Web DM Podcast 228 - Make Elves Great Again
Added 2022-02-04 16:38:17 +0000 UTCHello DMNs! We've got a fun one for ya, complete with an imagination fuel patron question, a saucy patron question, and a topic we're excited to bring you: how to Make Elves Great Again (MEGA....lol)
We've spoken recently about Emma's (and Jim's too a bit) coolness on elves because they've lost so much of the weirdness of elf folklore, so we've decided to turn that around into how to play with the concept of elves in ways that makes them great. Also Emma says fuck a lot. So be warned.
2:37 - TaxiPhish: What advice do you have for designing “alien monsters” or non-magic monsters? I’m running a sci-fi western campaign and want plenty of memorable fauna to populate the frontier, but still want my encounters to be memorable and feel fantastic while maintaining an air of biological truth.
11:50 - Joe: I would like you guys at some point to really engage with the problematic parts of D&D and TTRPGs. Sometimes I'll hear you say something like, orcs have never been an across the board evil race at our table. To me that is sort of half an explanation. It tells me that you guys identify and reject the worst parts of the hobby, but what does it mean that they're there in the first place?
31:36 - ELVEEEEEEES.
