X003 - Wizards Tower - Frilnar in the Cargo Car

Friday Apr 01, 2022

In this special April Fools Day special, the It's A Mimic! podcast gets back around the table to have some crazy arcane shenanigans with the one and only ne'er-do-well (as in they never do well) thieves guild: The Black Hand. That's okay, though, as the guild has sent three of its top agents, Human Bard Inspara Dice (played by Kyle), Copper Dragonborn Fighter Kalope "Kall" (played by Megan), and Lizardfolk Ranger Nuxlokkusk Ugurqozk Grarzixxausk (dammit... blame his player, DAVE) - to retrieve the "Eye of the Beholder" a powerful elemental gem. And where is it, you might ask? At the helm of the Sovereign's Song, a lightning rail servicing the route from the City of Towers to the monstrous country Droaam. Dungeon Masters Dan, Adam, and Terry have put together a fun little challenge on The Sovereign's Song, but none of our illustrious DM's know what the former has prepped. It's bound to be a chaotic romp in an It's A Mimic! actual play of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition!

E166 - Class - Monks: A Predisposition for the Tradition of Composition, Attrition, and Repetition

Tuesday Mar 29, 2022

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast returns to the pages of Xanathar’s Guide to Everything to cover the last subclass listed there, before looking at the pages of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything to see what new Monastic Traditions there are for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. It’s not all punch punch kick kick, though, as the panel of Dungeon Masters has discovered. So grab your brass knuckles and put on your gi, as this episode launches into three more subclasses, as well as the Optional Class Features offered in Tasha’s.

E162 - Dungeon Mastery - Stat Blocks: How to Assign, Define, and Align the Benign and Maligned Baseline Design

Tuesday Mar 01, 2022

Last time the It’s A Mimic! podcast discussed Dungeon Mastering, the panel of Dungeon Masters covered power creep and why you should manage the mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons more closely. This time, the DM’s tear apart the stat blocks and see what two decades of experience have taught them about reading between the lines when it comes to deciphering monster stats.

The panel of Dungeon Masters has stirred the pot looking for every tasty morsel of information to be found, but some of the answers are definitely more horrifying than the others.

E158 - Off to the Races - A Million Reptilian Civilians

Tuesday Feb 01, 2022

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast is going to crack open Volo’s Guide to Monsters and see what 5th Edition has to bring to the table when it comes to some of the reptilian anthropomorphic playable races. Okay, so Kobolds aren’t strictly reptilian, but they’re definitely a step further away from dragons than Dragonborn are, and we know from previous editions that Kobolds shed their skin like other reptiles and are cold-blooded, so this panel of Dungeon Masters is counting them as being just as reptilian as Lizardfolk and Yuan-ti Purebloods. Today’s episode is going to focus on these playable races from a Player perspective, so if you’d like deep dives into each of these races, we covered Kobolds in depth in Episodes 50 and 106, Lizardfolk in E112, and Yuan-ti in Episodes E113 and E114. These episodes are all available on your podcast apps or our YouTube page, as well.
