Web DM Podcast 249 - Monster Mythology
Added 2022-07-15 13:53:09 +0000 UTCHello DMNs! We've got a podcast for you from early in the week at night because I (Emma) was getting sick and knew our time was limited. And lo, my divinations were true! As nighttime podcasts often tend to be, it's a little more rambly and contains more adult language than usual, so keep that in mind when listening around others!
We wanted to talk about infusing your monsters with more mythology - it can't be just us who notices that there's kind of a dearth of folklore surrounding the bevvy of monsters in D&D settings, and that just seems silly. So we're talking a bit about mythology and folklore and how you might apply it to your folklore.
Time stamps:
9:15 - Tijmen: I have recently given a character immunity to their own spells (and of those cast by any version of themselves throughout the multiverse). This means that the character could fireball themselves and be unaffected but also that they can't magically heal themselves. How would you folks, as a PC, go bonkers with it?
12:52 - Thomas: What game mechanics or lack thereof irritate you as a player and/or DM? Example: why can’t we have another unarmored defense that involves con like the loxodon?
28:00 - Monster Mythology Inspiration Discussion!
