Table Talk - A D&D Podcast ·

2024/02/23

Now that you’ve presumably listened to our episodes on how to build a character, join us as we take it a step further with multiclassing! We discuss the pros and cons of taking levels in different classes at the same time, several different insane combinations, and what tends to work the best and what works the worst. This especially includes Robert’s personal beef with Sorcerer/Warlock multi-classing, broken in many ways. In response of course, Maddi builds her PC Sparrow into that very

2024/02/16

In honor of a belated love day, Robert and Maddi tackle two things: an incredible and in depth D&D feedback quiz by Justice Ramin Arman linked here, and in depth and intimate looks at character relationships. How do you flirt at the table and not make it weird? How do the villains you make reflect the party they're fighting with? What NPC’s do your player’s connect to and why? Or maybe you just want to listen to Maddi go into excruciating detail about character foils and over analyze every

Table Talk - A D&D Podcast ·

2024/01/12

2023/12/01

From scratch or from Wal-mart? As the most recent host for our friends-giving, we can confirm it is a delicate balance. How far can you go when making your own make-believe world? Does every twig have a backstory? Do the ants have social-security numbers? Or are you buying a 200 page source book and stretching that as far as it can go? Join us as we talk making stat blocks, the basis for every great campaign, theft, and how sometimes you just have to make. shit. up.

Is it okay to lie about dice rolls? And what does it mean to be a good player even if you’re playing an evil character? Heavy topics for sure, so
