Podcasts about Dragon Magazine

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where tonight we bravely attempt to eat the entire Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting menu in one sitting. No tie-ins, no supplements, no "this was technically in Dragon Magazine once" nonsense: just the official D&D settings, served tasting-menu style. From post-apocalyptic deserts where magic killed the planet, to punk fantasy with robot soldiers, to the setting so generic it's basically carbonated water, we're ranking, roasting, and reminiscing about the worlds that shaped tabletop roleplaying games. Grab your character sheet, loosen your belt, and prepare for Forgotten Realms Coke vs Greyhawk Pepsi discourse. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we review the official Dungeons & Dragons campaign settings created by Wizards of the Coast (excluding licensed tie-ins and sub-settings) to help players and Dungeon Masters understand what makes each world distinct. Rather than deep dives, this episode delivers a high-level overview of each D&D setting's tone, themes, and playstyle, helping listeners decide which campaign setting best fits their table. Campaign Settings Covered Birthright – A kingdom-management focused D&D setting where divine bloodlines grant rulers supernatural authority. Ideal for players who want politics, rulership, and domain-level play alongside traditional adventuring. Dark Sun – A grimdark, post-apocalyptic fantasy setting defined by ecological collapse, psionics, scarce resources, and moral ambiguity. One of D&D's darkest campaign settings. Dragonlance – Epic fantasy rooted in legendary novels, fallen gods, returning dragons, and mythic heroism. A classic D&D setting built around narrative arcs and world-shaking events. Eberron – A pulp fantasy and dungeon-punk setting where magic functions as technology. Airships, warforged, political intrigue, and post-war fallout define this highly popular D&D world. Forgotten Realms – The default D&D campaign setting for 5e. High-magic, high-fantasy, dense lore, iconic characters, and flexible adventure design make it the most widely recognized setting. Greyhawk – The original published D&D setting, emphasizing sword-and-sorcery, moral ambiguity, and classic fantasy roots tied to iconic spells and characters. Mystara – A simplified fantasy setting originally designed for Basic D&D, featuring lighter tone, fewer races, and a more approachable style for new or younger players. Nentir Vale – A minimalist fourth-edition setting designed as a flexible framework rather than a fully realized world—perfect for Dungeon Masters who prefer homebrew. Planescape – A multiversal setting centered on Sigil, the City of Doors. Philosophical factions, planar travel, cosmic weirdness, and reality-bending concepts define this fan-favorite. Ravenloft – Gothic horror fantasy featuring cursed domains, tragic villains, and psychological dread. A setting focused on atmosphere, consequences, and survival. Spelljammer – Space fantasy for D&D, blending swashbuckling adventure with crystal spheres, astral travel, and magical ships sailing between worlds. Key Takeaways Not all D&D campaign settings are designed for the same playstyle—some emphasize politics, others horror, survival, or pulp action. Forgotten Realms works as the most flexible and accessible default setting, especially for new players. Eberron stands out for its coherent worldbuilding and logical use of magic as technology. Dark Sun and Ravenloft require player buy-in due to their heavy themes and darker tone. Planescape offers unmatched freedom and philosophical depth but demands strong DM preparation. Nentir Vale exists primarily as a DM toolkit rather than a narrative world. Older settings like Greyhawk, Dragonlance, and Mystara remain relevant for groups seeking classic fantasy vibes or nostalgia-driven campaigns. Dungeon Masters should choose a setting that reinforces—not fights—the story they want to tell. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Lights, Camera, Action! Dive into the World of Spanish Martial Arts Cinema with Nacho Serapio and Alberto Hidalgo. In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the immense pleasure of speaking with two incredible talents from the Spanish film industry, Nacho and Alberto. Both martial arts champions and now rising stars in the world of action cinema, their journeys are nothing short of inspiring. In this awesome episode, Alberto and Nacho talk to Andrew Staton, senior reporter, at the Doncaster UK Martial Arts Show. Nacho's story is one of perseverance and passion. Growing up with a love for action movies and martial arts, he was inspired by legends like Don Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock. His dedication led him to win nine world championships in martial arts, which paved the way for his entry into the film industry. Despite a setback with a broken hand, Nacho channeled his energy into creating his first movie, "Bullets and Katanas." This action comedy features an impressive 50-minute one-take sequence, a testament to Nacho's commitment to delivering an immersive experience. The film has garnered over 20 awards and earned Nacho a place in the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Alberto's journey is equally compelling. Inspired by Bruce Lee at a young age, he pursued martial arts and acting with unwavering determination. His collaboration with Nacho on "Bullets and Katanas" was a fantastic experience, and it led to Nacho directing Alberto's own film, "Hard Coin." This film blends action, comedy, and a touch of drama, showcasing Alberto's skills both in front of and behind the camera. With six novels to his name, Alberto's storytelling prowess shines through in "Hard Coin," which is set to premiere at the Tag Fest in Toledo. The conversation also touched on the rich history of Spanish stuntmen and their influence on the action film genre. Nacho and Alberto highlighted the contributions of Pedro Conde and Dragon Entertainment, a company that embodies the passion and dedication of Spanish filmmakers. Dragon Magazine, a publication dedicated to martial arts, has been a source of inspiration for many, including our guests. For fans of classic action movies and martial arts, this episode is a must-listen. Nacho and Alberto's stories are a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. Their films, "Bullets and Katanas" and "Hard Coin," are available on Amazon Prime UK and will soon be hitting film festivals and platforms worldwide. Tune in to our latest episode to hear more about their incredible journeys, the making of their films, and their vision for the future of Spanish martial arts cinema. Don't miss out on this action-packed and inspiring conversation! Filmed by Dean Meadows of Pentagram Pictures at the Martial Arts Show Doncaster event 2024 Learn more about your ad choices.

Recently, however, when he returned home to Canada, he decided it was also time to come back home to writing. Since then, his stories have often explored how our relationship with the natural world is intertwined with our spiritual journeys—as individuals, as communities, and as a collective humanity. Lance is also an avid astronomy and space-travel nut, and he found the germ of his story “Five Days Until Sunset” at the intersection of pondering the spiritual search that never ends and wondering what life might be like on a tidally locked, “eyeball” planet. The story also asks what it means to live in harmony with a world that is ready to kill you, and what it means to have faith in the face of inconvenient truths.

Today is the first of two extended conversations I've shared with some gaming luminaries over the course of a week focused on answering some practical questions around the barriers I have long experienced in running consistent campaigns. These conversations were largely unplanned and are really just that - hopping online to talk and discuss some key ideas with my guest. The first conversation was with Johnn Four, the founder of RoleplayingTips.com which began as a GM tips newsletter. Throughout the years, Johnn has published a GM advice column in Dragon Magazine, several books about how to improve your GMing, and continues to write on the topic of running better games. Johnn is perhaps best known for the 5 Room Dungeon and this was where we began our conversation… although we moved deeply on and, by the end of the conversation, Johnn helped me to unlock my own confidence in preparing a new fantasy campaign.Big thanks to Johnn for joining us!

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we take a look at The Dragon #1 (1976), the first issue of one of the most important RPG-focused magazines (also known as Dragon and Dragon Magazine, on and off through its run). We talk a little bit about the magazine's run, but focus mainly on the issue itself, how simultaneously amateurish and professional it is, and how sad it is that there is nothing really like it in the world anymore. Stu also takes a minute to explain just what a house organ really is. * * * Hang out with us on the Vintage RPG Discord!

To kick this effort off I reached out to my friend, and previous guest, Dave Gross. Dave Gross is currently working at Beamdog in Edmonton, but has an illustrious history in novels, short stories, tabletop roleplaying games, and magazine editing! He edited Dungeon Adventures, Dragon Magazine, Star Wars Insider, and Amazing Stories - and has written fiction for both Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder.

Wolfgang has an extensive list of products he has worked on for many companies - starting out at TSR in 1991. He has served as editor on both Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine, was involved in Planescape and Al-Qadim, and created numerous other products while at TSR. Outside of Dungeons and Dragons, he has contributed to such big-name properties as Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, Legend of the Five Rings, and Pathfinder. These days he is busy running Kobold Press, publishing quality products on a regular basis. We talk about everything from the challenge of naming things, to editing at the magazines, to running Kobold Press, and so much more. (*Note, this interview took place early in December, prior to the passing of the incredible Kim Mohan - who comes up in one of Wolfgang's anecdotes.) Enjoy!

Show Notes: This week, Fiona and guest co-host Matt (editor in chief of Dragon+ Magazine) give their spoiler-free first impressions of Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep - the latest book collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Critical Role! From the book's bio: 'Can You Change Fate? An epic Critical Role campaign for the world's greatest roleplaying game! The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him. Inspired by the campaigns of the hit series Critical Role, this adventure begins in the Wastes of Xhorhas and leads to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank'Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history.' Book discussed: 'Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep' published by Wizards of the Coast, March 2022. The adventure Matt mentions which involves rival adventuring parties is 'Heroes of High Fantasy: Artifices of Quartztoil Tower 5e Adventure' by Nord Games.
