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

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 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.
