98. Anime Pt 1 w João Junqueira

Oct 15 2024 47 mins

In this episode John and I talk about anime and how it has influenced various D&D characters we have played. If you don't like anime this might not be the episode for you. We are also going to follow it up with a part 2, which could be good or bad news for you. Oh well! I won't use my airpods for the next episode because apparently they suck for audio. Be on the look out for so

97. Hot Neil

Jul 29 2024 87 mins

This episode we are joined by DMA legend and super fan Hot Neil to talk about contractual obligations in your campaign, improvising vs planning, and Superbad-esque campaigns before we play our favourite game, XCOM 2. Oh, and thanks Newsly.

96. In the Dark w Mike

Jul 09 2024 61 mins

This week (month? year?) Mike and I talk in the dark. This episode was recorded back in March so I have no idea what we talk about, so this description won't be very helpful. Looks like you guys are in the dark too. Also shoutout newsly.

95. Baldur's Gate 3/ Our Sponsor w Mike

Mar 04 2024 60 mins

We talk about Baldur's Gate. But more importantly we talk about our lovely sponsor Newsly, which has done quite the pivot since we last checked in with them. Listen along as we discover the deep depths of the crypto world via Newsly. There's no point in posting the code to get Newsly premium because they no longer provide that service.

94. Party vs Party Campaign w Mike

Nov 01 2023 79 mins

Happy 3 years to DMA! In this episode Mike and I talk about what it would be like to run a campaign with a good party and an evil party. Though it may seem a bit complicated, we talk about the ways that it could be successfully pulled off. Look forward to updates as we test this theory. We also take a crack at some D&D 20 questions because why not? As well, thank you to this we

93. Fishin' Fixation w Lexy and Mike

Sep 12 2023 56 mins

In this episode Lexy, Mike, and I give some life updates, talk about the campaign we're all involved in, and dive into the importance of NPCs. Should they travel with the party, should they strictly be helpful, or can they bully your players around a bit? We also do a new take on fiction fixation where Lexy and I talk about our new fish Caesar and the wonderful home we've b

92. At the Eleventh Hour w Neil and Mike

Aug 14 2023 55 mins

Having Neil back on the show was bitter-sweet; on one hand it was amazing to have him back and feed off the energy he brings, however, we only had an hour to record this episode before we had to leave for trivia. So while we would have loved to keep going, we present to you the most rushed podcast to date. In this hectic hour we catch up with our old friend alongside part-time co-

91. Lexy's First Campaign

Jul 17 2023 43 mins

In this episode we bring Lexy in to talk about the idea I've landed on for her first long-term campaign. After scrapping the idea from last episode I hit the drawing board again and landed on something that should be intriguing to both our new and experienced players. Lexy briefly describes what she's thinking about for her character before we do a Fiction Fixation in the s

90. Can't Keep Going Back to the Well w Mike

Jun 27 2023 86 mins

Some of the best advice for a new DM is to run what you know, whether it's sci-fi, high fantasy, or even eldritch horror. However, doing the same thing over and over can get repetitive. With a new campaign on the horizon, we sit down with Mike to talk about the creative struggles that come with world-building. We also talk about Demon Slayer, Blink-182, and Two and a Half Men.

89. Moving w Mike Cook

Jun 13 2023 72 mins

In this episode Mike and I talk all things moving, both D&D related and not. Listen as we talk about Mike's recent move from an apartment to a house and how it has affected our personal life and our D&D life. New table, new seating arrangement, new commutes... all factors that contribute to the D&D experience in interesting ways. We also decided to play some more 20 Questions, so l
