Homebrewed Downtime D & D Activities
Sunday Mar 09, 2025
Sunday Mar 09, 2025
Hey Folks, we have an Etsy shop now check it out TheDragonsHoard25
On this episode of Dragons and Dice, I go ever fun, homebrewed mini games and skill challenges unique to each of the DnD classes for your home game. With the new crafting rules in the 2024 Players Hand Book (PHB) I think that games will be adding in more and more down time to let the players have the ability to make all the awesome stuff they can craft now, and what better place than in the town to add in some good ol’ homebrew. Any thing that gets those murder hobos doing more role play in Dungeons and Dragons is always a win in my book and these add ons are great for that. Enjoy!

D & D Book Character Build: Kaladin Stormblessesd
Tuesday Feb 25, 2025
Tuesday Feb 25, 2025
Starting something new! Each month on Dragons and Dice I am going to build my version of a book/movie character 1-20 as if they were a Dungeons and Dragons character. For the first one I am doing my favorite, Kaladin Stormblessed from The Storm Light Archives. My theory on these builds is not going to be for optimization but to try to capture the feel and abilities of each character in a DnD setting. I am going to supplement some abilities with magic items but I am going to stick to the 3 attuned items and this episode has a particularly strong homebrewed item of the week to finish off that awesome Knight Radiant feel. I hope you all enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed making it. And if anyone has a character they would like to see me build out shoot me an email. I would love to make your favorite fantasy, sci-fi, or movie character into a D & D Pc

Monday Feb 17, 2025
Monday Feb 17, 2025
In this episode of Dragons and Dice I go over some tricksy Dungeon and Dragons monsters for the DM’s to throw at their party. But just to be fair to all the D & D players out there I give out counters to each as I go. (Can’t be too partial to the DM’s ;-). If you are looking for creative ways to get those awesome surprise rounds against your group of adventurers, or you are tired of the Dm pulling the wool over your eyes this is the episode for you.

D & D Monster Manual & VTT
Monday Feb 10, 2025
Monday Feb 10, 2025
The monster manual is out if you have the master subscription of DnD Beyond and I am so stoked about it. On this episode of Dragons and Dice I will give a broad stroke overview of how I feel about the new stat blocks and ease of use of the last of the core Dungeons and Dragons books. Spoiler I love it. I also drop my 2 cents on how much I am enjoying running the 2024 material on the D & D Beyond VTT(virtual table top). Also, as an added bonus, there is even a Ric Flare Reference in this weeks home-brewed item of the week.

Keeping the Role Play Rolling in DnD
Monday Feb 03, 2025
Monday Feb 03, 2025
In this episode of Dragons and Dice I go over ways to keep the role play happening when your D&D group is out in the wilderness or deep dungeon crawling. Some times I worry that the role play aspect gets left out of Dungeons and Dragons games and in this episode I go over three ways to have fun interactions with your party even when there isn’t a civilization in sight. You also will get to meet DIsdane Dun Dittiest as he tells you all about the home brewed item of the week. I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
