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, Bangarang, Oxley, Mica, and Vaca begin to explore the innards of the tarrasque. They find two members of the Ironfield, both worse for wear, and discover that years of hard living and avoiding the doctor have left the tarrasque's organs in a terrible state.
We want to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Tarrasquemas, and hope you get your Tarrasquemas cake and all the wondrous items you asked for!
Cast:
James Daley as Mica
Hannah Miller (@Bad8uddhist) as Bangarang
Eric Holden (@goblinscorner) as Oxley
Mary Crowell (@DrMaryCCrowell) as Vaca

This week, we begin our anniversary game! We are joined by special guests Hannah Miller (@Bad8uddhist), Mary Crowell (@DrMaryCCrowell), and Eric Holden (@goblinscorner) as we slog through "The Tarrasque Task of Moreen Trask".
The quiet desert town of Dubufi is rudely awakened when the gnomish archmage Moreen Trask flies in, being chased by a 600-foot-tall, 1200-foot-long living apocalypse engine. She convinces the party that there is an item that can neutralize the beast, but with one caveat: the item was eaten, along with its most recent wielder. After some ingenuity and collateral damage, the party makes an unconventional entrance and must now muck about the beast's innards in search of the artifact Blightspore.

This week, we celebrate episode 100! It's been a long and tiring road, and we are so glad to have shared it with you.
This week, we're joined by some repeat guests for a hangout and Q&A episode: Jack from Of Gods and Gamemasters (@JackGogsbane), Mike from 19 Hits the Dragon (@19HitstheDragon), Rob from Worldbuild With Us (@LetsWorldbuild), and Jon from Tale of the Manticore (@ManticoreTale). It was a grand old time, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
As we mention, we are taking the month of September off, and will be going biweekly when we return in October. This is both to relax some of the stress of putting out weekly episodes and to start creating better and more consistent content outside of the podcast, specifically for our Patreon. Stay tuned for details on what else we are working on.

This week, we shamelessly hop onto the bandwagon and bring you a lore dive on the Original Lich: Vecna, the Whispered One. Join us as we discuss the Lord of Secrets, including his history in D&D through the editions, his biography, and some of the many magic items which have Vecna's dusty fingerprints all over them, from the Sword of Kas and the Book of Vile Darkness to the various parts of Vecna himself.
We reference two videos during this episode: one by AJ Pickett, and another by Matt Colville. You can find those episodes here:
