3-in-1 Shots is the game where the DM knows nothing and the player has all the information. Michael had to devise and run D&D adventure for Dan with only 3 pieces of information: Character, NPC, and setting. And what he came up with is nothing less than the most thrilling Rig-Racing Event in the last 5 years!

Homebrew Hot Takes! Dan and Michael heat things up with their opinions on the game of D&D, and then the famous TikTok prompt makes its way onto the CoC worktables as your hosts craft a host of Fighter's Blocks! Dan chooses to play with definitions while Michael goes for cheeky wordplay.

Justin from So You Wanna Be A DM came up with a real stumper of a prompt this week! Dan and Michael talk about the benefits and challenges of homebrew worlds and settings and then reveal their creations: Items that scale along with a character's level progression! Michael once again adapts a real-world concept into a set of tiered items, and Dan takes inspiration from magical tattoos and adds a high risk, high reward mechanic. Enjoy!
