The race is OVER! Thank you to everyone that donated to this wonderful organization. But the fundraising doesn't end at the race, you can donate all year long at: https://fdlt.memberclicks.net/donor-form#/ This week wraps up the collection of conversations we got at the Jensen Dental (https://jensendental.com/) booth at the FDLA Symposium and Expo (https://www.fdla.net/). Thank you Jensen Dental (https://jensendental.com/) for hosting us at this wonderful event. First we talk to Leah Gold, an assistant turned dental technician. Leah got into assisting while in Ohio and during the pandemic, she moves down to Florida and starts working in a in-office lab for a prosthodontist. Basically having to teach herself most of the skills, she was soon setting teeth, using exocad, and doing custom shades with MIYO (https://miyoworld.com/). Then as a BONUS, not at the FDLA, we bring back on Jade Connors, denturist out of Canada. We just talked to Jade last March at IDS and she was a day away from finding out if she won the CANDULOR KunstZahnWerk Award (https://www.candulor.com/en-us/kzw-winners-2025). Well, it turns out she did win and she comes on to talk about the process, the pains, and the wins, all while learning a new skill.

"The storm is both battleground and teacher. In the high storm's fury, we discovered not merely survival checks or combat mechanics, but the weight of choice. Humor became a shield, laughter our shardplate, as the Shardblade in hand revealed itself to be more than a weapon. Against the chasm fiend's relentless rhythm, the bond between friends became the only path to victory. The storm needs a guide. Ash Ely is that guide. Some stories wait for the storm to pass. Others demand a guide who will lead you into its very heart. A Game Master is more than a storyteller — they are a Shardbearer of narrative, a wielder of dice and destiny. Ash Ely is such a guide. On StartPlaying.Games, Ash shapes campaigns where camaraderie becomes steel and laughter binds tighter than plate. Their table is not just a game; it is a high storm of story, where each choice carries weight, and each player becomes part of something greater. If you seek tabletop RPG adventures, if you wish to test your courage in battle against chasm fiends, or to weave tales of character development, teamwork, and role-playing, then step into Ash's storm. The path begins here: StartPlaying.Games — Ash Ely "I saw how tactical decisions, combat strategies, and even failed dice rolls wrote a story more enduring than steel. This was no simple role-playing game; it was a tale of character development, teamwork, and storytelling woven into the very stormlight itself." — From the journals of a forgotten scout, on the eve of battle Shownotes This second half of the Stormlight Archive RPG actual play begins with grounding moments: life updates, the struggles of moving, and even the grudges of pets that mirror the stubbornness of men. These personal stories remind us that whether in Dungeons and Dragons, tabletop gaming, or life itself, the storms we weather shape who we become. The session then surges into epic tension. The looming high storm, the enigma of Shardblade bonding, and the terror of a chasm fiend boss fight create a crucible for both game mechanics and storytelling. Every player choice feels sharp, every dice roll a heartbeat. Humor, often chaotic, interlaces with danger, proving that friendship and camaraderie in role-playing games can hold fast even in the fiercest winds. The players grapple with combat strategies, team dynamics, and the consequences of their actions. Critical hits, failed rolls, and unexpected outcomes shift the battle's tide, while persuasion and leadership test not only the characters but the trust among players. Through it all, the narrative storytelling of the Stormlight Archive RPG shines — a reminder that fantasy adventures are not just about survival, but about the truths revealed when we choose together. Key Takeaways Life mirrors the game: Moving, pets, and family stories parallel the challenges of tabletop RPGs and character development. Humor in the storm: Laughter and camaraderie in role-playing games lighten even the heaviest encounters. Shardblades as destiny: Shardblade bonding and mechanics test both characters and players, demanding patience and commitment. The chasm fiend fight as crucible: A true boss monster encounter forces combat strategies and tactical decisions. Choice as stormlight: Every dice roll, persuasion attempt, and player choice illuminates the narrative. Friendship as armor: Teamwork and communication in RPGs are more powerful than steel. The rhythm of mechanics: Fast and slow turns, survival checks, and RPG game mechanics create tension and triumph. Story as aftermath: Critical hits, moral dilemmas, and unexpected alliances linger beyond the session, becoming part of the shared fantasy adventure. "A story is not complete until it is shared. Storms are faced together, and victories mean little without companions to witness them. If this tale has moved you — if the laughter, the choices, and the clash of Shardblade against chasm fiend struck true — then carry it outward. Tell a friend. Invite them to listen. Let them stand with us in the storm, dice in hand, part of the fellowship that makes role-playing more than a game. For in unity lies strength, and in shared story lies immortality."

Lo, from the stagnant mire there arose a croak most dreadful, heralding the advent of creatures born of chaos and slime. In this remastered Spooktober hour from 2023, we unmask the Slaad—horrible monsters of Dungeons & Dragons whose laughter curdles into terror. Hark, dear listeners, and let the tolling of the midnight bell stir your marrow— for once more the veil thins, and once more the chill breath of Spooktober draws near. The year wanes, the light falters, and in the gathering gloom we bid you prepare: the 2025 season of RPGBOT.Podcast's Spooktober is nearly upon us. Expect not merely tales of monsters, but phantasms of horror and mirth entwined; expect not idle chatter, but whispers of Dungeons and Dragons and tabletop RPG horrors, woven with the laughter of the damned and the counsel of the grave. Steel your heart, sharpen your dice, and ready your soul for the chaos to come— for in the creeping hours of October, we shall descend together once more into that grotesque carnival of terror and delight… and the monsters shall be waiting. Show Notes In this mournful season of Spooktober, the RPGBOT.Podcast hosts descend into the abyss to reveal the Slaad, one of the most horrible monsters in tabletop RPGs. From the dim vaults of Dungeons and Dragons lore and the infernal margins of the Pathfinder RPG, these chaos beasts emerge—creatures neither wholly comic nor wholly terrifying, but abominations caught between laughter and despair. The discussion charts the evolution of the Slaad lore in Dungeons and Dragons, tracing their spawn from earlier editions through to the present, while casting their warped shadows upon Pathfinder 2e Slaad monster analysis. Their essence is chaotic neutral vs. chaotic evil monsters in RPGs, shifting masks of unpredictability, forever croaking of corruption and madness. These horror monsters serve not only as combatants, but as symbols: infestation, decay, and the slow erosion of body and spirit. To Dungeon Masters yearning for the macabre, the hosts provide counsel on roleplaying tips for using Slaad in campaigns—how to balance absurdity with terror, how to weave dread into encounters, how to stage the crawling metamorphoses of flesh that birth new horrors. This is no idle musing, but a true Spooktober monster deep dive podcast, a lantern held aloft in the darkness for all who dare run horror themed creatures for D&D adventures. RPGBOT.Podcast Season 2 Episode 1 – Variant Rules RPGBOT.Podcast Season 2 Episode 2 – The Move Toward Inclusion in Tabletop Gaming Key Takeaways The Slaad are chaos incarnate, their essence shifting between chaotic neutral vs. chaotic evil monsters in RPGs. Their mark is body-horror most grotesque: infestation, spawning, and vile metamorphosis. They are the perfect choice for Spooktober monster deep dive podcasts and horror themed creatures for D&D adventures. The hosts trace Slaad lore in Dungeons and Dragons and expand into Pathfinder RPG differences. Practical roleplaying tips for using Slaad in campaigns show how to balance comedy with grotesque menace. The episode offers guidance on how to run Slaad encounters in TTRPGs, ensuring dread without monotony. These creatures become living metaphors: corruption, chaos, and despair, bound in the grotesque tapestry of fantasy lore. When placed in a campaign, the Slaad engrave themselves in memory, a croaking echo in the dark—an eternal reminder that in roleplaying games, the most horrible monsters linger long after dice have stilled. Now Go forth, dear traveler, and whisper in trembling tones to those you hold dear: Spooktober is coming. Let not your comrades remain unprepared for the horrors and laughter that await.Bid them gather round the flickering lantern, bid them tune their ears to the RPGBOT.Podcast, that together you may descend into the abyss of dice and dread. For what is terror, if not shared? What is laughter in the dark, if not echoed by many? Spread the word, spread the warning...tell your friends, your table, your fellowship: the season of fright returns, and none shall escape its shadow. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Zach returns after shattering his ceiling: $34K in prop-firm payouts in one month. He explains the flip that did it—moving from high-R/low-win models to negative risk-reward scalping on NQ (5–10 points, limit entries, fewer trades). We dig into how prop rules shape strategy, why high win-rate models fit prop better, platform preferences (Tradeovate vs Project X), Topstep for quick payouts vs bigger buffers on Tradeify, and the real cadence of payouts (they arrive in waves). Zack also shares his counter-intuitive risk curve (start aggressive to build buffer, then size down), how teaching his course sharpened his edge, and practical budgeting so hot streaks become income—not lifestyle creep.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 55% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off

In this wandering dissection of the 2025 Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set, the hosts circle through memory and mechanics, weighing cardboard against imagination, and finding, amid the tokens and rules, not a doorway into wonder but the echo of all the starter sets that came before, fuller, deeper, better. Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands (affiliate link) Randall has written Melancon, a novella that lingers like the dusk on a Southern porch, where memory and shadow wrestle in the same long sentence; you will read it in print upon Amazon, or hear it carried on Ash's voice in the audiobook, the cadence of the tale winding as though the story itself remembered you before you found it. Read Melancon: A Grimoire Tale (affiliate link) Show Notes There is a starter set, and though the box is new, the echoes within are old, older than dice or leveling mechanics, older than the crafting of character sheets and the fragile permanence of tokens, and it bears the mark of Wizards of the Coast as if that brand were a lineage stretching back to the dim histories of Dungeons and Dragons, and we, who have seen the 2024 starter set, the 2014, the 1983, and all the ones before that, sit and hold this one in our hands and feel the weight of it, and the hollowness, too. The hosts circle round like storytellers on a porch, voices interwoven, sometimes bantering, sometimes harsh in judgment, and they speak of game mechanics, of adventure design, of character creation, and of the difference between a board game's bones and the living marrow of a tabletop RPG. And as they speak, one sees the ghost of better boxes, more cohesive adventure modules, more patient stories. There is praise for the components—tokens and maps, the paper like a relic of promises—but criticism too, for what is an adventure review if not an elegy for what might have been? The adventure structure is straight as an arrow and as empty, the plot like a house without rooms, and though it may shelter the new player, it does not nourish them. And so the tale winds: the physical versus digital experience, the cruel disappointment of shallow design, the lingering hope that future offerings may redeem this one. It is the story of a set that wanted to be Dungeons & Dragons, but settled, instead, for something less. Key Takeaways The 2025 D&D Starter Set carries the name but not the soul of its predecessors; the history of D&D starter sets looms over it like a shadow. Its adventure modules are linear and lack the depth that breathes life into role-playing games. Though the physical components—tokens, sheets, crafted bits of board-game echo—serve their purpose, they cannot mask the thinness of the adventure design. Character creation and leveling mechanics receive mention but not reverence; they are steps without dance. The box is priced like a promise (“a $50 product”) but delivers less than it should. The hosts weigh the player experience and declare that better paths exist for those beginning their journey into Dungeons and Dragons. In comparing starter sets, the verdict is clear: this one feels less like a gateway into wonder and more like a door that does not open all the way. And so if you have followed us through this wandering road of tokens and rules and promises unkept, then carry it further: share this podcast with the ones at your own table, let them hear our voices as you have, and rate and review us upon the great digital ledgers—Apple Podcasts, Spotify, all the places where stories are measured not in pages but in stars and numbers—so that others, lost or searching, may stumble into this circle of talk and stay a while.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Serpentine Visions and Restless Sleep After collecting their thoughts and taking shelter for the night, the party experiences a disturbing development. During the deep hours before dawn, Marshal and Morgan are afflicted by strange, unsettling dreams that leave them with restless, broken sleep. Both of their unique nightmares end with the same terrifying image: a snake-like figure with piercing yellow eyes. The next morning finds them gathered around a table in Mona's saloon, sharing their troubling visions and debating their next course of action. The dreams seem connected to their investigation, suggesting supernatural forces are taking an active interest in their activities. They must decide whether to seek out the mysterious "table witch" mentioned by the gravedigger, investigate the Dragonborn tribe that Floyd had been studying, or pursue another lead entirely. From Floyd's journals, Morgan and Consuela learn more about his relationship with the local Dragonborn tribe and his growing concerns about Laurentine's mining operations. The scientist's notes reveal his frustration with the Dragonborn's initial coldness and distrust, their treatment by eastern settlers, and his gradual friendship with a tribal member named Krish. That's the end of our Playa Rose Summer Release. Want to hear the rest?

【文稿：】KDJ有一种技术形态叫做“超买”和“超卖”，这也是最能代表KDJ指标的形态。先说一下结论：“超买”是卖出信号，“超卖”是买入信号，先记住这个结论，然后再认识一下具体的形态。股票k线图下方都会有对应的指标图，我们可以把指标切换成KDJ指标，如文稿中的图1所示的那样。当KDJ指标出现“超买”形态时，股价短期会有下跌的概率，“超买”形态也是一种卖出信号。这里我们主要参考的是KDJ指标中的D线，也就是波动最小的那条线。D线一直在0-100之间波动，当D线涨到80以上的时候，就处于“超买”的状态，此时为短线卖出信号。有人可能不太理解“超买”的概念，这里我举例说明一下：指标的数据都采集自股价，所以长期来看、股价和指标的走势都是一致的，当股价持续上涨的时候，就说明买入股票的人比较多，或者说买入股票的数量多会更准确一些。而超买的意思就是买的数量太多、超出了一个极值，股价短期存在反转的可能。由于之前是上涨，所以当出现反转的时候股价就有可能出现下跌，这也就是为什么“超买”代表卖出信号的原因。股价自身的涨跌没办法表现出这种信号，但借助指标却可以实现这种判断。刚才是用超买举的例子，反过来理解超卖也是一样的：当KDJ指标中的D线下跌到20以下，此时股价就处在“超卖”的状态，股价短期有反弹的概率，此时为买入信号。大家可以看一下文稿中的图片，图中画圈的部分正好是超卖的区域，此时D线一直处在20以下的位置，而股价也处在相对低位，随后几天股价开始反弹上涨。判断超买超卖的方法非常简单，但有人也会产生一些疑问：比如D线在20以下为超卖阶段，这是一种买入信号，但是20以下还有一定的空间，比如18、15、12、9、7等都处在20以下，也都处于超卖的阶段，那么我们应该具体在什么位置判断买入呢？答案是你随便....有这种疑问显然是又忘了风险教育篇的内容...对于股价的判断没有绝对的方法，即便KDJ出现了超卖的现象，也不代表股价一定会上涨，更别说在超卖的空间里再去判断更合适的位置了....这种想法本身就不靠谱，概率的天平不会倾向于你的。我只能说D线在20以下，越低越好，越低代表股价超卖越严重，短期出现反弹的概率会更高。至于在20以下具体能走多低就不是你能判断的了，或者说这种想法本身就很可笑。你参考指标就是为了用它来判断股价的变化，结果你现在却想判断指标自身的变化...父母的长相决定了孩子的长相，但有人想单独预判孩子今后的长相，仔细想想是不是很可笑呢？刚才是用超卖举的例子：超买只需要反过来理解即可：D线在80以上，越高越好，股价短期出现下跌的概率就会更高，至于D线具体能走多高？你去问D线..反正我给不出答案，我只知道肯定不超过100....（节目已在江苏版权局登记，翻版必究！）

Den første tiden ville ikke Inger Lise gå ut av døra. “Jeg følte det sto skrevet i panna mi at her er det en mor som ikke klarte å ta vare på barnet sitt.” Sønnen hennes, Andreas, tok sitt eget liv for 13. januar 2024. Han etterlot seg et brev på 21 sider, hvor han ba om unnskyldning for det han hadde bestemt seg for å gjøre, og hvor han fortalte at han gjorde det i håp om å finne fred.  For Inger Lise, var dette både ventet og uventet på samme tid. Hun hadde hatt en dårlig magefølelse i en periode, og hadde gjort alt hun kunne for å beskytte sønnen fra å gjøre dette. Fra å ha båret han i magen og hørt hans første hjerteslag, bærer hun han nå i hjertet, og han er en del av hennes hjerteslag. Brevet fra Andreas er det kjæreste hun har etter han. Han avsluttet brevet med disse ordene:  “Jeg kunne ikke bedt om en bedre mamma. Jeg elsker deg over alt på jord”.  727 mennesker tok sitt eget liv i 2024.  

The anime drought officially ends on this month's What A Cartoon podcast with a VERY long episode about that '90s VHS fantasy/comedy classic, Slayers! While this charming series tragically never found a home on American television, it still thrived in its own bubble; and if you were part of the anime subculture around Y2K, it's likely you were briefly involved in Slayers-mania. It's a series worthy of exploration, and to fully plumb the depths of this animated D&D session, we've recruited Slayers fan and Wife of the Show Nina Matsumoto to help out—and she's brought some original research never-before-heard by an English-speaking audience. So listen in as we transport you back to an era when Pocky was still an incredibly rare and valuable commodity.

The RPGBOT crew brave technical glitches, angry chasm fiends, and their own questionable tactics in the Stormlight Archive TTRPG—somehow surviving long enough to bond a Shardblade and argue about the rules. Want to roll dice with Ash Ely? You can! Ash is running games right now on StartPlaying.games — sign up to join his tables and bring your own chaos straight to the adventure. Show Notes What happens when a group of seasoned RPG players and podcasters try to explore the Stormlight Archive TTRPG gameplay while also fighting their greatest nemesis: technical difficulties? Chaos, laughter, and some surprisingly good strategy. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew dive into Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere RPG session and tackle everything from collaborative character creation to survival strategies in tabletop campaigns. Along the way, they explore the chasms of Roshar, narrowly avoid becoming lunch for a chasm fiend, and stumble their way into a Shardblade bonding that changes the party forever. This is not just a deep dive into fantasy adventure game mechanics and Cosmere lore, it's also a reminder that sometimes the biggest boss fight is your own internet connection. Expect plenty of table banter, a mix of strategy and combat in Stormlight Archive RPG, and the occasional rules lawyer moment when someone tries to figure out exactly how healing and recovery in RPG combat works mid-fight. If you've ever wanted to know how storytelling through Cosmere role-playing feels when the stakes are survival, or if you just enjoy hearing gamers yell “We did it!” after almost dying in the chasms, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways Technical difficulties are the real BBEG – even the most prepared podcasters get crit-hit by audio gremlins. Collaborative character creation isn't just fun; it sets up all the chaos and heroics that follow. Lore-driven gameplay in fantasy RPGs adds immersion and weight—knowing the world changes how you play it. Chasm fiend encounters in tabletop RPGs are terrifying, hilarious, and an excellent way to test teamwork. Combat in Stormlight Archive RPG is as much about strategy as it is about rolling well. Survival strategies in tabletop campaigns matter—sometimes “run away” is the best spell. Healing and recovery in RPG combat are clutch; without them, the only thing you're bonding with is the afterlife. Storytelling through Cosmere role-playing proves why Sanderson's worlds are so good for the tabletop. Shardblade bonding in role-playing games changes character dynamics—and makes players feel way cooler than they deserve. The unpredictability of RPGs keeps every session fresh, funny, and full of unexpected discoveries. Like what you heard?

Lolth's Not Your Mom, But She's Definitely Disappointed in You Follow Ash Ely on social media for more tabletop mischief, hot takes, and behind-the-scenes RPGBOT energy. Want to do more than just listen? You can play in his games directly—Ash runs tables on StartPlaying.games where you can sign up, roll dice, and probably regret trusting that one suspicious NPC he voices just a little too well. Show Notes In this Spooktober installment, Tyler, Randall, and Ash descend into the Underdark to talk about everyone's favorite spider-themed frenemies: the drow. But don't expect a simple “they're all evil” hot take—this conversation is about how to use drow effectively and responsibly at the table. Highlights include: History lesson (with bite): From Scottish folklore to Gygax's caverns, the word “drow” has been through some things. The big problem: Why “evil by biology” is lazy design and a headache for modern tables. The fix: Treat drow as cultures, factions, and ideologies rather than one-note villains. Tactics and terror: How to make them scary with ambushes, traps, lair design, and coordinated squads instead of tired stereotypes. DM toolbox: Drow of the Underdark (3.5e) for rich lore and mechanical bits. Keith Ammann's The Monsters Know What They're Doing and MOAR for tactical framing. The RPGBOT Masterclass on How to Defend Your Lair for designing unforgettable encounters. Adventure seeds: Trade cartels, perpetual-darkness devices, and drow coup-plots that give your players moral choices beyond “roll initiative.” RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 Other Stuff Drow of the Underdark (3.5) (affiliate link) MOAR The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) Key Takeaways Scary ≠ racist: Make drow terrifying by leaning on culture, politics, and goals—not skin color or species. Design like defenders: Build lairs that use elevation, darkness, traps, and chokepoints to punish rash adventurers. Run them as a team: Drow squads should coordinate roles like special ops, not fight as isolated stat blocks. Texture matters: Factionalize your drow societies—zealots, moderates, and opportunists—to create story oxygen. Bring the right books: Ammann's tactics, 3.5e's Drow of the Underdark, and RPGBOT's own lair-design masterclass turn “complicated” into “compelling.” If you enjoyed this dive into the Underdark, share the RPGBOT.Podcast with your gaming group. Tell your GM. Tell your rogue. Heck, tell that one friend who always wants to play a brooding elf in black leather.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Sharing Secrets and Digging Graves The party reunites in Liberty Bluff to compare their discoveries and plan their next moves. Over drinks at a traveling medicine show, they piece together the growing conspiracy: the bizarre blight affecting the land, the mysterious musical mercenaries, Laurentine's machinations, Floyd Davis's murder, and the identity of the mysterious "Her" pursuing Floyd's spirit. Emboldened by their alleged medicine (which may have been a bit stronger than advertised), the group decides that answers lie with Floyd's body itself. Under cover of darkness, they sneak into the cemetery to exhume his grave, hoping Morgan's necromantic abilities can extract the truth directly from the deceased. However, their midnight grave-robbing reveals an shocking discovery: instead of Floyd's corpse, they find only a strange scarecrow stuffed with straw. Investigating the coffin further, they discover a large desert lizard scale - oddly oversized and out of place. Their investigation is interrupted by the arrival of a surly, grizzled gravedigger and caretaker who alludes to these strange occurrences of missing bodies being the work of a "table witch." When Marshal asks for clarification about which table - dining room? picnic? - the gravedigger's cryptic warnings only deepen the mystery.

Hydra fights, Dark Sun dilemmas, Unearthed Arcana chaos—what could go wrong? Want more Unearthed Arcana deep dives? The RPGBOT.Podcast has you covered. You can find our backlog of episodes on every major podcast platform, where we break down the latest D&D playtest material and show you how to wrangle it into your campaigns without summoning your own TPK. Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew saddles up for an apocalyptic romp through Pathfinder Hydra encounters, the gritty survival world of Dark Sun, and the latest Unearthed Arcana subclasses. We start by revisiting a Hydra battle that demanded every ounce of tactical brilliance (and a fair bit of screaming). From there, we dive deep into Dark Sun—where scarcity, moral dilemmas, and Mad Max vibes dominate play. The hosts then dig into new subclass content: the eco-warrior Circle of Preservation Druid, the crowd-pleasing Gladiator Fighter, the life-siphoning Defiled Sorcerer, and the fear-driven Sorcerer King. Along the way, we tackle the eternal question of whether Strength is viable for Intimidation, explore multi-classing optimization, and share DM tips for balancing player knowledge with campaign secrets. It's a mix of theorycrafting, subclass reviews, and a healthy dose of comedy—because what's Dark Sun without a laugh before the water runs out? Key Takeaways Hydra encounters in Pathfinder = epic, sweaty, and strategy-heavy. Dark Sun campaigns bring unique challenges: scarcity, moral dilemmas, and Mad Max vibes. Circle of Preservation Druids = conservationists with a vengeance. Gladiator Fighters use charisma as a weapon (and crowd engagement as a combat mechanic). Defiled Sorcerers introduce life-draining spellcasting mechanics. Sorcerer King subclasses lean into control, fear, and psionics. Strength for intimidation is officially fun again. Multi-classing optimization remains a go-to for tactical players. Campaign success = good mechanics + solid DM/Player communication. Subclass excitement shows Unearthed Arcana is moving in a promising direction. If you enjoyed this episode, like and subscribe to the RPGBOT.Podcast on your favorite platform. Share it with your tabletop roleplaying friends—because nothing says friendship like convincing them to fight a Hydra in Dark Sun with only a rusty dagger and a half-baked subclass build.

So Your Players Think They're Safe? Release the Aboleth! Want more Dungeons & Dragons monster tips, horror encounter design, and campaign advice? Visit RPGBOT.net—where real humans craft real tools for roleplayers and dungeon masters. Show Notes The RPGBOT.Podcast crew takes a deep dive into one of the most disturbing D&D monsters ever created: the Aboleth. These ancient aquatic horrors are more than slimy tentacle-fish—they're campaign-defining villains that bring cosmic horror, body horror, and psychological dread to any tabletop RPG. The hosts break down: How to use Aboleths in D&D campaigns as long-term masterminds instead of one-off encounters. Why their perfect memory makes Aboleths terrifying villains who can twist your world's history. The nastiest Aboleth lair actions and encounter design tactics to challenge even high-level adventurers. How to run underwater adventures in 5e without losing tension or immersion. Tips for roleplaying Aboleth thralls and the body-horror impact of their mucus-breathing curse. How to weave Aboleths into cosmic horror storylines that rival Lovecraftian nightmares. This episode blends mechanics, lore, and villain design into a perfect toolkit for dungeon masters who want to unleash aquatic monster encounters their players will never forget. Key Takeaways Aboleths are best used as campaign villains, not just combat encounters. Their lore and psychic abilities can reshape a world. Body horror is central—their mucus curse forces players to roleplay slime-breathing, making encounters unforgettable. Aboleths shine in cosmic horror campaigns where memory, paranoia, and legacy matter. Their lair actions and psychic domination make them one of the most dangerous aquatic monsters in TTRPGs. Dungeon masters can elevate horror games by pairing Aboleths with underwater settings, forgotten history, and long-term psychological threats. Ready to terrify your players?

Turning Your TTRPG Into a Chemically Enhanced Nightmare (for the Players, Not the GM) Missed an episode? Accidentally ingested a memory-erasing toxin? No worries! Archived episodes of the RPGBOT.Podcast are now available on YouTube. Binge the banter, savor the strategy, and relive every rules argument—now with video thumbnails. Show Notes Welcome to the episode where the RPGBOT.Podcast crew rolls a Constitution save against bad design decisions and fails—deliberately. In this delightfully dangerous deep dive, Tyler Kamstra, Randall James, and Ash Ely explore one of the most tragically underused tools in the Game Master's arsenal: poison. Not the “ha ha, you take 1d4 damage and feel kind of bad” kind—no, we're talking the really nasty stuff. The stuff that makes players sweat, forget what color their dice are, and suddenly develop a deep appreciation for the paladin's aura of protection. Join the crew as they: Dissect why poison is so often mechanically boring despite being conceptually metal. Share hilarious war stories about poorly-timed venomous traps and failed fortitude saves. Explore how different TTRPG systems handle poison: from D&D's "mild inconvenience" to Pathfinder's "goodbye, pancreas." Offer deliciously evil advice for GMs looking to flavor their campaigns with a little more toxic attitude. Brainstorm better mechanics for poisons that do more than just slap a couple HP off your barbarian and call it a day. Create fictional poisons on the fly—some of which should never be spoken of again. Looking at you, Ash's Spiteful Slime Surprise. Debate whether ingesting a cursed Hot Pocket counts as a magical poison effect (spoiler: it does, and it bypasses resistance). Key Takeaways: D&D poison mechanics are weaker than a kobold's slap fight. It's time for GMs to spice things up with custom creations. Pathfinder 2e offers a better structure, but still leaves room for homebrewed horrors. Poisons should be scary, situational, and strategic. They can shape encounters, plotlines, and even the economy. "Save or suck" poison effects? Lazy. Instead, give toxins progressive effects or interactable consequences. Players love meaningful danger. If your rogue wants to coat their dagger in acid-laced possum venom, let them—then make them regret it just a little. GM tip: If the party stops eating anything in-game, congratulations. You've weaponized cuisine. Bonus insight: Nothing ruins a tavern meal like realizing the stew is a dexterity check away from cardiac arrest. Call to Action: Feeling inspired to poison your friends in the most entertaining and legally safe way possible? Subscribe to the RPGBOT.Podcast wherever you listen, and check out our archives now on YouTube. Share the show, leave a review, and let us know your favorite toxin-laced TTRPG tales.
