Monsters got beefier, rules got weirder, and DMs everywhere are questioning their life choices—welcome to the 2024 Monster Manual meltdown! The RPGBOT.Podcast crew dives headfirst into the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual, and things get wild. Hot takes? Absolutely. Existential dread about humanoid reclassification? You bet. From debating whether False Appearance was too powerful (or if DMs were just lazy) to mourning the loss of non-magical damage resistance, this episode is packed with spicy opinions, monster mayhem, and just a tiny bit of rulebook-related outrage. The team also gushes over the ArchHag, questions the mysterious absence of high-level NPCs, and asks the important question: Does inflating HP while lowering AC make combat better or just longer? Whether you're here for monster breakdowns, homebrew chaos, or just to hear people passionately argue about stat blocks, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in now and embrace the madness! LINKS Blog of Holding: 2024 Monster Manual on an Index Card TheMonstersKnow.com Slings and Arrows RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes 2024 MONSTER MANUAL - Part 1: A Look Ahead 2024 D&D MONSTER MANUAL Pt 2 - A Look Ahead Content from RPGBOT.net 2024 DnD 5e Monster Manual Change Log Summary: In this delightfully chaotic episode, the hosts battle technical gremlins, reflect on life's existential woes, and somehow end up deep in the weeds of the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual. They break down the latest changes, from monster stat overhauls to baffling reclassifications (farewell, humanoids?), while throwing in plenty of humor and spicy opinions along the way. The discussion takes an intense turn as they dive into gameplay mechanics, lamenting the loss of beloved traits (RIP False Appearance) and questioning why poison and paralysis are suddenly less terrifying. They also express mixed feelings about the mysterious disappearance of damage resistances, argue whether inflated HP is a blessing or a curse, and call out the promised but mysteriously absent rulebook features. Of course, no Monster Manual discussion is complete without fawning over new monstrosities. The hosts gush over breathtaking artwork, break down standout creatures like the ArchHag and the Blob of Annihilation, and voice their strong opinions about the new and improved Mind Flayer. Wrapping up with thoughts on game balance, community feedback, and whether anyone actually follows official rules, this episode is a must-listen for DMs, players, and anyone who enjoys deep-diving into monster mechanics, stat block debates, and rulebook drama. Key Takeaways Monster Manual Madness The 2024 Monster Manual brings major changes, some exciting and some controversial. Monster design trends are shifting—goodbye non-magical resistances, hello glass cannons. Hags now have personal anathemas, which is both horrifying and amazing. The Blob of Annihilation is exactly as terrifying as it sounds. Mind Flayers got a glow-up, and players are here for it. The ArchHag is a fantastic new addition, possibly leading the Hag Cinematic Universe. Gameplay & Mechanics: The Great Debate False Appearance's removal: Was it too overpowered, or are DMs just lazy? Humanoids reclassified—because nothing says “fun” like redoing encounter tables. Poison and paralysis mechanics were nerfed, making things less deadly. Resistance to non-magical damage is gone. Bring tissues for your Barbarian. HP inflation versus AC reduction—a battle for the ages. Monsters now hit harder, last longer, and have questionable life choices. Community, Balance, and The Future of D&D Players expected big changes, but not these big changes. Where are the high-level humanoid NPCs? We miss them. Weapon masteries feel imbalanced, and future errata seem likely. Community feedback is key, but does WOTC actually listen? Homebrewing is both a blessing and a curse, especially with changing rulesets. Clear communication is essential for any game transition, looking at you, rulebook writers.

Season 3 of Stranger Things has come to a close, and we're breaking it all down in this epic wrap-up episode! Join us as we dive into the monstrous Mind Flayer showdown, the Scoops Troop's underground escapades, and the emotional highs and lows of Hopper, Eleven, and the gang. We'll discuss how the relationships evolve, the hidden Russian conspiracy, and the season's thrilling finale that left us both satisfied and eager for more. Plus, we ponder the mysteries of Hawkins and predict what might come next. Tune in for a lively discussion full of insights, laughs, and the best Stranger Things moments!

I nostri eroi sono più che mai determinati ad entrare nella fortezza dei Mind Flayer, con le buone... o con le cattive. Armati di prepotenza e brutte intenzioni, dirigono il loro sguardo verso la roccaforte di ossidiana tristemente identica a quella presente nella Paludi Dimenticate, utilizzata dall'Inquisizione per l'incarcerazione di prigionieri speciali. Le difese del fortino sembrano godere di un'intensa aura magica, così come il guardiano che lo difende.

I nostri eroi sono finalmente arrivati fuori dell'avamposto comandato dai Mind Flayer, identico sotto molti aspetti alla prigione inquisitoria sul Piano Materiale. I padroni di casa non sembrano essere interessati alle loro referenze, o quanto meno non in un primo momento. Per avere la loro attenzione, ai nostri eroi verrà chiesto di fare qualcosa di... inaspettato.

In this episode Kalvin and Chris break down all the key developments in Stranger Things Season 3, Episode 5, The Flayed. They dive into Hopper's explosive decisions, Nancy's top-tier investigative skills, and the eerie connection between Billy, the Mind Flayer, and the spreading menace in Hawkins. Did the gang bite off more than they can chew with the Russians and their secret tunnels? Tune in as they explore whether Nancy might just be the town's top detective and discuss why the team never says "no" to a monster-hunting mission! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Twitter and Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Magic3TVPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Check out all of our sweet merch at the Magic Number is 3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Store ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And learn more about The Magic Number is 3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Here

PARENTAL ADVISORY - EXPLICIT CONTENT: Prepare to have your brain slurped! This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, our hosts dive into the mind-blasting world of Mind Flayers! Ever wonder how a brain becomes a tentacle smoothie? Curious about undead Alhoons? Or just need combat tips in case an Elder Brain crashes your next campaign? We've got ALL the answers—plus a few tentacles. Tune in for laughs, lore, and life advice from the terrifying Ill-Sensei (now accepting students!). Buckle up for horror and hilarity—you don't want to miss this one! Listen now before your brain becomes lunch! Summary PARENTAL ADVISORY - EXPLICIT CONTENT: In this gut-busting episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, our fearless hosts dive headfirst into the creepy, crawly, brain-slurping world of Mindflayers! Get ready for a wild ride as they unravel the mysteries of Mindflayer reproduction (spoiler: it's grosser than you think), explain how a perfectly good brain turns into an eldritch smoothie via seromorphosis, and discuss the dark joys of becoming an undead Alhoon. If you've ever wanted to know how to survive an Elder Brain attack or how to pronounce Ulitharid without sounding like you're sneezing, this episode has you covered. Packed with horror, hilarity, and questionable life choices, this episode also digs deep into the Mindflayer hierarchy, the bizarre mentorship of Ill-Sensei (like a life coach, but for tentacle-faced nightmares), and tactical advice for surviving these horrifying brain bandits in your next tabletop campaign. It's a terrifyingly fun exploration of D&D's most iconic, brain-hungry monsters, and trust us—there are no bad ideas, just brain snacks!

Dual Sex Organs: They are hermaphroditic, having both male and female reproductive organs. Painful Transformation: Seromorphosis, the process of turning victims into Mind Flayers, takes about a week and is excruciating. Elder Brain Control: Mind Flayer society is ruthlessly controlled by Elder Brains, with no room for dissent. Ulitharid Rebels: Ulitharids, powerful Mind Flayers, can challenge the authority of Elder Brains. Short Lifespans and Cannibalism: They live only about 100 years, which often leads to cannibalism in their society. Absorbed Consciousness: When Mind Flayers die, their consciousness is absorbed by the Elder Brain. Mind Flayer Experiments: Strange creatures like Intellect Devourers and Cranium Rats are products of their terrifying experiments. Undead Variants: Alhoons are Mind Flayers that become undead through a dark process. Hive Mind Awareness: Stealth is nearly impossible against Mind Flayers due to their shared hive mind. Fragile but Deadly: Fighting them requires quick action and high intelligence saves because of their physical frailty. Elder Brain Command: Elder Brains are the central force controlling Mind Flayer colonies. Humor vs. Horror: Despite the terrifying nature of Mind Flayers, their lore is often discussed with dark humor. No Worship or Souls: Mind Flayers lack the concept of worship and do not possess souls. Central Antagonists: They make excellent primary villains or complex allies in tabletop campaigns. Good-Aligned Possibilities: Good-aligned Mind Flayers present unique narrative opportunities. Evil Representation: In most lore, Mind Flayers are depicted as inherently evil.

While SPACE CLOWNS bombarded Mairi and crew aboard their ship CEPHALOBROAD Githyanki soldiers stowed away and broke the party's prisoner, LIEUTENANT ZANTH from the brig. He made his way to the bridge intent on salvaging the silver sword of his late commanding officer and the MYSTERIOUS CRATE retrieved from the derelict Mind Flayer nautiloid. The fearsome fools proved too fierce a foe and between their acidic blood and the force grenades tossed by Giff soldier COMMODORE KRUX Mairi's ship was torn asunder.

Mairi is in space! Space, also known as THE ASTRAL SEA is navigated via specialized ships called SPELLJAMMERs. Mere moments after arriving in space Mairi and crew, aboard their commandeered spelljammer CEPHALABROAD, were attacked by GITHYANKI. They vanquished several of the boarding party and took one soldier, LIEUTENANT ZANTH hostage. He told them their planet was being seeded to drain its life energy and fuel that of his home star, XARYXIS. Before our heroes could give chase to the Gith's ship a NAUTILOID, ship favored by the brain-eating MIND FLAYER floated into view.This episode was inspired in part by Light of Xaryxis1PDnD is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

The Fools have convinced Roridas to give them a tenday before the Gith ride their red dragons into Baldur's Gate to cleanse it of the Mindflayer plague. So they plan a trip to Candlekeep to learn what they can do (if anything) to combat Bhaal—the Lord of Murder—and his machinations... This is Session 148 of BALDUR'S GATE: Eldritch Secrets.

In the Forgotten Realms setting and in the broader Dungeons & Dragons mythos, few creatures are more feared and reviled than Illithids - more commonly known as Mind Flayers. These tyrannical beings propagate by converting captives of other species; but what's left behind after a person becomes an Illithid? In this episode, Bruce and Caleb examine the events of Baldur's Gate 3 and weigh examples from other media to explore the question of Illithid identity. Expect heavy spoilers for the third act of Baldur's Gate 3. Email us: podcast@loreparty.com Slide into our DMs on Twitter and Instagram Visit our site to learn more about all our great shows!

Back to the lab again... oops there goes Rabbit... aka Hopper "Who let the dogs out?" Sorry corny music jokes aside... So we come back to the lab and the dogs are busting through and this is an action movie for bit. Joyce asks Will who she is and he hesitates to she stabs him... Well with a needle to put him to sleep, his true dad (Hopper) comes and picks him up Out in the woods Lucas and Dustin are still fighting over a girl and a dog. Steve hears something and they go to the lab where they find Nancy and Jonathon who have shown up to find all the lights out and the gate not working and Dustin shoves Jonathon and says "no you push button, I push button" After Bob gets the lights on and dies the most unnecessarily brutal death in the history of streaming tv, the rest of them minus Owens who is a nice guy after all who stays behind to get them all out. RIP Bob Newby, Superhero, but now #Jopper can be a thing They all go to Joyce's and sit around sad and discuss giant monster nazis that take over brains and then take Will out to the shed for a good whipping... Just kidding, they take him out there to interrogate him and tell him sad stories about his traumatic childhood This forces the Will inside to tap out some morse code to let them know how to stop the smoke Nazi but not before those dang telemarketers ruin everything and Will figures out where he is and calls the hounds of hell (aka the upside down) to his side to kill his family, what a sweet little boy lol They all stand at the ready but one by one hear the demo dogs getting demolished outside... then the door opens and it's our GIRL ELEVEN is back BITCHES, she's home and she's kicking ass and taking names... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/raine-l/support

Underground finally, the Fools find the lair of the Mindflayer... but there are plenty of obstacles to face first, in this good ol' fashioned dungeon crawl! This is Session 133 of DICELORE's BALDUR'S GATE: Eldritch Secrets!

We here at Sickboy are trying to practice what we preach. Speaking openly about your mental health is not always easy and Jer knows this firsthand. This week the boys discuss Jer's new diagnosis of clinical depression and how an addiction was a manifestation of his recent mental health crisis. Look… video games aren't BAD, but lying to your friends and loved ones in order to squeeze in more time saving the Sword Coast from the impending Elder Brain infestation as a level 12 half Bard Half Warlock named Imlin in Baldurs Gate 3 is not a great way to manage your mental health. In other news: Chemo in combination with lasers turns the treatment from a shotgun blast to a sniper shot. Not unlike the laser blasted from Imlin's hands as he invokes an eldritch blast directed at a Owlbear trying to tear him to pieces. We can learn a lot about our health based on the shape of our poop… sort of like how you can learn a lot about your overall performance as a half Bard half Warlock when you pay close attention to how you develop your skill tree. For WHAT THE HELLTH!??! The guys discover a condition where some people have 5 fingers, but no thumbs! Not unlike a Mind Flayer which has no need for thumbs as they can control their environment with the innate psychic powers. Don't worry, Imlin is okay. Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN

In Session 129 of DICELORE's BALDUR'S GATE: Eldritch Secrets, the meeting with Commander Porter finally arrives, and the Fools find out she's not really very nice. Still, she gives them a bunch of info, and they gain access to the Teleportation Circle at the Seatower! While waiting for their meeting time with Ribbons in the Undercellar, our heroes decide to act on some info from Porter and check out the Brampton section of the city, where there have been some disappearances. While there, Stedd's Locate Creature spell pings on a Mindflayer, just 100 feet or so beneath the ground! The Fools prepare to rush in...
