E186 - Off to the Races - Goblinoids: An Evening with the Perfect Host

Tuesday Aug 30, 2022

Goblins are relatively popular player characters, but how often do people jump at the opportunity to be one of the other Goblinoid options in D&D 5th Edition? Today the panel of Dungeon Masters is going to sit down and look at the pros and cons of playing a Goblin, Hobgoblin, or Bugbear. What are the mechanical strengths? What roleplaying opportunities are there? And what classes fit the best? … And don’t worry: The It’s A Mimic! podcast is finally going to give the Verdan some love.

E187 - Class - Monks: Martial Artisans

Tuesday Aug 16, 2022

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast returns with one more Monk subclass, the Way of the Ascendant Dragon, and then looks at an often-forgotten aspect of monastery life: crafting. In real life, many Monks hone an art or a craft, and focus their energies by dedicating themselves to a single, useful talent. Dungeons & Dragons addresses this practice in theory, but so few players really lean on this potentially powerful and character-defining aspect of their character. The panel of Dungeon Masters looks into the different artisan’s tools that are available, and offers some insights into what’s useful, and what unique ways there are to capitalize on this aspect of the game.

Tuesday Jul 26, 2022

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast is going to return to one of the creatures that the panel of Dungeon Masters did a deep dive on in episode 128: The Dragon Turtle. It’s another return to the pages of Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons to see what the probably-stoned wizard has to say about these gargantuan dragons that live in the oceans, and all the havoc they might wreak in your campaigns.

E182 - Port-FOE-lios - Trolls: Generating Sub-Limb-inal Horrors

Tuesday Jul 19, 2022

In this episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the Panel of Dungeon Masters sits down with a classic type of enemy that used to be a staple foe at D&D tables, but seems to be less common in 5th Edition: Trolls. Low-level parties dread them, and if you don’t know the trick to keeping them down, you’re in for a bad day. So arm yourselves appropriately (that’s a Troll pun), and get ready for the nastiest nasties this side of Uncle Terry. Because today, we cover the basic Troll, the Rot Troll, and the Venom Troll.
