This week we are talking about making your table more accessible for players with disabilities.  As a disclaimer, none of us are disabled, so we have no real knowledge of what it is like.  What we do know is, D&D is a game for EVERYONE, and we as a community should see that EVERYONE is able to enjoy the game.

 

This is the talking point for the episode.

The Underdark has captured the minds of gamers since the early days of the hobby, it’s almost a rite of passage for DMs and players alike.  Every gamer’s bucket list has slaying a dragon, taking a ride on a Spelljammer, and journeying to the Underdark.  But how do you do the setting justice?  How do you make it memorable?

 

These are the talking points:

  • It’s always dark
  • There’s nothing green in the Underdark

“We talked about some of the elements of Dark Fantasy, now let’s talk about one of our favorite ways to play Dark Fantasy adventures.  We’re going beyond what many may think of as an Anti-Hero.  We love playing the monsters!”

  • YOUR PCS ARE THE MONSTERS, VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, AND ZOMBIES EVEN.  BUT, THEY HAVEN’T LOST ALL OF THEIR HUMANITY.

FIND YOUR FANTASY: DARK FANTASY.:

“Dark fantasy is cool.  It’s fun to visit a Dark Fantasy setting, especially around Halloween.  Our gaming group tries to do something like this every year in October.  Whether it’s your Homebrew setting, a one-shot for Halloween, or a visit to Strahd’s Barovia, Dark Fantasy can be a frightening, yet enjoyable adventure.”

“Urban adventures can be really fun.  Our group had a good time running and playing an all-urban campaign.  A city can just be a city, or, it can be an entire campaign setting within the confines of city walls.”

Having parted the veil and completed their journey on the ghost ship, the party finds themselves to still be in the Wylderynn, but where and maybe when is the question. The party faces a treacherous climb, spiders, even the big ones, get embarrassed and Mo’Qui has a “dingle fairy”.

“There are a bunch of things to consider when you begin planning an underwater campaign.  Much of it will be the same as any other campaign, you’ll need enemies, a big bad, and a riveting storyline, but there’s much more to consider.”
