listens. Here's to another year of interviews, homebrew, and lore!

This week, we jump into the Pit and visit the varied layers of the Nine Hells of Baator. We talk contracts, the Fifth Element, and how everything is actually just Dante's Inferno, as we go through each layer in succession.
We've restructured the pledge values for our Patreon, and have opened up our Discord to everyone! Come on over and talk nerd stuff with us!

This week, we continue our trek through the planes as we visit the Infinite Layers of the Abyss. Join us as we discuss soul-eating transdimensional ships, the super cool demon that isn't so super cool anymore, and why the phrase "river of liquid salt crystals" makes absolutely no sense.

This week, we return to our planar travels as we visit the Olympian Glades of Arborea, the Plane of Chaotic Good. Join us as we discuss the elven afterlife, full of massive trees, killer parties, and literal D&D Las Vegas. Plus celestial eladrin, titan ruins, and a sea-lion god that hunts sharks, just because.

This week, we welcome Mitchell Wallace from Penny for a Tale to discuss his new game Necrobiotic, which was recently successfully funded on Kickstarter. Necrobiotic is a melancholy dystopian game set in Florence, Italy in the year 2100, where humanity is clawing back from the brink of collapse by creating constructs from the bodies of the dead to perform menial labor.
You can find Mitchell on Twitter at the handle @PennyforaTale, and you can visit Penny for a Tale online at pennyforatale.com. Links to the Necrobiotic landing page on Kickstarter can be found in both locations.
CONTENT WARNING: We do discuss aspects and elements of body horror in this episode, as it is an integral part of Necrobiotic.

This week, we take a break from our planar travels to present another piece of homebrewed content for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition: the Dragoon class. Based heavily on the archetypical Dragoon, Kain, from Final Fantasy IV, this highly mobile spear-wielding warrior will rock your table with its high-risk, high-reward martial play style. We hope you love it as much as we do.

This week, we travel into Limbo, the Everchanging Chaos. We'll have no need of the Heart of Gold, as the whole plane is an Infinite Improbability Drive of psionic monks, chaos-born toad men, and the infinite flux of creation and destruction.
