L009 - Legend Lore - Spelljammer: Adventures in Space

E196 - Port-FOE-lios - Sorrowsworn: Attachment Issues

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast looks at a group of unique 5th Edition Shadowfell-inspired reimaginings of an old fiend from 3.5 and 4e.  The incredibly flavourful and outright upsetting Sorrowsworn are screaming to be used in almost every mid-to-high level campaign, and can easily suit Curse of Strahd, Descent into Avernus, Tomb of Annihilation, Out of the Abyss, Rime of the Frostmaiden, and so many more.  So let’s breakdown some of the best random encounters to hit your party with when they’re at their lowest, and dig into the Sorrowsworn.

E195 - Player Options - Damage and Poisons: A Healthy Dose of Hurt

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast addresses the thing that power gamers love, that min-maxers crave, and that new players have a surprising amount of difficulty wrapping their brains around: Damage.  In a game as combat-oriented as Dungeons & Dragons, damage should be one of the main aspects for players and Dungeon Masters alike to focus on manipulating.  But does everyone understand the rules?  Are there enough different kinds?  And how can a better understanding help your games moving forward.

E028D - Warlock Patrons: Who You Want on Your Team for the Papa ‘Lock Contest

In this spooky episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast, this panel of Dungeon Masters is going to look at three kinds of Warlock Patrons that most people tend to overlook:  The Celestial, The Undead, and The Fathomless.  But unlike Great Old Ones, and Fiends, these Patrons tend to not be demigods, but rather creatures of immense power.

E194 - Class - The Ranger Encore

Rangers:
Not A Chore Nor A Snore to Explore the Outdoors,
For Your Amore is the Core of the Forest and More,
So Before You Roar Galore that You Abhor or Deplore
Some Lakeshore Decor, That’s Uncalled For, You Whore.
We Implore, Evermore, That You See What’s in Store,
Furthermore This Wild Corps Born of Gore, Sores, and War,
Has A Score of Folklore to Look For, Not Ignore,
So Let’s Restore Our Rapport O’er This Ranger Encore.

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast returns with even more Rangers, covering three more subclasses:  The Drakewarden, the Fey Wanderer, and the Swarmkeeper.  These three kinds of builds all have very different flavours to them, and they feel very unique compared to other Rangers in 5th Edition so far, but this panel of Dungeon Masters is going to see if the mechanics keep them relevant and balanced, or if they should just be left to wander alone in the wilderness and fade into memory.
