Summary: This week’s new episodes.
Show Recaps
Here are summaries of new episodes from Misdirected Mark Productions this past week:
Mastering Dungeons – Fifth Edition Revisited, Pt. 12
Moving through the Unearthed Arcana that is One D&D, Shawn and Teos talk about the future of Feats, while it occurs to the editor that he has twice made the joke around ‘Feats, don’t fail me now’ in these write-ups. So instead of more hacky humor, you’ll just learn that the future of Feats extends beyond the 20th-level threshold, so you’ll have plenty of room to shoehorn those Feats in!
THAC0 with Advantage. One D&D: Expert Classes, Part One
Today we’re going to start looking at the latest One D&D Playtest Unearthed Arcana, for Expert Classes. We’re not going to be done with this in one episode, so today, we’ll start with the updates to the Rules Glossary and feats, and in a later show, we’ll start looking at the classes.
Misdirected Mark #491 – Ready to Play Characters
Characters. They’re the focal point of stories. They have a lot of time and attention paid to them in every other medium of storytelling, even before any scripting, writing, or acting in front cameras begins. But as it often happens in TTRPGs, players come to the table not knowing who their characters are. Their wants, needs, internal conflicts, and personalities are mysteries that take half a dozen sessions to emerge.
We decided that it shouldn’t take a month and a half of game sessions to know who your character is. There’s a methodology to discover who the character is before session one starts. This episode gives you a way to get there. Use as much or as little of it as you want. I promise it’ll help.
