We Like D&D

In this episode, we’re chatting about some exciting stuff! We share some show & tell items that include a tiny little TTRPG zine you can learn in 1 minute, and homebrew wild magic subclasses for EVERY class! We also go through all of the previews for the new World of Warcraft subclasses for WotC’s new Universes Beyond for D&D, to decide whether or not the book will be worth buying. And finally, we take a fun quiz that reveal our IRL D&D stats. Will we score above commoner stats?

In this episode, we’re travelling back in time to October 2025 for a previously unreleased-on-the-main-feed episode, just in time for Halloween. We build a roll table of haunted house traps to use in case you’re planning a Halloween one shot with your part, put Kelly and Alec’s D&D knowledge to the test with a round of trivia, and play a game of 2 DMs 1 Player that takes place at a costume party!

We’ll be back to regular programming with a new episode in November!

In this episode, we’re getting into Spooky Season mode! We share a TTRPG to play with real candles that get blown out to progress the story, and a werewolf-themed homebrew druid subclass. Then we put 8 spooky one shots through a playoff bracket, to determine which one would be the best to play at a Halloween session. And finally, we take a quiz to see which D&D classes we’d be IRL…

We will be away, so the second October episode will be an episode that was previously only released on Patreon: we make a roll table of haunted house traps, and play a game of 2 DMs 1 Player at a costume party!

In this episode, we share our second show & tell items including a pumpkin spice-themed cozy RPG, a solo journalling game based on tarot cards, and thoughts & opinions on the D&D Heroes of the Borderlands starter set. We also play a round of Fantasy Fantasy Draft that involves Kelly doing a sexy dance, 2 of Laurenne’s crushes being drafted, and Alec being the voice of reason. And as (almost) always, we end with a game of 2 DMs 1 Player that includes an above-average amount of nipple-touching and a centaur that won’t descend a flight of stairs.

Pumpkin Spice - https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/acheron-games/pumpkin-spice-a-magically-cozy-rpg

In this episode, we share our first Show & Tell items of the month, that include a homebrew Paladin subclass inspired by Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey”, a “The Bear”-inspired TTRPG played in real time to mimic the stress of working in a kitchen, and a solo RPG that allows you to create playlists as a radio show host – and you might even get to hear your playlist on the game creator’s real radio show! We also start to build out our cozy campaign characters (that might both be artificers?), and end the episode with a very silly round of 2 DMs 1 Player. Is this the best character Kelly’s ever come up with? And will we ever see him again? Only time will squirt… I mean, tell.

If you have any word suggestions for 2 DMs 1 Player, or scenario suggestions for future rounds of Fantasy Fantasy Draft, please feel free to drop them in the comments!

In this episode, we share our final Show & Tell items of the month: an adventure that Kelly believes to be the best low-level adventure for new players, a compendium of rat monsters, and a solo journalling TTRPG where you can go on a date with a gelatinous cube. We also play a game of Fantasy Fantasy Draft, with a listener submitted prompt: prepping and running a TTRPG. Finally, we cap this episode off with a round of 2 DMs 1 Player where Alec tries to find an outfit for a rat who may or may not be his friend (we’re still unsure).

In this episode, Kelly tries REALLY hard to get Sly Flourish on the show with his show & tell item (which might be Sly-related). We also share a one-page game that encourages you to get outside, and the world’s teeniest-tiniest TTRPG inspired by The Borrowers. Then we spend some time planning out a cozy adventure setting for our next actual play, including the location, some NPCs, and some town traditions. Finally, we wrap things up with a game of 2 DMs 1 Player where Kelly gets to play an unemployed raccoon wearing a fedora, a belt, and nothing else.

The Rise of the Lazy Game Master - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slyflourish/rise-of-the-lazy-game-master

In this episode, we share our final Show & Tell items of the month: Unearthed Arcana rules for introducing sidekicks in 5e, a free TTRPG one shot where you play as penguins attempting a heist, and a 5e tier one adventure where you have to uncover the criminal conspiracy behind a drug called Goblin Bathwater. We also share some things we’ve been enjoying in our non-D&D lives (if you can believe it!), and finish off the episode by creating some c-c-cool combos, including interesting multi-class options to maximize your Thunder damage and a one-two punch of spells that might make your DM put their head in their hands and sigh heavily.

In our very first VIDEO episode, we share our show & tell items: a homebrew druid circle that lets you become an Ent, a book of magical rules and regulations, and a TTRPG where you use your rock collection to make a solar system. We also play a round of Fantasy Fantasy Draft, recruiting people and spells that will help us win a World Cup match, and a silly little game of 2 DMs 1 Player where there may or may not be a sub-basement full of rats.

In our final episode of the month, we share our second show & tell items, including a way to generate menu items at taverns in different parts of your fantasy world (with a roll table of boons & banes), an adventure you can run if you accidentally TPK all of your players, and a guide for running sports in D&D. Then we play a round of Fantasy Fantasy Draft, selecting celebrity teammates, spells, and magical items that will help us complete a classic fantasy task: doing taxes. Thanks to Ike for the scenario suggestion! If you have a suggestion for our next Fantasy Fantasy Draft game, leave it in the comments for us!

In this special episode, we bring our Pop Culture Character Builds to life in a one shot inspired by the Wizard of Oz! Can the crew stay on the rails and get to all of Kelly’s encounters, like a naked man and an unhelpful mayor that sounds suspiciously like Gollum? Also in this episode: Kelly tries very hard to avoid copyright infringement, Alec tries out an Alan Rickman impression and Laurenne tries to remember to use Hunter’s Mark.

In this episode, we build some characters inspired by The Wizard of Oz (that we plan to play in our Wizard of Oz-themed actual play episode next week!). We also answer a listener question about ways to run mass combat for a final campaign battle, and discuss the pros and cons of cinematic vs mechanical combats (and what might work better for your table). If you’ve got questions, we want to hear them! Feel free to leave a comment for us, and we’ll do our best to answer them! You’re also welcome to leave suggestions for 2 DM 1 Player words, Fantasy Fantasy Draft scenarios, or Pop Culture builds! We love integrating your ideas into the show!

Guess who’s back… back again? Alec’s back, tell a friend! The trio is together once more, and we discuss some show & tell items we’ve been eager to share with each other, including a listener-made Owl Bear Rodeo plugin, a Curse of Strahd module that changes the history of Barovia, and a hobbit-inspired game where you don’t go on any adventures at all. And 2 DMs 1 Player is ALSO back, with a round in which both Kelly and Alec yell at Laurenne, who’s just trying to buy a new sword!

In this episode (the last of Married Couple May), we go through the history of combat actions through different versions of D&D to see how much they’ve changed. But don’t fall asleep in class yet, because we’re also building a 1d6 roll table of juicy rumours your players might hear in town… and I heard it’s a good one! We also heard Alec is back next week… stay tuned to find out if he’s been listening to the pod while he’s been away!

We’ve gone fully off the rails without Alec. In this episode we share 2 more show & tell items, including a homebrewed Ranger subclass inspired by a character from Baldur’s Gate, and a sneaky BUT LEGAL way to get part of a MCDM resource for free! And then we play a game of Unhinged Shopping Spree, where we look through the D&D Shop Catalogue and try to put together shopping list combinations that would make a DM go “…huh.” If you want to play along at home, you can find the 5e D&D Shop Catalogue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/m8w8c6/updated_more_inclusive_5e_dd_shops_catalog_v201/

In this episode, we deep dive into Kelly’s villain origin story, starting with his Lord of the Rings-themed 12th birthday party. We also build characters inspired by Indiana Jones, and try to guess the prices of D&D collabs and the 1977 box set (Spoiler: we’re very bad at it).

Alec is away this month, so in this first episode of our “Married Couple May” series, Kelly and Laurenne put the strength of their marriage to the test and compete head to head in a fantasy hot dog eating competition. We also share some show & tell items, including a 60-room haunted house dungeon, and a resource for every d100 roll table you could ever want (probably?).

This House Hungers - https://soup-based-life-form.itch.io/this-house-hungers?ac=CyExGeihVvG

In this episode, we finally share our second show and tell items, including a resource for unique roll tables, a tool for mapping out point crawls, and a TTRPG where you play lovers trying to uncover the secrets behind a mysterious artifact. We also play a very normal and fantasy-themed game of 2 DMs 1 Player that takes place at a wizards guild and nothing out of the ordinary happens at all.

We played Nimble for the very first time, and we wanna talk about it! In this episode, we delve into our experience playing the free quick start adventure for this system, including character creation with all the fun classes and playable races, combat, and what it was like for Kelly to run it for us with minimal prep.

https://nimblerpg.com/pages/start

We're playing the Nimble starter adventure! Mugwort and Damian get roped into saving Moonblossom, the fairy of Merrivale. Mugwort the cute Bunbun experiments with dark shadow magic, and Damian, the Ratfolk boy, tries to pick up everyone he meets.
