In the debut of our narrated, short-fiction series, Ian relays the origins of one of his very first characters, Eld. A half-elf born in a zealous high-elven society, Eld is shunned for his human lineage and forced to undergo grueling hardship in order to become "worthy" of his elven blood. But one day, something happens that will change his life forever... will he finally break free of his shackles?
In this episode of Behind the Screens, we talk to David, AKA the Roaming Gnoll on Roll20, who walks us through his DMing experience and the experience he tries to craft at his Table. Ian personally got to experience this through his module, Harpy Death Pit, which you can find on Roll20 today!
"Own your mistakes so your mistakes don't own you."
Here we dive deep into building trust and clear resources at the table, and the beautiful growth that trying new things, no matter how uncomfortable, can bring us.

We lost someone in our dojo family and our quest community shortly before recording this episode. Our hearts go out to the family, and we will be forever changed by this player's passing...but we must continue. A player's personal story may end, but their impact echoes through eternity. Their saga continues through each person who had the honor of knowing them, even if just for a short time.
Rest In Peace, little buddy...

This episode marked the death of one of my laptops, and the new laptop used to re-record and edit down some of the old audio is VERY QUIET in comparison. Way less moments of spiking the audio, but you may have to turn this one up a bit.

Recent Listener Testimonial: "I feel like I'm listening to D&D NPR...and it's good!" :)
John and I were a little off last time, so we make up for lost time by venturing through the Bard subclasses, then tackling the Barbarian in-depth, along with our own quick musings on using music in your campaigns and my observation of an extreme lack of mechanical teamwork combinations throughout 5E (probably a later topic to explore).
Thanks for tuning in. I'll see you at the table.
Topics covered in this episode: 5th Edition D&D, Bard Subclasses, Barbarian Class, Barbarian Subclasses, Music in Campaigns, and (minimal, for now) Teamwork Class Combinations.
Join John and I as we take a deep look at the Bard - what makes it cool, versatile, and totally awesome in 5th Edition D&D for new and old players alike. We also swing by some of our favorite multi-classing options so far in the system.
This one went even longer than the last, so I think we'll trim our format down to one big topic each episode...until we change our minds.
Thanks for stopping by. Roll well, fellow adventurers.
We always get the best thoughts in the shower...
Join John and I in our first episode of a soon-to-be weekly podcast where we discuss fan-voted topics, our own musings on D&D, Pathfinder, Deadlands, and A TON of other systems, and game design as a whole in a thoughtful and totally nerdy tangental setting.
Today's episode features:
NPC to Character Bonds, Player Agency, a look into Adamus's Parallel Classes and some features and stories of his custom world, John and Adamus's discussion and solutions for the Beast Master Ranger, and an awesome Pokemon theory (remember, we said tangental).
