Tuesday Oct 26, 2021
In this week’s episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters looks into the elements of character building when you have a Genie in your family tree. That’s right! It’s Genasi, D&D’s weird, chaotic, elemental playable race! So what flavours exist out there, what are they good for, and how do you roleplay them?

L005 - Legend Lore - Guildmasters‘ Guide to Ravnica
Friday Oct 01, 2021
Friday Oct 01, 2021
This episode of Legend Lore takes us out of the Forgotten Realms and into the first Magic: the Gathering setting: Ravnica. But is the book Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica worth the price tag? One of the Dungeon Masters comes in skeptical to start with, but with 10 guilds, a deep bestiary, and a fantastic layout, it’s no surprise when things keep looking better and better for Niv-Mizzet, Rakdos, and the other inhabitants within these pages.

E133 - Port-FOE-lios - Illithids: Picking Your Brain About Food
Tuesday Sep 28, 2021
Tuesday Sep 28, 2021
Are the gods truly gods? Who can throw a tarrasque? And when might it be appropriate to use a laugh track during combat? This episode of the It’s A Mimic! Podcast sees the panel of Dungeon Masters answer these questions and more, as they dig around in the lore and stats of Illithids, their allies, and their pets. Things get slimy and tentacly in Dungeons & Dragons this week, so prepare Mind Blank, watch out for space ships, and for the love of God, don’t walk where it’s squishy!

M017 - Mailbag of Holding - Being Dead‘s Like Being Stupid
Thursday Sep 23, 2021
Thursday Sep 23, 2021
Pet peeves, invisible stirges, Superman Returns, and seven-year-old Dave. There may be twenty questions asked, but there are too many answers for polite company. This mailbag episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast covers far more than Dungeons & Dragons. Too much, really. Dan sincerely apologizes for his cohosts' behaviour...

E139 - Class - Clerics: Communing to Work
Tuesday Sep 21, 2021
Tuesday Sep 21, 2021
It's a min-maxer’s dream as the It’s A Mimic! podcast goes for their fourth round at our resident divine spellslingers of Dungeons and Dragons: the Cleric. This time around the panel of Dungeon Masters look to serve and protect with the Order Domain, to build and create with the Forge domain, and to confuse and obfuscate with the Arcana Domain. So while Megan and Brad throw those references around and Dan forgets how to podcast - dust off your prayer smocks, load the incendiary rounds, and settle in for a little Law & Order.
