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.

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.

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.
