E121 – Dungeon Mastery - Previously, On Horde-ers

Tuesday May 18, 2021

Tuesday May 18, 2021

The It's A Mimic! podcast awaits the return of the friends abroad, as we finish up the conversation on Mob Mentalities (for now).  Starting off with a retrospective, we look back at the last 21 weeks of episodes, before touching briefly on six more mob-type creatures that have too little variety and lore to warrant their own spotlights.  These are Blights, Mephits, Modrons, Myconids, Vegepygmies, and Fey creatures in general.  Then, Dan and Adam wrap up with general tips about running mob creatures that have unique functions, before finally setting aside these armies of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.

 

Dan's MVPs:
Orc Hand of Yurtrus
Barghest
Kobold Inventor
Leucrotta
Frost Giant Zombie
Skeletal Swarm
Lizardfolk Render
Yuan-ti Anathema
Wereboar
Sahuagin Baron

E120 - Mob Mentalities - Aquatic Mobs: Gills Gone Wild

Tuesday May 11, 2021

Tuesday May 11, 2021

This week's episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast is the final Mob Mentality episode for a good long time, and so things get a little confusing, a little evil, and a little insane!  Dan and Adam sit in the warmth of their own Guild Hall, and discuss the mysterious (and not in the good way) Merfolk, the insidious Merrow, and the outright bizarre and upsettingly powerful Kuo-toa!  But there are too many monsters for just these two hosts to take on, so they've reached out to their own mob of Dungeon Masters who are littered throughout 5e's various locales, digging up details from every corner of the multiverse!

 

This episode covers the Merfolk, Merfolk Salvager, Merrow, Merrow Shallowpriest, Kuo-toa, Kuo-ta Whip, Kuo-toa Monitor, and Kuo-toa Archpriest.

 

The hosts featured are Brad, Dave, Jeff, Kyle, Megan, Pepperina, Terry.

E119 - Mob Mentalities - Sahuagin Armies: Other Odder Water Fodder

Tuesday May 04, 2021

Tuesday May 04, 2021

This week's episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast rounds out the discussion about Sahuagin, and where to find clues about their culture and tactics in the Dungeons and Dragons source material, especially due to the lore being so scarce!  Dan and Adam sit in the warmth of their own Guild Hall, and discuss Tritons, the Sahuagin hierarchy, and what to do when your ship deck gets stained!  But there are too many monsters for just these two hosts to take on, so they've reached out to their own mob of Dungeon Masters who are littered throughout 5e's various locales, digging up details from every corner of the multiverse!

 

This episode covers the Sahuagin Deep Diver, Sahuagin Wave Shaper, Sahuagin High Priestess, Sahuagin Blademaster, Sahuagin Baron, and both the Triton Shorestalker and the Triton Master of Waves.

 

The hosts featured are Brad, Dave, James, Megan, Nic, Terry, Travis.

Tuesday Apr 27, 2021

Tuesday Apr 27, 2021

This week's episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast kicks off the discussion about the first underwater mob that we're covering from D&D 5e, and that's the annoying to pronounce Sahuagin!  Dan and Adam sit in the warmth of their own Guild Hall, and discuss how they had to find info about the Sahuagin in 5e, as well as the additional dangers that make these creatures and their allies so deadly!  But there are too many monsters for just these two hosts to take on, so they've reached out to their own mob of Dungeon Masters who are littered throughout 5e's various locales, digging up details from every corner of the multiverse!

 

This episode covers the Sahuagin, Sahuagin Coral Smasher, Sahuagin Priestess, Sahuagin Champion, Sahuagin Hatchling Swarm, Sahuagin Warlock of Uk'otoa, and all four sharks (Reef Shark, Hunter Shark, Giant Shark, and Shell Shark).

E117 – Dungeon Mastery - Aquatic Adventures: Swimming in Extra Rules

Tuesday Apr 20, 2021

Tuesday Apr 20, 2021

As we prepare to look at Sahuagin and other water-based monsters, we stop and take a week to dive into the depths of the aquatic rules in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.  The panel of Dungeon Masters compile all the rules from the many different source books to try and get a clearer vision of how water affects the game we love.  Does it all make sense?  Is it comprehensive enough?  Is it too specific and pedantic?  In this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, the guys call in to the guildhouse and go over the nitty gritties of movement, visibility, pressure, temperature, weapons, spellcasting, ships and their crews, and a whole lot more in the wet and wild world of aquatic campaigns!

 

The hosts featured are Adam, Dan, and Terry.

Original April Fools breakdown:

 

It is with great sadness that we bid Adam farewell in this special episode.  Due to alternate personal commitments, he has had to step down from the It's A Mimic! podcast and will be exploring other opportunities.  We wish him the very best in all future endeavours, and will miss him on the podcast.  He addresses it further within this episode, but please stay tuned for future announcements.

M015 - Mailbag of Holding - Meet the DM's REDUX (200th Release)

Monday Mar 29, 2021

Monday Mar 29, 2021

It's been a wild ride since this podcast launched, and the It's A Mimic! cast has grown in unexpected and amazing ways!  In a recent discussion, Dan and Adam discovered that they don't even really remember recording the first "Meet the DM's" episodes, and thought it would be fun to revisit the concept with all the additional voices... in a more limited capacity, of course.

 

So, the panel of twelve Dungeon Masters sit down with a random table of questions and give a brief breakdown of their own personal likes and dislikes in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition!  Thanks to all the friends and listeners for working with us during this Covid isolation, and we're excited to use the opportunity to make the panel of DM's more robust!
