In this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, the three Dungeon Masters sit down and discuss what is arguably the most infamous class in Dungeons & Dragons: Rogues. While tearing into the Player's Handbook to dissect the base class features and three Roguish Archetypes, the panel of DM's come at the class from very different perspectives, often butting heads and trying to come to terms with the others' points of view.
SUMMARY: The sneakiest of sneaks, Rogues offer a few unique experiences and mechanics to 5e, and the panel of Dungeon Masters spotlight Arcane Tricksters, Thieves, and Assassins to discuss some of the options that the class presents. Terry tries to keep this episode on track while Dan and Adam square off over mechanics and roleplaying opportunities, but things get out of hand more than once as passions flare up about this unique class and how players can use it to their advantage.

It's time to embrace the villainous nature of the parties' nemesis in this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, as the panel of Dungeon Masters look into what makes a memorable Big, Bad, Evil Guy. With a strong emphasis on "The Root of the Thing" and villain psychology, each of the DM's discusses their own techniques for making bad guys truly bad.
SUMMARY: What are the villain stereotypes to be avoided? What makes a villain memorable? What are some "Dos and Don'ts" for creating nemeses? When should you reveal your BBEG and his or her motivations? Which of the Dungeon Masters is a fool for not liking Batman? All of these questions and more will be answered in this episode!

The panel of Dungeon Masters looks at the Lower Planes and how to use them and their evil denizens in homebrew campaigns. With a brief tour through the Blood War, a discussion on evil deeds, and a conversation about the River Styx, this episode is crammed full of everything you need to know about Fiends!
SUMMARY: Devils, Demons, Yugoloths, and more possess the three DM's this week, as Dan and Terry disagree about how attractive a fiend should be and Adam struggles with pronunciations. Sibriexes, Merrenoloths, Succubi, and more get the spotlight as the Dungeon Masters fight and sabotage each other, trying to find the best way to use these Fiends!

This week, the panel of Dungeon Masters get a sugar high and talk about the best hunters among dragonkind: White Dragons. These arctic menaces are ferocious, xenophobic monsters that use their environment to their benefit, so why are they the least-loved chromatic dragons in Dungeons & Dragons? In this episode, the DM's give these tundra tyrants the respect they deserve.
SUMMARY: From frozen lakes to icy caverns, the panel of DM's traverse the frigid wastes of the north to bring you the mechanics, lore, and strategies of these vicious despots. Can you bribe one? Who are their potential allies? Are they warm-blooded? Find these answers and more in this episode, as all three DM's devour cake, talk tactics and lairs, and debate interesting ways to use White Dragons as set piece encounters and campaign bad guys!

The panel of Dungeon Masters tackles campaign inspiration this week. Whether you want to homebrew your campaign, beef up a module, or simple add a new flavour to your game, there are a number of ways to steal ideas for your Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. This even applies to players!
SUMMARY: The DM's sit down together to look at where they get inspiration for their games and when to use different techniques to keep things interesting. From plot points to monster abilities, from sentient items to player classes, and from encounter building to NPC's, the topics cover stealing, homebrewing, reskinning, reflavouring, and adapting. Bonus tangents include Mephits, Australia, and Tetanus.

In this episode of It's A Mimic! the panel of Dungeon Masters covers not one, but THREE monsters that team up to make on nasty mob: the Goblinoids! What are Bugbears afraid of? Where should Hobgoblins stand in the formation? Are goblins really that stupid? The DM's break down personality quirks, tactics, and Goblinoids at high-level play! And be sure to stay tuned after the credits for a bonus round: How to handle a goblin horde!
SUMMARY: This episode focuses on everyone's favourite punching bag: Goblinoids. From Goblin traps, to Bugbear gods, to mounts and allies, the panel of DM's discuss all sides of Goblinoids life. How does a horde come together? What happens when Goblins get too serious? And who can pronounce those damned names of the goblin gods? It's an episode of chaos as each Dungeon Master channels his inner Goblin and tries to derail the others.
