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 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

This week, we start our in-depth tour of the planes by visiting the Feywild, talking about prominent locations within, and how to get there. We also spend no small amount of time discussing how to utilize the Feywild in your home game, and which classes we feel would benefit most from having a jaunt into the Feywild.
This episode ran a bit longer than normal, and we apologize for the audio quality dropping out in some spots. This is the last episode we are recording using our old method (using OBS to record over Discord), so hopefully our new method will result in more uniform, clearer audio in the future.
