Hearty Dice Friends

Please, Bad Dragon! We already talk about fantastical dinguses all the time - give us money to do it! We promise we'll be respectful, endorseful and fully supportive of the cavalcade of ludicrous johnsons that you send our way. Also in this episode: - What monsters are better without working legs? What monsters are better with too many legs? - What class are you, in a D&D way, not in a social strata way? - Riddles, and how they can do one - Owlbear birthdays And many more. We love you, listener, but most of all we love the wide array of cryptozoological willies that Bad Dragon makes. Please give us money, Bad Dragon. We promise you'll barely regret it, - G

Chris and I wanted to show you how we design games, so we recorded it. It went okay! It went especially well if you like listening to us: - Design games about rubbish fantasy creatures live in front of you - Chat about trash magic and ludonecromancy - Discuss the merits of Scooby Doo and late 90's British erotica - Write in pencil on the same table as the microphone, and thus go off on an extended and upsetting bit about Japanese ASMR So it's basically like a normal episode, except we don't answer any of your questions. And if it goes down well we might do it again as a semi-regular thing. We love you, - Grant and Chris, RPGeniuses

Due to unavoidable real life events we don't have a podcast for you this week, so please accept this apology. We will be back next week, with more hunky monsters and bizarre advice. - Chris & Grant

We're a little fragile after a "business meeting" the night before, but we bring the noise (by which we mean: nice words) to you, our beautiful listeners, in this non-Halloween-themed episode. THIS WEEK: - What's the deal with beholders? - Where shouldn't owlbears be? - Should bards be allowed? - What if the more powerful a magic item was, the bigger and heavier it was? And many more. We love you. Come away with us on a boat. You won't regret it. Don't look to the shore: there's nothing more for you there. You belong with us on the ocean waves now. Eat this fish. Yours, - Grant and Chris

WooOOOOOoooOOO! It's the second part of a spoooOOOooky two-parter, in which the whiskey really starts to get to Chris and Grant and they become... candid. Well, Grant becomes candid. Chris is a model of restraint and decorum, as always. In this episode: - Sexy owlbears (again) - Body-swapping - A pint of bitter for THE CUBE - Copyright infringement, right off the bat - What's the sexiest roleplaying game? - What's the least sexy roleplaying game? - A valiant but failed attempt a frank and earnest discussion of our sexuality And many more!

Lock your doors and bar your windows, because we're celebrating Halloween - the spookiest month - with a pair of SPOOKY, SCAAAAARY podcasts devoted to horror gaming! This week's topics include: - Skellingtons or Zombies? - What's the best kind of ghost? - Lich or Vampire? - Where wolves? - Ghouls? - A zombie movie, but with skeletons instead of zombies? And many more. We love you, dear listener. - G

Well slap me silly, if it isn't ya boys Chris and Grant back once again with pocketfuls of piping hot advice. Why did we put it in our pockets, if it was hot? We'll never know. We don't think things through before we do them, as this podcast makes increasingly evident. In this episode: - How long should a session be? - How long should a campaign be? - How long can we make up new level 1 monsters for before we give up and just start talking about goblins again? - How long can you distract players while you work out what happens next? - How long can Grant maintain a positive public persona without the weight of Being Thirty crashing down on him like an old sack of bricks? All these questions and fewer will be answered in this, the most thirty-fourth episode of HDF yet. Much love, - Chris and Grant

What three celebrity chefs would you play Dungeons & Dragons with? It's a question that's plagued mankind since we first discovered celebrity chefs and Dungeons & Dragons - and we answer it today. Also: what animal would should you have as a mount? Is high fantasy espionage possible? What monster cooks and/or makes the best kebab? All in this episode. Much love, - Grant and the C-Monster

Another month, another lecture. Grant is so ill. Grant is too ill to cut the podcast together. Chris has very kindly done so. This lecture covers unusual food and drink, such as: - Flowers! - Grey meat! - Strangled fox! - Pies! - Others! We love you. Pray for Grant. - Professors G Howitt and C Taylor

We talk a lot about sitcoms in this one. If you don't like sitcoms, you won't like this! Much love, - G-Force and C-Legs

We can't get together to record a show this week, so instead we're delivering PACMAN: A Tragedy in Three Acts, a short radio play that we recorded earlier this year. Patrons: don't worry, we won't be charging you for this one. Hopefully we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming soon. Much love, - G-Force and C-Change

In this week's episode: - A new intro! - Playground games - Time paradoxes - New vs Old, RE players - Props, and how to use them - And many more! This is episode 31, which is the only episode I'll get to record which is the same number as my age. I hope you appreciate that. Time comes for us all, unceasing, and all we can do until it does is try to distract ourselves. Much love, - G-Whizz (also C-Dog)

Chris went to a wedding the day before we recorded this podcast and drank roughly a pint of gin, but luckily he was still kind of drunk during. So it all balances out. Coming up: - Courage stat? - Hitman names? - Session 0? - High Fantasy Sports? - Pissing about? - Skill checks? - Betrayals? And many more! Much love, - G-Force and C-Burial

Coming up this week: - German dwarfs - Kobolds, again - Big stupid dragons - Sleep debt - A brief moment of earnest affection between Grant and Chris, which is quickly laughed off And many more. We love you so, so much. Have you had a haircut? You look great. - G-rilla and the C-Horse

I think this is the most legit RPG advice we've given in an episode. We barely talk about dinguses at all. I'm very sorry. Much love, - Grant and Chris

This episode was recorded in front of a live studio audience, and largely unedited, so apologies in advance. We hope you still like the jokes. Much love to you all, - G-Dog and C-Money
