Hello and welcome to Dungeon Talk, the General Advice and Discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 34: A Podcast 3-Way  Caleb and I recorded a version of this podcast a few weeks ago but when I got around to editing it, the sound was horrible.  We decided, rather than just have me over-edit it, and try to make it work, we would just re-record it. Then, we worked it out so Porter (@Rzrstrm) was able to join us so we didn't just rehash the same conversation.

This is the first part of a longer session, Episode 35 will be out next week with the rest of our 3-way conversation.In this Episode we start off by talking about Inspiration. Where can you cull ideas for encounters, games, adventures or whole campaigns.

We then move on to a session of Synergy where Caleb and I run through a pack of MTG Core 2014 cards and each come up with a campaign idea from those cards. Porter didn't get the cards early enough to come up with his own but at the end he throws out a little something-something on the fly.

Here are the cards we used and I'm including my initial thoughts from each card to compare to what I thought and how I ended up using them. We'd love it if you would send us the campaign idea you would have come up with using those same cards.

We take a divergent tangent off of Synergy and talk a little about Social Combat or Skill challenges from DnD 4e.Next we discuss starting levels for new games / Campaigns and I take another Tangent to discuss the game i've always wanted to run. This sparks Porter to talk about a setting he read about of the Aftermath of the Ragnarok.

A secret has been stolenSomething crashes or has crashed (maybe the location of that thing is what was divined?)



A monster to overcome or the pet of an NPC?Winged horse, or magical ability to fly?

(I didn't end up using this at all)



A temporary animal companion. Something fights for the PC's



A curse is causing people to lose their senses (touch, taste, hear, etc .)The big bad guy is a traitor



The death of an NPC brings something to lightA cursed magic item causes magic users spells to fizzle - have to get it removed



The curse is tied to a Vampire Lord?A hero of legend is reborn. maybe an Actual Angel is involved?



Divison between two nations - Vampire/Angel?PC's have to fight an Ice Hydra on the wall of frost.
