Episode 7: And Then It Eats You
45m · Published
Hey everyone, welcome to the (slightly belated) Episode 7. We split this one up into two eps for technical and content reasons, so 7.5 is coming out next week. This week, we're talking specifically about making NPCs for Meredith's Turtle Mountain campaign.
Episode 6: Moaning in Ogre (Monsters)
1h 8m · Published
Welcome to Episode 6 of Carpe DM. In this episode, we talk about the monsters that infest the various worlds of Dungeons and Dragons. How to read stat-blocks, choose monsters for encounters, and make monsters unique and memorable! Is a Zombie Ogre an ogre who's a zombie, or a zombie who's an ogre? We literally never find out.
Episode 5: Hero Fatigue (NPCs Part 2)
1h 0m · Published
Hey everyone, thanks for bearing with us through our technical difficulties. This week on Carpe DM we talk about NPCs as party members, a giant demon who explodes when you kill it, and we delve into some of the inhabitants of the mysterious Turtle Mountain.
Episode 4: Dramatis Personae (NPCs Part 1)
1h 4m · Published
This week, James Rouse Iniguez joins us to talk about the basics of sketching out a campaign's NPCs, or Non-Player Characters. We discuss making memorable NPCs, the Rule of Cool, and delve even more deeply into the Mystery of Turtle Mountain.
Episode 3: Into the Wilderness
1h 23m · Published
On today's episode, we look at different structures for adventures, and talk about methods of introducing adventures and villains to make them exciting to players. We're joined by our now-permanent co-host, Chris Hockabout and our guest, Colin Fahrion.
Episode 2: Flavors of Fantasy
51m · Published
In this episode, Meredith and Alexei dig into the fundamentals of setting up a campaign world. We talk about the various "underlying assumptions" that go into building a fantasy world, and how to communicate those to your players. What's the difference between an "epic" game and a "mythic" game? When should or shouldn't you "cross the streams?" And why are barbarians and swamps so intimately intertwined?
