CLASS SELECTION: It's like speed dating, but with swords and spell slots... 1:28:43

9 hours ago1:28:43

1:28:43

Not sure which D&D class to start with? We break down the best (and worst) picks for new players—featuring confused Wizards, exploding Artificers, and the ever-reliable Barbarian. We ranked beginner D&D classes so you can stop Googling 'why did my Wizard die in the tutorial? #DNDClassGuide #BarbarianVsArtificer #NewPlayerDND Summary In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts explore which Dungeons & Dragons classes are best suited for new players. With humor, experience, and a healthy dose of debate, they walk through the ins and outs of each class—from the accessible Fighter to the complicated Wizard—highlighting which choices provide a smooth introduction to tabletop RPGs and which might send new players reaching for the Player’s Handbook (and aspirin). The discussion ranges from the brute-force appeal of the Barbarian to the arcane intricacies of spellcasters like the Sorcerer and Warlock. Along the way, the hosts consider how party composition, game length, and mechanical complexity should influence character selection, and they sprinkle in some banter about drink preferences to keep things lively. Whether you're a first-time adventurer or helping someone roll their first character, this episode provides a thoughtful—and often funny—guide to starting strong. Key Takeaways: General Advice for New Players: Class complexity varies dramatically and should be a key consideration for beginners. New players benefit greatly from having experienced players at the table. It’s okay to change classes as players get more comfortable with the game. Simpler classes help players stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed. Class-by-Class Breakdown: Artificer Highly versatile, but too complex for most beginners. Heavy reliance on magic items and systems mastery. Barbarian Excellent starting class due to simplicity and durability. High hit points make them forgiving for mistakes. Bard Complex with many strategic spell choices. Spell traps can confuse new players. Cleric Highly versatile with a strong role in the party. Forgiving due to the ability to change prepared spells easily. Druid Mechanically rich but overwhelming for new players. Requires understanding Wild Shape and extensive spellcasting. Fighter The most beginner-friendly class. Few pitfalls and highly customizable. Monk Fun but mechanically challenging. Not recommended for brand new players. Paladin Durable and straightforward in combat. Introduces both martial and spellcasting elements in a manageable way. Ranger Offers utility and moderate complexity. Flexible due to spell-switching mechanics. Rogue Stealthy and skillful with few mechanical traps. A solid choice for new players who want to be clever. Sorcerer Straightforward focus on damage, but can suffer from decision overload. Can be beginner-friendly if spells are chosen carefully. Warlock Simple core mechanics, but pact and spell choices can create analysis paralysis. Very dependent on the build and playstyle. Wizard One of the most complex classes due to extensive spell lists. Power spike at level 5 (Fireball) can feel rewarding. Requires patience and careful spell management. Bonus Insight: The 2024 D&D rules are referred to as “aggressively fine,” hinting at minor changes that still preserve class identity and structure. The type of campaign and its length can heavily impact how enjoyable a class feels to play. A player's drink preference might not help you pick a class—but it will make the table more fun.…

WARHAMMER 40K IMPERIUM MALEDICTUM - An Introduction: Mutants, Mayhem, and Middle Management 1:19:18

7 days ago1:19:18

1:19:18

The RPGBOT.Podcast team dives headfirst into the chaos, corruption, and cosmic bureaucracy of Warhammer: 40,000 - Imperium Maledictum —where your worst day in HR is just the beginning. Links Imperium Maledictum Core Rulebook ( affiliate link ) Starter Set ( affiliate link ) Imperium Maledictum Digitals on DriveThru ( affiliate link ) In this episode, the RPGBOT hosts take a deep dive into the dark, dystopian world of Warhammer 40,000 through the lens of its RPG adaptation, Imperium Maledictum . The conversation blends humorous banter with insightful analysis, offering listeners both entertainment and education. The hosts start with an overview of the setting’s lore, including the Emperor's role, the brutal nature of the Imperium, and the ever-present threat of Chaos. They explore the concept of Grimdark , the loss of advanced technology, and the unique role of the Eldar as twisted space elves. The discussion covers how these elements shape the game's tone and influence character creation. Further into the episode, the group breaks down the game's mechanics, including its D100 system, critical injuries, corruption and mutation, psychic powers, and the use of factions and patrons. They also touch on gameplay themes, such as horror, political intrigue, and the struggle of ordinary individuals caught in a merciless galaxy. Throughout the episode, the hosts celebrate the flexibility of Imperium Maledictum , brainstorming campaign ideas and character concepts, while emphasizing that storytelling and narrative immersion are central to the experience. Key Segments: 1. Warhammer 40K Lore Overview The Emperor’s role as a guiding force in interstellar navigation. Humanity’s decline in the face of ancient alien threats and rogue AI. The dark, magical nature of the Warp and the emergence of Chaos Gods. Eldar as corrupted, tragic analogs of fantasy elves. The Imperium as a bureaucratic and religious nightmare. 2. The Grimdark Tone “In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war” – and it shows. Every victory feels like a loss; choices often have no good outcomes. The concept of technological regression and lost knowledge. Humanity’s struggle framed as a desperate survival in an uncaring universe. 3. Game Mechanics Uses a D100 system with degrees of success for outcomes. Initiative is fixed, reducing bookkeeping during combat. Critical injuries, healing, and long-term character impact. Mutation and corruption as central elements—both physical and narrative. Psykers (psychic users) are powerful but dangerous to use. 4. Setting of Imperium Maledictum Focuses on the Mecarion Sector, conquered by Solar Mecarion. Earth (Terra) is portrayed as a decaying industrial monolith. Patrons (influential NPCs) shape missions and character growth. Factions within the Imperium provide unique gameplay hooks. 5. Themes and Campaign Ideas Encourages stories beyond combat—mystery, horror, political drama. Game supports both serious and comedic storytelling styles. Emphasis on ordinary characters in extraordinary situations. Ideas floated include office politics in a hive city and noir-style investigation Key Takeaways: Imperium Maledictum is a spiritual successor to Dark Heresy , steeped in lore and focused on immersive storytelling. The Emperor is vital not just spiritually, but also functionally, enabling warp travel. Warhammer 40K's aesthetics are intentionally excessive and impractical. The setting has shaped, and been shaped by, decades of science fiction and fantasy. Characters are vulnerable—critical injuries, mutation, and corruption are ever-present. Psykers function like wizards, with significant risks attached to their powers. Patrons and factions provide narrative depth and mission structure. Combat is strategic and punishing, but narrative drives the gameplay. The game encourages creativity in character creation, campaign themes, and tone. Scenarios can range from horror to satire, showcasing the game's flexibility.

LOW STAT CHARACTERS - Low Stats, High Drama: Roleplaying Your Character's Flaws 1:14:31

10 days ago1:14:31

1:14:31

Ever rolled a 6 and thought your character was doomed? Think again. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew dives deep into the art of playing characters with low stats—and why it might just be the best decision you ever make at the table. From bumbling barbarians to clueless clerics and grumpy rogues who can’t charm their way out of a paper bag, the hosts break down how weaknesses can drive unforgettable moments in storytelling and gameplay. We explore every major attribute—Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma—and how a “bad” roll can lead to brilliant roleplay. With examples pulled from pop culture, personal campaigns, and creative builds, this episode is a must-listen for players looking to level up their character depth. Whether you’re new to TTRPGs or a veteran looking for inspiration, this episode will challenge the way you think about dump stats—and maybe even make you hope for a low roll next time. Links 2024 Player’s Handbook ( affiliate link ) Rizz (short for Charisma) Key Takeaways: Weaknesses aren’t a flaw—they’re fuel for great storytelling. Dump stats offer unexpected roleplaying gold. Low Strength? You can still be the hero of the story. A clumsy, low-Dex character can shine with the right narrative. Constitution isn’t just about HP—it affects how you play every scene. Intelligence can drive your character’s logic, even when it’s lacking. Low Wisdom can create characters who act before they think—with wild results. Charisma isn’t about looks; it’s about how your character moves through the world. Characters are defined by their challenges, not their stat bonuses. Every attribute is an opportunity for memorable moments—good or bad. Great roleplay comes from embracing the flaws, not ignoring them. Group dynamics matter—roleplaying low stats should uplift the table, not derail it. Collaboration with the DM can turn a dump stat into a story arc centerpiece. Relatable characters often come from a mix of strengths, flaws, and humanity. Examples like Rocket and Roy Kent show that depth doesn’t require perfection.

CARCERI - Because Regular Hell Isn't Hardcore Enough 1:03:02

14 days ago1:03:02

1:03:02

What happens when the multiverse needs a place to stash its worst offenders? Enter Carcery , the D&D plane that's more sentence than setting. In this deep-dive episode, the RPGBOT crew cracks open the lore, layers, and lethal threats of Carcery—a prison plane where hope goes to die and escape is barely more than a myth. Explore the distinct environments of its six terrifying layers, from the overgrown deathtrap of the Scarlet Jungle to the soul-freezing expanse of Agathys. Discover the twisted ecosystem of beings who call this place home—whether they want to or not—including cursed creatures like the Varguile, the war-worn Shrieking Terror, and the manipulative aristocrats known as Demodans. The crew also journeys into the cursed gate town of Cursed , where fugitives rot and secrets fester. Learn about the arcane mechanics of entering (and barely escaping) this cruel dimension, and what it means for your next dark fantasy campaign. Whether you're looking to trap your players or unleash nightmares into your world, this episode is packed with insights, lore hooks, and storytelling fuel that turns Carcery into more than just a backdrop—it becomes the villain.

The structure includes six unique layers: Othrus (the “least bad”), Minethus, Colithus, Porphatys, and the frostbitten hell of Agathys. Travel is a nightmare: planetoids float independently, and the River Styx flows through them but offers no connection. Creatures within Carcery include: Varguile : cursed flying heads with grotesque powers. Demodans : cunning, cursed rulers of the plane, who avoid the Blood War and rebirth painfully if slain outside Carcery. Shrieking Terrors : monstrous weapons of war echoing the cruelty of the plane itself. Carcery connects to the multiverse but remains separate, with theoretical ties to various Prime worlds. The gate town of Cursed is a trap of its own: Slows movement and instills dread. Ruled by Shattor Demodan Villegas Bazangar . Home to bizarre residents like a green hag who manages the dump and a copper dragon in hiding. Lurks the Node , a Cranium Rat collective that trades secrets about the Lady of Pain . Escape is mythic—requiring rare spells, artifacts, or god-tier intervention. Even demons and devils avoid Carcery, a place so grim it makes the Blood War look inviting. Looking to bring a new kind of horror to your campaign? Carcery is a storytelling goldmine wrapped in despair. Whether your party’s breaking in, breaking out, or just trying to survive, this episode will leave you cursed—in the best way.

MASTERING ACTION ECONOMY - Randomly generate an NPC your players will hate... 58:14

17 days ago58:14

58:14

Are your players constantly asking, “Can I do that on my turn?” Are you tired of DMs crying over bonus actions and stunned conditions? Do you wake up at night wondering if Pathfinder 2 just does it better ? In this episode, we dive deep into the tactical jungle that is action economy in TTRPGs. From the stripped-down speed of 5E to the glorious chaos of Pathfinder 2’s three-action system, we break down what works, what doesn’t, and what might just break your game (in the best way). We cover: Why random encounters might be the most underrated tool in your GM toolbox. The real reason 5E’s action economy feels like fighting with one hand tied behind your back. How Pathfinder 2 turned “You get 3 actions” into a strategy masterclass . What the Stormlight Archive RPG is doing that’s weird... but kinda brilliant. Why status effects like stunned, slowed, and “oh no, not again” are actually game-defining. The math behind multiple attacks—and why it’s both a blessing and a curse. How to level up your online roleplay with better gear, stronger communication, and less awkward silences. This isn’t just crunch—it’s a full-blown mechanics buffet, with hot takes, cooler heads, and a few unfiltered truths about what makes combat fun (or unbearable). If you’ve ever cared about how your character moves, strikes, or just desperately tries not to die in initiative order, this episode’s for you. Tactical Takeaways from the RPGBOT.Podcast Random encounters create chaos—and legends. The action economy makes or breaks your game’s strategy. 5E’s simplicity can be limiting. Pathfinder 2 says: “Hold my initiative tracker.” Free actions are powerful. Use them like seasoning—sparingly but effectively. Multi-attack penalties exist for balance—but they still sting. Status conditions aren’t just flavor text. They’re battlefield game-changers. Pathfinder 2 isn’t just complex—it’s elegant, once you speak its crunchy language. Stormlight Archive RPG is a sleeper hit in action design. Want better online games? Start with better audio and stronger player connections.

THE ORAL HISTORY OF THE POKÉMON JR ADVENTURE GAME 49:18

21 days ago49:18

49:18

Episode Summary In this episode, the RPGBOT hosts take a deep dive into the origin, design, and legacy of the Pokémon Jr. Adventure Game —a tabletop role-playing game released at the height of the Pokémon craze. Despite achieving strong initial sales, the game was ultimately considered a failure by its creators due to issues surrounding pricing, marketing strategy, and corporate oversight. The discussion navigates through the creative process behind the game, its design for a young audience, and how it served as many players' first introduction to TTRPGs. The episode also reflects on broader topics such as missed opportunities in the tabletop space, the tension between business decisions and creative intent, and what lessons developers and publishers can learn today.

High sales numbers can mask deeper structural and strategic failures. Overestimation of demand and poor pricing strategies led to the game's early demise. Designers had little control over critical business decisions, including marketing and pricing. The game was meant to be a gateway for young players into the world of TTRPGs. Focus groups revealed that intuitive, non-text-dependent design was crucial for child audiences. Nostalgia plays a powerful role in how the game is remembered today. Internal company dynamics, including sales team competition, had real impacts on product success. Missed opportunities included additional product lines and long-term brand building. The industry must find ways to support innovation and community engagement to ensure future growth.

OTHERWORLDS 2 EPISODE RECAP - Prophecies, Giant Beasts, and One Very Suspicious Egg 1:01:18

24 days ago1:01:18

1:01:18

Show Notes: In this episode, the hosts recap our latest session of our Other Worlds actual player series. Character development? Lore? Plot twists? We’ve got ‘em. We dig into our Inventor and Summoner builds, and try to pry some plot out of Randall. We wrap with some hype for an upcoming special on the Pokémon Junior Adventure Game—yes, that’s real, and yes, we’re absurdly excited. Key Takeaways (a.k.a. What We Learned While the GM Was Panicking): Character mechanics matter... unless you’re a Summoner, in which case good luck . Monster Hunter RPGs: come for the gear, stay for the glorious chaos. James Bond can absolutely be an RPG—just add explosions and questionable ethics. Witcher 3: universally beloved. Everything else: divisive at best. Podcasting tip: prepare for the game; improvise the jokes. Summoners were OP until they weren’t. RIP, synthesis. Inventors are great—if you enjoy downtime more than combat. Foundry can either be your best friend or a confusing digital labyrinth. Class balance: not just a suggestion, it’s a survival mechanism. Long-term campaigns: where dreams and class regret both thrive. GMing under pressure = GMing while slowly melting inside. Inverting joysticks: a hill some gamers will die on. Multiverse storytelling: because one timeline just isn’t messy enough. Twin films: two movies, one brain cell. Twitch streaming: like podcasting, but now you can see the panic. Character development is the soul of RPGs—or at least the part we pretend we had planned. Lore: the thing players ignore until it’s suddenly relevant. Community interaction makes everything better, even if they heckle. Always debrief. Sometimes therapy isn’t enough.

SPELL UPCASTING - Remastered 1:02:17

27 days ago1:02:17

1:02:17

On this remastered Upcasting Spells episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast), the hosts delve into the mechanics and strategic applications of casting spells at higher levels in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (DnD 5e) and Pathfinder 2nd Edition (PF2e). Understanding upcasting is essential for spellcasters aiming to maximize their effectiveness in various scenarios. Episode Highlights: Definition and Importance of Upcasting: The hosts explain that upcasting involves casting a spell using a higher-level spell slot than its base level, enhancing its effects. This mechanic allows spellcasters to adapt their magic to meet the demands of different combat and role-playing situations. Upcasting in DnD 5e: Damage Spells: Many damage-dealing spells, such as Inflict Wounds , gain additional damage dice when upcast, making them more potent against formidable foes. Healing Spells: Spells like Cure Wounds restore more hit points when cast with higher-level slots, providing crucial support during challenging encounters. Utility Spells: Certain spells, including Hold Person , can target more creatures when upcast, offering greater control over the battlefield. Upcasting in PF2e: Flexible Spellcasting: Unlike DnD 5e, PF2e allows spontaneous casters to cast spells at higher levels without prior preparation, offering adaptability in various situations. Signature Spells: Spontaneous casters can designate specific spells as signature spells, enabling them to cast these spells at any available spell level without needing to learn multiple versions. Scaling Effects: Many spells in PF2e, such as Heal , scale effectively with higher-level casting, maintaining their relevance throughout a character's progression. Strategic Considerations: Resource Management: The hosts discuss the importance of balancing the use of higher-level spell slots for upcasting against reserving them for high-level spells, emphasizing strategic resource allocation. Spell Selection: Choosing spells that scale well with upcasting can enhance a spellcaster's versatility and effectiveness in diverse scenarios.

PF2e Rival Academies Review 1:15:37

4 weeks ago1:15:37

1:15:37

Episode Summary: In this particularly chaotic and deeply nerdy episode, the hosts embark on a magical journey through Pathfinder: Lost Omens Rival Academies , but not before getting sidetracked by their own brand of ridiculousness. The episode kicks off with an exciting announcement about an upcoming West Marches-style game, loosely inspired by Monster Hunter —because who doesn’t love a good excuse to whack giant beasts with unnecessarily large weapons? Once they finally manage to refocus, the hosts dive into the Rival Academies supplement, offering an in-depth exploration of the convocation of magical schools, the history of the World Wound (which, surprise surprise, involves wizards making bad choices), and the fascinating cultural dynamics of Golarion’s magical academia. They break down each of the six academies, ponder the mechanics of running adventures in a world of scholarly spellcasters, and try to decide whether demon hunting is a practical career choice or just a competitive college sport with higher-than-usual mortality rates. As the episode progresses, the conversation somehow takes a hard turn into discussing the Seven Deadly Sins, leading to an amusing debate about which sin best represents each host as a Rune Lord. Things escalate quickly as they delve into personal anecdotes about gluttony—both in terms of food and drink—revealing that some of them may have majored in "College Drinking Games 101." The discussion wraps up in true RPGBOT fashion: a delightful mess of nostalgia, absurdity, and the realization that teleportation magic would make them all incredibly lazy. Links: Pathfinder: Rival Academies ( affiliate link ) Pathfinder Wiki: Runelords Key Takeaways: The upcoming West Marches campaign promises flexible, player-driven adventuring and likely many, many large weapons. Lost Omens Rival Academies is essentially a magical World’s Fair, full of weird and wonderful academic rivalries. The World Wound was created by wizards summoning demons, proving yet again that wizards should probably not be left unsupervised. The convocation of magic schools is all about rebuilding lost historical knowledge, which is noble—if not also a great excuse for some high-stakes academic drama. Golarion’s magic schools provide diverse character options, making them a playground for role-playing and mechanical depth. The hosts love letting discussions flow organically, even if that means they occasionally spiral into completely unrelated nonsense. Player engagement is key to making a game world feel alive, especially in settings as rich as Pathfinder’s. The historical lore surrounding the World Wound adds a dramatic backdrop for adventures, reinforcing that bad wizard decisions have long-term consequences. Each magic school has its own unique theme and mechanical flavor, ensuring something for everyone—whether you want to be a scholarly necromancer or a wizard athlete. Rune Lords remain one of the most beloved and terrifying elements of Golarion’s lore, because nothing says “respect my authority” like wielding ancient, sin-powered magic. Demon hunting in Rival Academies is not just a grim necessity—it’s practically a competitive sport. If you’re not slaying demons for clout, are you even trying? The city at the heart of the convocation serves as an adventuring hub, making it easy to introduce characters and plotlines. Political intrigue can be seamlessly woven into magical academia, proving that wizard politics are just as cutthroat as regular politics—but with more fireballs. The thematic elements of the Rune Lords and their ties to the Seven Deadly Sins make for compelling character and villain concepts. Anathemas in magic should not be taken lightly—unless, of course, you enjoy watching your character suffer terrible consequences for breaking them. Indulging in sin can lead to some of the best role-playing moments, but portraying pride or lust effectively is harder than it sounds. The book is packed with lore-rich content, though some DMs might find it lacking in practical tools for structuring campaigns. New wizard schools introduce fresh gameplay mechanics, making it a great resource for players looking to spice up their spell-slinging. The podcast’s Question of the Week prompts some self-reflection, ultimately proving that given the choice, teleportation and summoning magic would make everyone incredibly lazy adventurers. The discussion on gluttony goes beyond overeating, touching on the nature of indulgence in all its forms—especially when it involves alcohol. Nostalgia plays a huge role in the hosts’ humorous drinking stories, as they recall their reckless college days and questionable beverage choices. Lust proves to be a particularly challenging sin to explore in role-playing, leading to some entertainingly awkward moments. Cigars and alcohol somehow make their way into the discussion, proving once again that any RPG conversation can and will derail into personal anecdotes. The episode ends in beautifully chaotic fashion, as all good RPGBOT episodes should. Final Thoughts: If you’re a fan of Pathfinder, wizard academies, or just enjoy listening to a group of nerds veer wildly off-topic before pulling everything back together at the last second, this episode is for you. Whether you’re here for deep lore discussions or just the occasional tangent about irresponsible college drinking, RPGBOT delivers yet another entertaining and insightful episode filled with laughter, lore, and just the right amount of nonsense.
