Keepers Of The Monster Guild

Keepers Of The Monster Guild

KMG is a podcast that delves into the lore behind classic TTRPG monsters. Kole and Matcha have been playing TTRPGS for years and want to help others learn how to better use these creatures in their own games. We are 2 ADHD riddled nerds who love learning and sharing new information. So come join us as we talk about all that goes bump in the night as we struggle to stay on topic for an hour and ask each other previously unthought of questions like "Where would you take a lich on a date?" Each episode we cover one new monster and look into its real life and in universe lore surrounding it.
