Do the dragons of Dungeons and Dragons feel somewhat lackluster to you? Well, in this week’s episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters look to a plethora of other sources for inspiration. This includes one of the best third party sources for additional dragon shenanigans, as well as looking back to what previous editions of this beautiful game had to offer for our majestic winged lords of the skies. With the information from this episode, you can now restore some of that luster that was so lacking from those impressive scales.

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.

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!

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...

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.

It’s been almost three years since the It’s A Mimic! podcast has covered druids, but the seasons have changed and the stars have aligned, so the panel of Dungeon Masters has convened to discuss nature, death, dreams, and rot. The last druid episode was not particularly flattering for the class, but there have been quite a few new books for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition since that recording. So the DM’s are ready to sit down and go over the Circle of Dreams and Circle of Spores, as well as the inspirations that can be found in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, including potential treasured items, guiding aspects, and mentors.

Time to take a deep breath and exhale - It’s time for Dragonborn on the It’s A Mimic! podcast! This week, the panel of Dungeon Masters discuss the much-maligned and -beloved final race in the Player's Handbook for Dungeons and Dragons. Topics range from a societal breakdown to religious outlooks, and include the viability of breath attacks, the offerings from Strongholds & Followers, and the mind of Matt Mercer... all while Terry shows us just how much Uncle Terry has grown in the past three years of the show!

As the panel of Dungeon Masters peers through the mists and into the domains of dread, they keep an eye out for what ghostly jaunts might inspire them, and what seems just a little too edgy. This is an odd campaign setting that isn’t properly explained in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition until the latest book, Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, came out, and these DM’s revel in their love for all things terrifying, as they take a quick look at over two dozen little domains.
