The Evil Dungeon Master Universe

In this episode today, I ponder the question of a DM giving players advice during combat, warnings during play and if those players should listen to the DM. I also go over if a DM should give "bad or evil" advice to players and is that fair of him to do that?

On today's podcast I decided to take a look at another spell, starting with its AD&D 1e roots, and see how its evolved since then. The Armor spell in AD&D is often misused in my opinion and I wanted to clear up how it works exactly and then we take a look at Mage Armor, which is what the spell morphed into and compare it with 3e and 5e vs 1e. Which is superior, which works better? Tune in and find out!

In this episode I shine the spotlight on an often-overlooked spell called, Goodberry. Join me as I look at it from AD&D, and how its evolved through out the editions of D&D. Its a very versatile spell and it should be in every Druid's list of spells.

Today's episode was an episode that was recorded back in 2015 for RFI's Patrons at the time, it was supposed to be a "Schick" like podcast, with two DM's airing out their problems with players using firearms in the campaign. The Patrons loved it, who knows if you will, but remember we are being over the top for entertainment value. Enjoy!
