7 Tips on How to Craft Dastardly Plots in Dungeons & Dragons
mercredi 18 août 2021 • Durée 01:07:13
What is the difference between an adventurer and a soldier? The answer is simple, one seeks out to change or influence the world in some fashion. The other just takes commands and lets others decide what is best. Regardless if the PCs seek to be heroes or tyrants, they seek to be agents of change. A change they hope to steer to their desired change.
Enter plot or in other words the outline or script of the story, often a book, movie, or similar medium. Depending on the skill of the writer and forethought placed into it, maybe convoluted or it may be festooned with diversion and subplots within. In the end, there is generally an overarching “plot”.
In this episode, we deliver 7 tips to help you craft dastardly plots for your Dungeons & Dragons game.

Top 5 Questions to Ask to Make Good Rulings in Dungeons & Dragons
Saison 1 · Épisode 230
mercredi 11 août 2021 • Durée 01:06:39
Do you ever second guess a ruling in your Dungeons & Dragons? Do you want help ensuring you make the best ruling possible? If so, then check out these Top 5 Questions to Ask to Make Good Rulings in D&D.
As Dungeon Masters, we often find ourselves having to make rulings on the fly. Either because it isn’t covered in the rules, we don’t fully know all the rules, or we just don’t have a way to look up other answers. Though, let's be honest, even looking up rules really slows down the game, and interrupts the flow. Using these questions, you ensure that you always make the best ruling possible, with, or without the rulebooks. We delve into each of these giving our thoughts and sharing our experiences.
5. Does it make sense? 4. Is it fair? 3. How much does it really matter? 2. Does it radically change the story or campaign? 1. Does it add to the fun of the group?
Crit Academy interviews Zac Harrison, one of the staff of the fantastic website Obsidian Portal. Obsidian Portal was created by gamers, for gamers. it exists to help take the pain out of managing your tabletop RPG. They are an award-winning, anytime, anywhere campaign notebook that you can your players can build together. Their small but committed team works hard so that you can focus on the fun and creative aspects of your gaming experience and less time on bookkeeping.
"We love playing RPGs because they offer an escape from the mundane. One of the biggest components of our enjoyment is getting the chance to encounter and interact with incredible creatures. Learning about what makes a creature tick--whether we're engaged in combat with it or negotiating a price for goods--stimulates our brains and keeps us interested in the game and the world we create through our story-telling."
Crit Academy is joined by author Alan Tucker to talk about his popular Incredible Creatures book. A monster book with over 130 monsters to use in your 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Many even include a new conditional feature labeled "heroic".
The artwork contains inside is amazing. Alan took a very cool approach to this book. Artists were given the freedom to draw whatever they wanted, and then professional writers had to create stat blocks for the monsters. Check it out here!
The fantastic Youtuber and Dungeons and Dragons content creator Zipperon Disney joins us to talk Galder's Gazetteer! This is a close personal project of his and we are excited to have him on to share details on the project's journey and contents.
Galder's Gazetteer is a 5e supplement for advanced players & GMs that expands the game by adding new actions, conditions, and martial options. Integrated with the expanded rules there are a host of new player options, a GM toolkit, and two one-shot adventures in this 192 pg full-color book.
The wizard Galder has traveled to many, many worlds. Along his journeys, he has taken notes on the mysterious and fantastic things he's encountered.
A while back, a young guy named Laurence made a post on online. Laurence shared that he had a rare form of cancer and only had weeks to live. He wanted something to be remembered by and asked if there was any way his character could be added to the game’s lore.
With kindness, a whole group of the community got together and, while they couldn’t make it “official”, they said they would be honored to include his character as an NPC in their home games, to exist in their worlds. To keep living in their stories.
But this book goes a step further. Galder’s Gazetteer describes his journeys through all those worlds. This expansion to 5e is framed as Galder’s notes on how things are done differently across the multiverse including:
Expanded actions, conditions, and martial options
3 new Classes, 8 variant classes, and 35 archetypes
If you don't know, Dungeons of Drakkenheim follows the conflict and comedy-filled adventures of a brash prince, a streetwise survivor, and a meddlesome mage as they confront monsters and mystery in the meteor-blasted ruins of a fantasy city.
A Dungeons & Dragons 5e actual play campaign presented by the DUNGEON DUDES! Featuring Monty Martin, Kelly McLaughlin, Jill Danaitis, and Joe O'Gorman.
We're excited to have Kelly and Monty on to tell us a bit about themselves and their projects. Their most memorable D&D moments. The best piece of gaming advice they've ever received. Their process on building the world of Drakkenheim and so much more.
