Wizards' Council Podcast

The lights wink out and the tavern closes, signaling the time for the council to adjourn for now. Abe, John, and Matt gather their spellbooks and pay their tab as the council closes out this campaign and bids those who sat in and listened goodbye for now. New lessons to learn and stories to be had. For those who’ve listened to this little podcast we thank you and with this, our goodbye session.   If you have any questions please reach out to us via e-mail at [email protected] or through Twitter at @WizardsPod.   Intro and Outro music by: David Fesliyan Artwork by: Gilbert Neri

Hello you beautiful listeners,   Our normally scheduled episode is delayed for another two weeks. We are crafting up something very special for you guys but as all good wizards know sometimes these rituals are finicky. We are very excited to share it with you guys but need just a little more time to get it right. So until next time, please practice safe casting! If you have any questions please reach out to us via e-mail at [email protected] or through Twitter at @WizardsPod.   Intro and Outro music by: David Fesliyan Artwork by: Gilbert Neri  

MUAHAHAHAHA! A great campaign can be made even greater with the use of great villains and oppositions to the players at the table, be it the evil lich bent on godhood or even the holy knights of the kingdom. Great villains are what push our characters and the best ones are the ones we love to hate for doing so. So, sit down, grab a drink, and let's talk about villains!   If you have any questions please reach out to us via e-mail at [email protected] or through Twitter at @WizardsPod.   Intro and Outro music by: David Fesliyan Artwork by: Gilbert Neri

Ahhh the sweet death knell of the BBEG going back to hell. Abe and John sit down with Niko, the @broke_dm, to discuss the campaign, The Tomb of Annihilation. This episode is filled with spoilers so if you are currently playing said campaign, we strongly suggest for the sake of your own fun, not to listen in as we’ll be talking about our path through the adventure and the ending. If you are playing it, come back and give us a listen afterwards and join those who have also played through it and compare our run to yours, what made your run different from our’s? So pull up a chair and let’s compare notes!   If you have any questions please reach out to us via e-mail at [email protected] or through Twitter at @WizardsPod.   Intro and Outro music by: David Fesliyan Artwork by: Gilbert Neri

DMing is hard work and sometimes despite our best efforts we don’t see the quality of our work the same way as our players do, no matter how much they say it was fun or amazing, we just can’t see it ourselves. In today’s session we wanted to talk about something akin to imposter syndrome for DM’s. What we ourselves feel and the suggestions we have to often remind ourselves to overcome it.   If you have any questions please reach out to us via e-mail at [email protected] or through Twitter at @WizardsPod.   Intro and Outro music by: David Fesliyan Artwork by: Gilbert Neri

Let’s face it whether we are humans or liches we sometimes get in our own way. Today in our session the council sits down to discuss some common pitfalls they’ve experienced themselves or witnessed in other players that made it hard for them or the player to roleplay at the table. So hopefully as you sit in and listen you can hear some things that you’ve seen other players do or maybe even yourself and hopefully the suggestions help you out. So grab a drink, kick your feet up and chill with us a bit.   Intro and Outro music by: David Fesliyan Artwork by: Gilbert Neri

Hmm, John has abandoned you to Matt and Abe. We are sorry for what you are about to go through.   But really, this session we are going to talk about some gripes Abe has with some players nowadays, for better or for worse. So come along on this journey and enjoy our hot takes.

The Council is taking a brief respite while our new clone bodies are formed, we may have over fed during the holidays. We hope you all had a happy holiday season.   Artwork by: Gilbert Neri

Today on WCP we talk Roleplaying. From helpful and useful tips, such as making use of those backgrounds you select when creating a D&D character to general table roleplaying etiquette. When to step into the spotlight and when to point the spotlight on your fellow players. So sit down, grab a beverage, and maybe a notepad as the boys talk Roleplaying!   If you have any questions please reach out to us via e-mail at [email protected] or through Twitter at @WizardsPod.   Intro and Outro music by: David Fesliyan Artwork by: Gilbert Neri
