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 take some time to discuss an assortment of low-CR monsters in D&D 5th edition, and how to utilize them in more thematic and dynamic ways. Join us as we discuss the old mainstays of goblins and kobolds, as well as the lesser-used mephits and bullywugs, and how you might be able to kill... err... challenge your players. Yes, challenge.
Our 1000 follower giveaway is still going on, and we will be drawing our winner on Wednesday, June 9th, so make sure you enter! https://twitter.com/UCThomebrew/status/1397572236769378307

We've decided to take in a live show before we head to the Outer Planes in our planar travels, so this week, we have three new homebrewed bard colleges to share with you: the College of Metal, the College of Sophistry, and the College of Truthweaving.
This episode started with the Metal Bard, which was inspired by the recent Worldbuild With Us series, The Land of a Thousand Decibels, which you can find here.
We are also celebrating reaching 1000 followers on Twitter, so listen all the way to the end for the special comment instructions that are part of our giveaway, which ends June 9th, 2021! Details for the giveaway can be found on the pinned post of our Twitter account until the giveaway closes.

This week, we finish up our trek through the Inner Planes, visiting the Paraelemental Planes of Ice, Smoke, Magma, and Ooze, and talking about notable landmarks and denizens there. We also spend too little time talking about the Elemental Chaos (because it doesn't really fit into the Great Wheel cosmology), and give a brief overview of the Quasielemental Planes.

This week, we jump into the elemental sandblaster as we continue our tour of the prime Elemental Planes. We discuss the Plane of Air, with its Citadel of Ice and Steel housing an unknown prisoner, as well as the Plane of Earth, and how it would be a really cool place to visit if the Dao weren't such terrible individuals.

We begin our tour of the Inner Planes this week, discussing the Elemental Planes of Fire and Water. We look back into 2e Planescape and the 3.5e Manual of the Planes to build on the meager details we have been given in 5e, to give you the tools you need to send your players to deal with the efreeti or the marids.

This week, we shift our planar discussion to the transitive planes: the Ethereal and Astral. We discuss how they work, what hazards you might find on them, how you might get to them without 7th-level spells, and some adventure hooks if you want to linger for a while.
We also geek out over Astral Dreadnaughts for a bit.

This week, we invite Reddit creator Elliot (u/MothProphet) on to discuss the topic addressed in the bulk of his Reddit post An Exploration into 5e's Damage Types, in a little under 6000 words. We talk about the differences between devils and demons, why beasts don't like loud noises, and returning to a time when Cold Iron meant something to the fey. Topping it all off, we have the return of the Weird Bug Generator, where the dice help us create an oversized druid grove parasite.

This week, we dive back into our planar travels with a journey to the Shadowfell, discussing what you might find there and how you can get your players through into the Material Plane's dark echo without resorting to 7th-level spells.
A content warning for this week's episode: the Shadowfell is a gloomy and depressing place. As such, any discussion going in depth in the Shadowfell will inevitably turn to topics that may negatively affect some people, especially those with PTSD or depressive conditions.

This week, we are joined by Rob, Chris, and Daniel from the Worldbuild With Us podcast to build a scenario in the world we helped design on their podcast last week. Will you side with the Archdruid of the Kudzu, avatar of the goddess of nature, and its Bloodthorn Basilisk, or will you defend the Springstrider with Captain Marut and the Inevitables?
We highly recommend listening to part 1 on the Worldbuild With Us podcast, here: Mowed Down by the Springwalker
