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.  Meanwhile, in Liberty Bluff... While chaos unfolds at the homestead, Consuela and Morgan investigate the mysterious death of Floyd Davis in Liberty Bluff. Their search for his widow leads them to the sheriff's office, where they find Sheriff Scelop - a rotund, incompetent iguana-man - snoring face-down at his desk beside an empty whiskey bottle. After convincing the flustered sheriff they represent financial interests regarding Floyd, they're directed to the Davis-Bluff house with a request to tell the widow to stop "rabble rousing." The Victorian-style house with its curated native plant garden seems larger inside than out, unnaturally cool and dark despite the desert heat. They meet the surly but welcoming housemaid Miss Margery, who leads them to Dalia Blundell – an exotic, eerie figure who immediately sets Consuela on edge with vampire suspicions, while Morgan finds herself oddly enthralled. Realizing their interests align in seeking justice for Floyd, Dalia takes them to her late husband's study. In Floyd's study, they discover two of his three precious journals, plus a surveyor's chain and compass -but the third journal remains missing. As they search, Consuela experiments with a sample of arcanite, triggering a magical flash that causes her eyes to glow blue and grants her supernatural perception. In this enhanced state, Consuela witnesses the terrified specter of Floyd Davis emerging from the wall, desperately seeking Dalia before being dragged back into shadow by smoke-black arms with long claws, his final scream echoing her name.

[Original post: Should Strong Gods Bet On GDP?] 1: Comments About The Theory 2: Comments About Specific Communities 3: Other Comments Comments About The Theory Darwin writes: I think you may (*may*, I'm not sure) be vastly underestimating how many people are in some form of nontraditional tight-knit community. Notice that many of the communities you list are things you've directly personally encountered through your online interests or social circle. Most people have never heard of libertarian homesteaders or rationalist dating sites, perhaps you have also never heard of the things most other people belong to. For my part, I have been part of a foam combat ('boffer') organization since college. You may want to say 'that's not a community, that's just a hobby', but the people in this sport form a strong community with tight bonds outside the game itself. Not only do I go to practices twice a week, I have 2 D&D games and 1 board game night every week with mostly members of the community, members of the community are my friends that I go out to movies and dinners with, play video games with voice chat on Discord with, talk to online in Discord servers and web forums and group chats, go to parties with and gossip about with other community members. Aside from attending over a dozen weddings of community members (mostly to other community members), I've served as best man for 2 members and wedding officiant for 2 other members. The sport itself has houses, guilds, and fighting units, all with their own ethos, credos, goals, activities, and hierarchies; it has knighthoods and squireships, it has awards for arts and crafts and community service. The sport has regular camping events that end up looking like temporary compounds of hundreds to thousand+ members, lasting from a weekend to a week. We may not have a singular God or Invisible Hand we all worship, but we have strong community norms towards things like inclusion, creating positive experiences, some modernized gender-neutral version of chivalry, creating safe spaces, etc. If you didn't know me very very well, you might know that 'oh yeah, he does some kind of sword fighting thing on the weekends I think?', and not know there's a large and strong community there. I wonder how many other things are like this - I think 'oh yeah, they play softball on the weekends, oh yeah, they belong to a knitting circle, oh yeah, they go to a lot of concerts, oh yeah, they volunteer at some kind of community center', and have no idea that there's a strong close-knit community surrounding those things that remains largely invisible to outsiders. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/highlights-from-the-comments-on-liberalism

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin explore the concept of personality types through the lens of food, discussing what type of food they would be and why. The dorks then shift to their main topic, using the D&D alignment chart, they explore the moral complexities of characters like Darth Vader, Dolores Umbridge, Magneto, the Operative from Serenity, Javert from Les Misérables, Agent Smith from The Matrix, and many more to determine which fictional villains are truly Lawful Evil.   Things are wrapped up with another round of the movie clip guessing game, where Doug plays clips from different movies and Justin does his best to guess which films they're from.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

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.   Hyenas, Mariachis, and Pyrrhic Victory   The defense of Trail's homestead unfolds in multiple harrowing phases. As afternoon heat reaches itszenith, the terrifying whooping of hyenas breaks the silence - impossible creatures this far east, led by agiant specimen that sniffs the air with an almost humanoid smile before turning toward the defenders.   A fast-paced musical duel accompanies the battle as serpentine guitar melodies coil around each otherwhile a trumpet rises to take the lead. The party fights desperately against the pack, with the creatures'unnatural presence confirming the supernatural nature of their enemies.   As the last hyena dies in a pool of dark blood, the music shifts to haunting words in an unknown tongue.Four mysterious musicians fade into existence: Vargus (the black-suited leader with grey skin and bone-white guitar), Song of the Lonesome Howl (a spotted Tabaxi with brass instrument and pistol), Gerar (ayellow dragonborn guitarist with gila monster features), and Solis (a red-skinned tiefling with horn-shaped shoulder pads).   The battle is fierce and costly. Though our heroes' preparation and determination prove superior to thesupernatural mariachi band, their victory comes at a terrible price. The homestead burns above them asthey flee through Mac D's tunnel system, while Vargus screams "Consuela!" into the night, revealing apersonal connection to their enigmatic halfling companion.   Please support Dugongs & Sea Dragons on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DugongsAndSeadragons

The Top Guns are food focused on their night gin and magic beans. More people are looking for jobs so that means even more job interviews, and Nile poses the question "do you guys even like D&D?" Dungeon Master: Nile Séguin Party Members: Kyah Green, Leonard Chan, and Rebecca Reeds

One dark day in the TBC Patreon chat dungeons, our Patron Austin scrawled the following message to us: "...[D]uring the 80s there was a guy literally named Dick Wulf (Not to be confused with law and order producer and writer Dick Wolf) who made a Christian version of D&D called Dragonraid. There's very little documentation online about what the game system was like but it did exist and from what I can gather there was some sort of mechanic involving casting spells by reciting bible verses. Cut to like 2020, some forty years later, some Christian company approaches Dick Wulf to buy the intellectual rights to his fantasy world so they can rebrand as LightRaider the new Christian fantasy RPG sensation! For the low low price of 57.99! And to build hype as they were creating the actual system, they created LightRaider Academy, a trilogy of YA Novels." Based on this information, Chris could have read a LightRaider Academy novel, but, no - he had to spread the suffering around. So, he recruited his friends Phoebe and Kami to support Paris on an adventure into the world of DragonRaid. Our party gets to roll a single die and encounter terrifying dangers such as orcs, wolves, racist charicatures, and fat shaming! Don't even think about eating pie - literally. In addition to being our GM, Chris also did all of the scoring for today's episode. Remember that you can hire him at Oselka Sound for all of your composition, sound design, editing, music teaching, and session work needs. If you enjoyed our guests, you can find Phoebe on Instagram @phoebe.danskin and Kami on Twitch @maniacalpillow In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes discussion of Christianity, fatphobia, and anti-semitism.

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. Tunnels, Traps, and Musical Nightmares With the party split, we follow the defenders at Trail's homestead as they prepare for the Pusheen Brothers' promised return. The trio hatches an elaborate three-part defense plan: Ol' Mac D will dig an escape tunnel system to the bottom of the gorge (complete with traps and dead ends), they'll create pit traps spiked with hallucinogenic cactus needles, and manufacture crude flash-bang grenades. Mac D's tunnel-digging reveals an existing underground passage system, adding mystery to their defensive preparations. As they take a midday siesta on the porch during the blazing heat, Marshal hears haunting music approaching. When he investigates, he finds four musicians playing an eerie tune that raises his hackles - but when he turns to warn the others, both the music and the musicians have vanished. The psychological warfare begins as the music returns, audible to all. Those who speak Abyssal understand the sinister lyrics. For a full hour, the otherworldly melodies assault their minds, requiring periodic Charisma checks to resist the supernatural influence. The music creates an atmosphere of dread and anticipation, setting the stage for the coming battle. Please support Dugongs & Sea Dragons on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/DugongsAndSeadragons

Warlocks, Mystic Arcanum, and Our Deeply Cursed MySpace Past – Now Optimized for Maximum Emotional Damage! Tired of forgetting what Tyler said about multiclassing back in 2021? Want to relive the glory days of your favorite hot takes, Warlock rants, and deeply cursed jokes? Good news! RPGBOT.net is proud to announce that archived episodes of the RPGBOT.Podcast are now available on YouTube. That's right—every mispronounced spell, every wizard tangent, every moment of Tyler realizing he's said something horrible is now accessible. Search “RPGBOT Podcast” on YouTube and hit that play button like it owes you an Eldritch Invocation. A huge thanks to our guest, Gabe Greenspan — actor, writer, professional chaos gremlin, and the only person brave enough to optimize Warlocks and still talk about MySpace unironically. Gabe's insight runs as deep as his playlist is unhinged, and if you enjoyed this episode, you need to check out his other work: Total Party Skill – where razor-sharp theorycraft collides with chaotic actual play Tabletop Tunes – the ultimate soundtrack for your bard, your boss fights, or your brooding warlock vibes And learn more about Gabe at gabegreenspan.com, where the comedy's punchy, the projects are plentiful, and the bio page probably isn't haunted. Probably. Because let's be honest—every optimized Warlock deserves a killer theme song and a guest appearance from someone cooler than their DM. Show Notes This episode, we go from Dial-Up to Die-Resonance. The RPGBOT crew welcomes back Gabe Greenspan for part 2 of the Warlock optimization series using the D&D 2024 ruleset. After a brief trip down memory lane to the pixelated glory of MySpace Top 8s and AIM away messages, the conversation dives headfirst into Warlock mechanics from level 10 all the way to 20. Tyler, Randall, and Ash—plus Gabe—discuss spell selection, Mystic Arcanum picks, Eldritch Invocations, and the emotional weight of choosing your level 20 capstone. There's an alarming amount of love for spells that make you omnipresent, and maybe a bit too much nostalgia for the early internet. You'll laugh, you'll optimize, and you might question your teenage social media presence. From the philosophical (“What does it mean to be a Warlock?”) to the practical (“Why is Misty Step still doing so much work?”), this episode gives you the strategy, humor, and memes you need to build a Warlock that slaps—whether you're blasting, hexing, or sipping potions made of regret. Key Takeaways MySpace Trauma is Real: The team explores how early internet experiences shaped their current personalities... and also their spell lists. Spell Selection Is Everything: Choosing the right spells is like curating your Top 8—deeply personal, slightly toxic, and possibly game-breaking. Mystic Arcanum = Late Game Power: Learn which spells will turn your Warlock from “mysterious loner” into “arcane juggernaut.” Leveling with Purpose: Level 10 through 20 contains major decision points that define how your Warlock handles endgame content, narrative moments, and group synergy. Multiclass Temptations: Warlocks continue to be the gateway class for players who want to dip a toe in every magical pond. Warlock 2024 Is Glowing Up: The new rules breathe life into a class that was already beloved. Now it's leaner, meaner, and finally makes sense at higher levels. Meta Humor + Mechanics = RPGBOT: Balancing crunchy optimization with existential jokes is our specialty—and also the entire episode.

A warlock, a podcaster, and a spider walk into a subclass draft. Guess which one survives? Tired of forgetting what Tyler said about multiclassing back in 2021? Want to relive the glory days of your favorite hot takes, Warlock rants, and deeply cursed jokes? Good news! RPGBOT.net is proud to announce that archived episodes of the RPGBOT.Podcast are now available on YouTube. That's right—every mispronounced spell, every wizard tangent, every moment of Tyler realizing he's said something horrible is now visually accessible. Search “RPGBOT Podcast” on YouTube and hit that play button like it owes you an Eldritch Invocation. A huge thanks to our guest, Gabe Greenspan — actor, writer, professional chaos gremlin, and the only person brave enough to optimize Warlocks and still talk about MySpace unironically. Gabe's insight runs as deep as his playlist is unhinged, and if you enjoyed this episode, you need to check out his other work: Total Party Skill – where razor-sharp theorycraft collides with chaotic actual play Tabletop Tunes – the ultimate soundtrack for your bard, your boss fights, or your brooding warlock vibes Because let's be honest—every optimized Warlock deserves a killer theme song and a guest appearance from someone cooler than their DM. Episode Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives headfirst into the infernal depths of Warlock optimization using the 2024 D&D rules—and they bring backup. Special guest Gabe Greenspan, co-host of Total Party Skill, joins Tyler, Randall, and Ash for a warlock subclass draft with high stakes, dark bargains, and more tactical wizardry than your average infernal patron would allow. The team begins with an inside look at their podcast dynamics (spoiler: there's a countdown and Tyler's fear of spiders) before summoning Gabe to the virtual table. What follows is a strategic subclass showdown where each host selects Warlock builds using the updated 2024 rules. Along the way, they explore new features like Magical Cunning, enhanced invocations like Agonizing Blast (yes, you can double dip), and freshly buffed staples like Fiendish Vigor. They highlight the tactical benefits of spells like Bane, Fairy Fire, and Protection from Evil and Good, while also emphasizing the narrative fun of backgrounds, species, and Awakened Mind-fueled party banter. If you've ever wanted to optimize a Warlock who can hide in plain sight, strike fear into the hearts of fiends, and psychically text their party mid-fight, this episode's for you. Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt Sublime (the band) Key Takeaways Gabe Greenspan brings big optimizer energy and podcast finesse to the table. Tyler really hates spiders. Like, a lot. You can take Agonizing Blast more than once in the 2024 rules, and yes, it's worth it. Fiendish Vigor got a glow-up and now comes preloaded with better survivability. Bane is lowkey busted now—enemy saves are easier to tank in the new rules. Invisibility-on-demand is real, thanks to improved invocations. Warlocks can now customize their playstyle far more than in previous editions. Party synergy matters, especially when everyone is making dark deals for spell slots. Spell selection is more important than ever, with crowd control and tactical choices front and center. The team shares character backstories that range from whimsical to unhinged (looking at you, TORTAL). Character drafts are a great way to explore subclass features in a fun and collaborative format.

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. Hospitality, Heartbreak, and the Pusheen Brothers On the road to the mine, the party encounters Trail in the Grass, a tuxedo-furred Tabaxi homesteader speaking ill of the mine owner. They decide to join him at his small homestead, where he shares a meal and his tragic story - the loss of his mate, the festering of his land and animals, and the growing pressure from Laurentine, the powerful mine owner who's been buying up land along the gorge through increasingly aggressive means. The party is moved to help, offering comfort through song, helping clean his modest shack, and... well, in Mac D's case, shapeshifting into a goat to eat some of the grass. Their evening of frontier hospitality is interrupted when Mac D, wild-shaped into a local bird, spots the Pusheen Brothers - those calico Tabaxi troublemakers - approaching the homestead. In a classic Western standoff, Consuela and Morgan intercept the brothers while Marshal and Trail take defensive positions. The Alley Cat gang members, surprised by the protection and presence of capable, dangerous women, exchange heated words before departing with a warning: Trail has four days to vacate his property, or they'll return with "overwhelming influence." Faced with this threat, the party splits up - Marshal and Mac D staying to help fortify Trail's homestead, while Consuela and Morgan return to Liberty Bluff to investigate the widow of a geologist who died while investigating the mines.

El Gobierno de Dina Boluarte desestimó la orden de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH), que exigía suspender de inmediato el trámite del proyecto ley de amnistía para integrantes de las Fuerzas Armadas y la Policía Nacional que vienen siendo investigados por cometer presuntos delitos de violación de derechos humanos en el marco de la lucha contra el terrorismo entre 1980 y 2000. Tras la firme decisión del Gobierno peruano los organismos expertos en derechos humanos expresaron su preocupación por la aprobación del proyecto de ley, al considerar que viola normas internacionales y contradice los compromisos asumidos por el Perú en materia de justicia y reparación. "Esta ley deja en total impunidad y premia a militares, policías y miembros de los comités de Autodefensa que violaron los derechos humanos" - Tania Pariona, secretaria general de la Coordinadora Nacional de Derechos Humanos La ley de amnistía, que aún está pendiente de la promulgación por parte del ejecutivo, afectaría a 156 víctimas con sentencia firme y otras 600 en proceso de investigación. La Coordinadora Nacional de Derechos Humanos (CNDDHH), que ha acompañado y denunciado varios casos de violaciones durante el conflicto interno, sostiene a través de su secretaria general, Tania Pariona, que de aprobarse este indulto borraría décadas de lucha por justicia y verdad. Leer tambiénCongreso peruano aprueba ley de amnistía a militares y policías procesados por violaciones de DD. HH. "Consideramos que esto es altamente lesivo para el acceso a la justicia de las víctimas y los familiares que lucharon décadas por conseguir una sentencia", afirma Pariona. "Esta ley deja en total impunidad y premia a militares, policías y miembros de los comités de Autodefensa que violaron los derechos humanos", declara la secretaria general de la CNDDHH. "Los familiares de las víctimas están no solo revictimizados de forma permanente al alcanzar la justicia bastante tardía, sino que otra vez se les vuelve a revictimizar. Esto les golpea en lo más doloroso, la amnistía anula todo lo que ellos caminaron por buscar la verdad, por lograr una audiencia pública. En el Perú estamos viviendo un contexto, ya no un debilitamiento democrático, sino un deterioro ya de las bases mínimas de un Estado de derecho", aclara la defensora de los derechos humanos.  Se ha institucionalizado la impunidad bajo estas leyes La Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos avisó que, de promulgarse la ley sin atender sus observaciones, el Estado peruano estaría incurriendo en un incumplimiento de las medidas provisionales vigentes en esos casos. Por ello, exigió que la iniciativa legislativa no continúe su trámite y que, en caso de ser promulgada, las autoridades se abstengan de aplicarla hasta que se evalúe su impacto legal en los procesos supervisados por el sistema interamericano. Leer tambiénRechazo por la nueva ley de amnistía para policías y militares acusados de violaciones de DDHH en Perú "Se ha institucionalizado la impunidad bajo estas leyes. Se cuestiona hoy la pertenencia del Perú al sistema Interamericano y esto profundiza la crisis institucional y pone en riesgo, no solo la posibilidad de acceder a la justicia en instancias supranacionales de parte de los ciudadanos peruanos, sino que además el Estado está dejando de ser el primer garante de los derechos humanos y más bien siendo el actor violatorio de los derechos humanos", dice Tania Pariona.  Perú ya aprobó en agosto de 2024 una ley que declaró prescrito los crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos antes de 2002 en la lucha contra las guerrillas, una iniciativa que benefició al difunto expresidente Alberto Fujimori y a 600 militares procesados. Según la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación, existen en Perú más de 4.000 fosas clandestinas producto de la violencia política que dejó unas 70.000 víctimas de 1980 a 2000.

TPK'd by Boredom: The Unearthed Arcana Wizard Review You Didn't Know You Needed (But Absolutely Deserved) This episode is sponsored by Dungeonflow.app — your one-stop shop for prepping tabletop RPGs without needing a Philosopher's Stone or a necromantic ritual. Whether you're building combat encounters, crafting creepy room descriptions, or generating traps that scream "this is absolutely a mimic," DungeonFlow helps you get from “session prep” to “actual fun” faster than a wizard can say Teleport. Try it today and let your players think you actually planned all that chaos. Show Notes: In this second arcane-infused episode of our Unearthed Arcana 2025 Arcane Subclass Review, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew digs into the grimy, glittery, and occasionally disappointing world of Wizard subclasses in Dungeons & Dragons. With a recent brush with TPK in Pathfinder fresh in their minds, the hosts pivot hard into analyzing how these newest subclass offerings stack up in the evolving landscape of tabletop RPG mechanics. We cover the Necromancer and Transmuter in painstaking detail—because someone had to—and explore what happens when spellcasting flavor is buried under generic mechanics. You'll hear: Our collective lamentation over how the 2014 Necromancer outshines its 2025 counterpart like a lich at a zombie-themed talent show. Thoughts on summoning mechanics and why “quantity over quality” isn't cutting it in modern RPG gameplay. How enchantment magic still feels like it belongs in the villain starter pack, and whether that stigma is deserved. A breakdown of the Transmuter's identity crisis—do we really need another subclass pretending to be Fullmetal Alchemist Lite? The case for letting polymorphing shine, and why Split Transmutation sounds way cooler than it actually is. A not-so-gentle rant about teleportation fatigue—yes, it's cool, but must every subclass get a blink-and-you're-there feature? Why holding a spellbook to use subclass features feels like the worst homework assignment in tabletop gaming. And, of course, a discussion on the balance between fun and mechanics, the impact of community feedback, and the ever-ongoing quest for innovative gameplay design in D&D and beyond. Unearthed Arcana: Arcane Subclasses Content from RPGBOT.net UA: Arcane Subclasses Review Key Takeaways: Preparation matters—whether you're avoiding a TPK or building a viable subclass. Necromancers deserve unique summons, not recycled skeletons with a new paint job. Enchantment continues to struggle with its PR campaign. It's not always evil, but it's rarely exciting. Summoning mechanics need a redesign that favors creativity and flavor over sheer volume. Teleportation overload is turning arcane subclasses into a game of magical leapfrog. Holding your spellbook to unlock powers is a mechanic best left in the "Why?" folder. The 2014 Necromancer had more thematic weight and better gameplay synergy. The Transmuter subclass lacks a clear identity and desperately needs a polymorph glow-up. Wondrous Enhancement is a rare bright spot, making Enhance Ability actually feel worth casting. Overall, the Unearthed Arcana material feels like wasted potential—players crave excitement, not just another stack of mechanics. Community feedback is essential—without it, subclasses like these risk fading into obscurity like a wizard failing a concentration check.

Send us a textThis coming Saturday evening in Bristol, TN the most fans ever to attend an MLB game are predicted to watch the Reds and Braves. HOF inductions took place Sunday in Cooperstown where it was as hot as it always is for those ceremonies. Dave Parker's son spoke eloquently about him and Dick Allen's widow Willa gave a moving tribute to an all-time great. Billy Wagner, C.C. Sabathia and Ichiro Suzuki all very deserving, were celebrated.  The MLB trade deadline is Friday this week and there have yet to be big-time deals but there's still time. This week in baseball's biggest story on the field was Nick Kurtz's amazing game for the A's vs. the Astros in Houston. 6 for 6 with 4 HR's and a record-tying 19 total bases! Shawn Green has company!  We talk about Win Probability Added - WPA, which catalogs which players are the ones that contribute to a team's winning chances the most. Barry Bonds, HOFers Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams are the top three with Willie Mays and Henry Aaron right behind on the all-time list and on the pitching side Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson, and Roger Clemens lead the pitchers in WPA and nobody should b surprised.  The stats list a ton of HOFers and a few that should be HOFers!It is the Braves that have three pitchers w initials DD not the Rangers. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

TSR and Wizards of the Coast veteran Steve Winter (Steve achieved one of the longest tenures across both companies). Steve plays guitar. Steve likes Shadowdark RPG, and is also interested in Knave, Savage Worlds, and Cthulhu / horror games. Steve has a definite favorite version of D&D (he finds it elegant and intuitive). Deep character backstory doesn't equal plot armor. Sometimes we get too used to magic in games and think of it as technology… magic should be a bit fearsome and untame. Noteworthy moments of going insane in a Cthulhu game. Skyrim and Baldur's Gate 3 discussion. Steve co-wrote the scenario for the Gold Box Pool of Radiance game. Some words about Jim Ward. Early versus later days at TSR. The job that was Steve's best year at TSR. How was the work divided at TSR? Steve offers some perspective on Lorraine Williams's leadership, given that he was right there. What was it like to be at TSR and watch Magic: The Gathering explode onto the scene? Steve worked on Spellfire, TSR's response to MtG. What was it like transitioning from TSR to WotC? Star Frontiers: how it went from hard sci-fi to “D&D in space” and how employees' desire for royalties led to its creation (and ultimately to the departure of Lawrence Schick from TSR). Marvel Super Heroes RPG discussion (MSH is HUGE for Shane personally). Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #284 - 7/28/2025 Like what you hear?

Knowledge skills: because sometimes knowing what's in the dungeon is more important than knowing how to kill it. In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew breaks down the often-overlooked but mechanically vital Knowledge skills in tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. The gang explores how these skills function in the game, how they've changed over editions, and why your party's lore nerd is secretly carrying your campaign. They explore how Knowledge checks can enrich worldbuilding, deepen immersion, and add mechanical weight to player choices. Whether you're identifying a creature, recalling ancient lore, or flexing your Arcana at a smug wizard, the right knowledge at the right time can mean the difference between survival and a total party kill. The episode also dives into how different systems handle knowledge, including Pathfinder 1e's granular Knowledge skills, D&D 5e's streamlined Intelligence-based skills, and how GMs can reward players for investing in information-gathering instead of just smiting things with swords or spells. Key Takeaways: Knowledge skills are essential for both roleplay depth and mechanical advantage. They can be undervalued by players but are a powerful tool when supported by the GM. Systems vary widely in how they handle knowledge – make sure to know what's available to you. GMs should reward curiosity and learning with story reveals, tactical insight, and world connection. Players who invest in knowledge can shift the direction of the story, avoid deadly fights, and impress powerful NPCs. Lore-focused characters add richness and versatility to any party—especially in exploration-heavy campaigns.

Hexblades, Tattoos, and AI—Oh My! The Unearthed Arcana Subclass Roast Begins! This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is sponsored by our friends at DungeonFlow.app — the fastest way to go from “I have five minutes to prep” to “My players think I'm a genius.” Generate dungeons, traps, room descriptions, and now combat encounters with just a few clicks. It's like having a magical AI intern that doesn't eat your snacks or argue about flanking rules. Check it out today! In this episode, the RPGBOT crew puts on their wizard hats and dives face-first into the latest batch of Unearthed Arcana content from Wizards of the Coast. What's on the menu? A buffet of subclasses that range from “pretty okay” to “who let this out of playtesting?” The team kicks things off by discussing the role of AI in gaming, including its growing influence, its potential for humor, and whether it can generate a subclass that doesn't suck (spoiler: jury's still out). Then, the hosts dive into some of the new arcane-themed subclass options currently in public playtest. From the Arcana Domain Cleric's handy new toolkit to the Arcane Archer's complete renovation (now with fewer reasons to cry), they explore the good, the bad, and the “seriously, why does the Tattooed Warrior Monk need a short rest for this?” They also take aim at the Ancestral Sorcery subclass, which is trying to make "spiritual déjà vu" a core mechanic. Meanwhile, everyone wrestles with the realization that the once-iconic Hexblade may have lost its edge (both literally and figuratively). Finally, the crew speculates wildly (as tradition demands) about future D&D releases, including whether Elminster is due for a gritty reboot and if spellcasters can finally just have one subclass that doesn't explode under scrutiny. Unearthed Arcana: Arcane Subclasses Content from RPGBOT.net UA: Arcane Subclasses Review Key Takeaways: AI in TTRPGs can enhance gameplay—and jokes—when used well. The Arcana Domain Cleric gets quality-of-life boosts that feel earned and fun. Arcane Archer is no longer just sad Legolas with homework; resource management changes help a lot. Tattooed Warrior Monk has style points but flops on execution—it's got big “cool tattoo, bro” energy with little payoff. Ancestral Sorcery adds flavor but not much else—do sorcerers really need more ancestry? Balancing class features is hard, but essential to avoid power creep or boredom. The Hexblade, once a fan favorite, now feels more like “that guy who peaked in 5E launch week.” Passive features are fine, but active abilities are what keep players engaged. Concentration mechanics continue to frustrate spellcasters everywhere. (Can we please have a nap?) Player feedback is shaping the next generation of D&D—keep yelling (constructively). The crew remains hopeful about future releases, including a potential return to iconic characters like Elminster. Want a second helping of subclass critiques and wizard-fueled speculation?

A Corpse, A Snake-Man, and Uncomfortable Questions The adventure kicks off proper-like in Mona Stanley's saloon, where Marshal Marshal runs into Morganthe necromancer over some heated words. Their attention turns to Consuela, a enigmatic halfling playing haunting music in a dark corner, before Ol' Mac D - aged and sun-addled - joins their growing circle. The evening takes a deadly turn when a man bursts through the saloon's swinging doors and collapses,dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Moments later, a snake-man gunslinger saunters in casual asyou please. When a local lawyer accuses the serpentine stranger of lawlessness, our heroes get mixed upin the confrontation, and the snake-man leaves with threats hanging in the air. Morgan, thinking quick, drags the corpse to a back room and animates it for questioning. The dead manreveals he was in the mine to the north and saw something he shouldn't have. Marshal Marshal sendsword to the local magistrate for a warrant to search the mine and arrest its owner, while the crew decidesto escort their magically silenced undead witness on the multi-day journey northward.

Susan recounts starting as employee #24 at Digital Domain in the early '90s, working on landmark projects like Titanic, and moving through various studios such as Lightstorm, A52, CIS, Zoic, and Riot. Along the way, she wore many hats, from operations to production, before pivoting to recruiting, where she found her niche connecting talent with opportunity while balancing her family life. Susan shares candid stories about the early days of VFX, the quirky culture at DD, and how she transitioned into recruiting and coaching. She and Chris discuss how the industry has changed with remote work, tax incentives, and the rise of AI and virtual production. Susan also offers practical advice for creative professionals on LinkedIn best practices, career resilience, and staying adaptable in uncertain times.
