In this episode of the It's A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters dons their red robes, lights their black candles, and cracks open some nigh-forgotten texts called ‘Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy', which contains some of the most disturbing bad guys ever published by Wizards of the Coast.

In this shorter pre Christmas episode, Ryan and Bert talk about a range of all things nerdy.  Predator 2 (yes, really) and WotC replacing the original Minsc voice actor, Jim Cummings, with Matt "The Harbinger of D&Death" Mercer get the treatment first.  Then the boys move on to a news segment that is all over the place before talking about the trials and tribulations for Hollywood Head Nerd Henry Cavill.  Lastly, a woke, less-than-friendly gaming store gets the finale it earned. ----more---- The News: Ghibli Park!

It's all Jake all the time! Matt is out for the week but Jake just had to get his 2 cents in on this travesty of a B&R announcement. Other than that legacy is the same hot mess it usually is even though WOTC assures us that UR delver is only 9% of the meta. The 4 - color Minsc and Boo lists are firing off though. Modern actually saw a ban so there is very little discussion on the modern meta for this week since it is now dead.

Show Notes: This week, Fiona and Hamilton check out 'Minsc & Boo's Journal of Villany' - a D&D 5e sourcebook that had a surprise release in October this year. The journal stars two fan-favourite characters from the video game series Baldur's Gate; Minsc, the legendary ranger and his pet (giant space) hamster, Boo. From the book's bio: 'A century has passed since the Bhaalspawn fought over the legacy of their father — Bhaal, the Lord of Murder. Two heroes witnessed the epic struggle firsthand — the ranger Minsc and his faithful companion, Boo.' 'Minsc and Boo were able to track down old friends and hated enemies and find out what they've been up to over the past century. They've compiled everything into this journal, edited by the traveler extraordinaire, Volo Geddarm.' 'Included in this journal are four cities, including Athkatla and Baldur's Gate; ten group patrons led by some of Minsc and Boo's old friends; a dozen new monsters; six arch-villains and eleven dastardly henchmen.' All proceeds of 'Minsc & Boo's Journal of Villainy' will go to the charity Extra Life the gaming charity that supports children's hospitals in the Children's Miracle Network. This episode's audio was taken from the VOD originally premiering on Dragon's Duel's Twitch channel on Thursday 5th November 2021.

Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy released in October and it has absolutely blown us away with what information is inside of it and the price point. So is Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy the best D&D 5e book released, even though it is not technically an official release? We get into that and much more in this deep dive into this new book from James Ohlen, who created the original Baldur's Gate games!Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/dungeoncrawlnetworkOur links & Discord - https://linktr.ee/dungeoncrawlpod     Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.comAdditional sound effects obtained from https://www.audioblocks.com/and SynrinscapeMusic from https://filmmusic.io"Unseen Horrors" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Do you agree with the internet and think it's a model for how Wizards should be doing releases going forward, or is this just more of the same? So do you think the UA release is finally definitive proof that WotC will be releasing Spelljammer in 5e, or is this yet another red herring that's just got way more effort than usual?Regardless of the reason for it, what do you think of the actual races in the UA? Are they new and interesting with a few quirks that need to be fixed, or are they overpowered with mechanics or entire entries that need to be scrapped and redone?Heroes Rise are always on the lookout for new team members that have a passion for Dungeons and Dragons.

Our LGS has setup an online store! @MothershipGames - 8:04 @getkeeps - 6:54 @scryfall - 11:56 Ep 106 Community Spotlight: Disclaimer: This is still very much a work in progress! It's called Classmander because you start with one of the 12 class cards in the Command zone: https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=type%3Aclass Zack and Ryan discuss which class they would start with, and maybe look into what starting creature they would pick Zack - Warlock Class Cabal Initiate Leech Fanatic Promising Duskmage Ranger Norwood Ranger Orochi Ranger Ryan - Bard/Ranger/Rogue are tempting I think we can have the same kind of tax on your class card, as you have on a normal Commander The plan is also to start with a vanilla-ish creature in the Command zone, preferably of the same creature type as your class (Currently no Fighter or Sorcerer) It might be cool to let characters multi-class after a certain level, plus this would allow for decks to be 3 or more colors. By the end of the campaign (or maybe multiple campaigns) have a legendary creature, a class, and a 100 card singleton deck, hence the name Classmander. The idea: Play many games of Classmander over a long period of time, similar to a D&D campaign length. Basically a TTRPG but instead of dice rolling to resolve combat, you play games of Magic. We have 3 spreadsheets so far (see, it's serious!) Monster Manual This is the least fleshed out bit so far.  You could also have a higher-level skeleton deck that runs cards like Skeletal Swarming and Death Baron The idea for this is to create “encounter decks”, so for example you could have a skeleton deck with regenerating creatures, that the players will have to team up to get out of the way, because regenerating taps the creature This is a spreadsheet with a tab for each class. I went through the exercise of creating the starting level 1 Cleric deck (I have added cards to some of the other Classes, but very few).  Cleric Classmanders: Kitsune Diviner, Keepers of the faith, Samite Healer The idea is for the deck to be as “bad” as possible at the start. The lower you start, the more you have to gain, and that's going to be the fun part of this game, Character progression! Avacyn's Collar Healer's Headdress Potion of Healing Shield of the Realm True-Faith Censer (see the flavor coming through!!!!) Class Specific Cards Fifty Feet of Rope Adventuring Gear Blazing Torch Explorer's Scope Dungeon Map Cards that could go in ANY starting deck Paladin's Shield Sigil of Valor Paladin Sorcerer's Wand Sorcerer Blinding Powder Thieve's Tools Rogue Class Guide Rules Tab Place to put all the general stuff The idea here is that you can put any sort of equipment or artifact or book. You know, flavorful stuff like Bag of Holding. Basically people playing in pods/campaigns will ask to have certain cards they want to add to their decks added to the item list Items Tab Same idea as the items tab, but with creatures you want to add to your deck. Might start off with a base price for common, and then more for an uncommon, and more for rare, and more still for mythic Rare. Maybe legendary creatures cost a bunch? Still playing with this idea Hirelings The idea here is that we can have a Drizzt deck, or a Minsc deck. Some adventurer that can show up and either help the players, or be an obstacle. NPCs This is going to be a template, like the kind you print out for D&D characters, it's still pretty rough currently. Character Sheet There isn't much here, but the idea is that by level 20, which should be max level, you will have: Starting life total of 40 (maybe we can let this go lower/higher based on class?) 7 Starting hand size A cool legendary creature at the helm of your deck Lots of sweet cards in your deck. We can even have some cards gifted to each character upon level up Level Up Guide Classmander Core Rulebook Let's flesh out the details a bit more We do not have a campaign created, but would be cool if we eventually get there. In the meantime, it might be fun to get a party together, and just play a few rounds against some of the encounter decks, and see what leveling up could look like The idea here is that all good adventurers take the time to keep their skills sharp, so why not have a sparring match (Montage!) against 3 other players of similar level? Good way to gain experience, and maybe gold. We're gonna need a montage! How do you get experience? The plan is to let Patrons contribute to the spreadsheets. Ideally, a single patron could take on the challenge of creating the level 1 deck for a particular class.  Also, we plan to add a Slack channel, so that people can share ideas. Say, like Zane wants to make the Sorcerer deck, but maybe Andy Bentley has some ideas to share,  Do you want to get involved? What do you think of this idea? Is this something you'd be interested in participating in? If so, hit us up on Patreon.com/commandersocial. Was this a fun/entertaining episode? Please let us know.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we return to our series on Baldur's Gate with an interview with James Ohlen, who was lead designer on the title. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Podcast breakdown: 0:50 Interview 52:50 Break 53:21 Outro Issues covered: starting a comic book store at 19 right before the market crashed, the origin of Minsc, starting at BioWare, building an IP bible as a way to start, working the killer hours and becoming the lead designer, putting in the 25000 hours, getting lucky and selling millions of copies, the impossibility of faking love, the choice between real-time and turn-based leading to pause-and-play, being delayed by Diablo, having contributions from everyone for design, sharing credit, feeling of playing D&D more important than perfect translation, balancing being easy due to so many party members, feeling smart, finding patterns in your party, relying on save and load, random numbers, the team testing the game, using characters from the binder, finding the voice for Minsc, writers taking ownership of voice, the passing of a player, bringing in characters from more players, growing the Sword Coast, staying away from the main space others were used, the perks of working for Wizards, four types of player, learning to respect player types, the end of a game being less tested, fighting the "dumbing down" due to overplay, engaging with the community, Karzak the Half-Orc and Gromnir and criticism, incorporating another player's character in to some coming work, caring so much for the license, being able to put infinite hours in.

Returning to Murder in Baldur's Gate, our heroes continue their investigation of the theft of Minsc's hands and Boo.

E3 2019: Jason Schreier talks to Larian Studios boss Swen Vincke and D&D creative chief Mike Mearls about how the Baldur's Gate 3 deal came together, what it's like to make a video game based on Dungeons & Dragons in 2019, and whether Minsc and Boo will be in the game. They talk about the confusion of D&D spell slots, the "infinite possibilities" in a game like this, and how great role-playing games are made.

Discussing one of Kai's all-time favorite games, and Stephen keeps interrupting with Stargate talk. Also we get a call from Minsc himself! Go for the eyes, Boo!

With the release of Warhammer: Vermintide 2, we decided to celebrate the lovable dirtbag of videogames. The lowly, filthy, wonderful rat. Adam respects the helpful rats of Dishonored, who take the blame for all unusual noises. Matt likes the swag-carrying Loot Rat of Vermintide 2, who scurries away as you pursue it. And Brendan vents his disappointment at the Rat King of Dark Souls 2, who’s just a normal rat with a posh accent. But who among the three of our hosts is a rat themselves? Find out (and play along) in our squeaky quiz.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, which this week begins a new series exploring 1999 Infinity Engine classic Planescape: Torment. We situate it in time both against other games and the D&D license but also especially as the pinnacle of Interplay's Infinity Engine games, and then dive into the first section of play. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary.

For decades, its legend has endured, striking fear into the hearts of Dungeons and Dragons players everywhere. The mere mention of its name has been known to drive groups of lifelong companions, once closer than siblings, to infighting, betrayal, and chaos. In the darkest corners of the experienced role-player's dice-fueled fever dreams, its presence lingers like a shroud -- the great humbler of the power gamer. For whenever a D&D party grows too boastful, too assured of their own invincibility, too confident of final victory over an entire game world or campaign setting, they will inevitably find themselves standing at the gates of the deadliest dungeon ever conceived: the Tomb of Horrors! Now, those gates open once more. Two groups of brave adventurers have arrived, both representing the respected House of Bioware, each looking to test their mettle against the most notorious suicide mission in the history of high fantasy: From the the Sword Coast region of the Forgotten Realms, aka A World Much Like This One But A World That Is Very Different, comes the Party of Baldur's Gate -- Viconia, the haughty Drow cleric; Imoen, the spell-slinging thief from Candlekeep; Edwin, the extremely evil but also exceptionally useful conjurer; and Minsc, the berserk ranger who doesn't have the stats to be a ranger, but DOES have a miniature giant space hamster named Boo, which counts for a lot. And from the maybe-not-terribly-distant-but-definitely-not-on-any-maps land of Thedas, it's the Party of Dragon Age -- Anders, the church-bombing fanatic possessed by the concept of justice; Varric, the crossbow-wielding dwarf with nimble fingers and a lying tongue; Morrigan, shapeshifting witch of the Korcari Wilds; and Iron Bull, the one-eyed Qunari berserker spy. Which party will navigate the Tomb's brutal series of traps, see through its illusions, defeat its guardians, and confront the demi-lich Acererak to claim his glittering treasure? Will Liz even be able to say "Acererak?" Will Miles ever be able to stop referencing experience tables, ability scores, and spell levels? And what happens when MeganBob is suddenly given full license to ship all eight of these characters?
