Dueling GMs 28 - The Good, The Bad, and the Rules as Written

We finally return with a full episode of Dueling GMs and have we got a doozy for you. Today we dive deep into the differences between RAW (Rules as Written), RAI (Rules as Intended) and the Rule of Cool in your TTRPGs. Which do you prefer? When is it important to lean into one over the other? And most importantly, when reading the rules as written, how many things are just plain busted in D&D 5e? Find out now!

Dueling GMs 27 - Twisted Builds #9 (Mobility)
What does a Man-Beast hybrid Wizard/Bladesinger have in common with a Drunken Aviator Monk/Cleric? Find out in today's episode of Dueling GM's: Twisted Builds. This week we wanted to focus on making the most mobile characters we could, and it was intriguing to see the different directions we took to get there.
Everyone's got a unique idea and cool plan for optimizing a TTRPG character build for your DnD 5e games. But what if your parameters were a bit askew? Or what if you wanted to semi-optimize, but flavor it around a specific roleplay concept? Well friends, look no further! We give you "Twisted Builds"! What are Twisted Builds, you ask? We set up 10 simple rules to follow. Listen in on any Twisted Builds episode and get some interesting ideas for new characters down the road. Or, write in and tell us how we did it all wrong! The rules are simple.
Establish a Theme. Declare a Concept. Impose a Twist.
All characters are level 10 using Point-Buy.
All races and classes are acceptable without explanation.
All of Tasha’s Optional Rules can be used.
No Homebrew unless it’s semi-official on DnDBeyond.
Multiclassing is allowed but must follow requirements for Ability Scores.
No magic items unless the class somehow grants them. Any mundane items are allowed.
All Subclasses can only ever be used up to a total of 10 levels. We want to showcase different builds.
Established setting will be within the world we’ve been creating in other Workshops. We’ll continue adding things to the world in future episodes!
These builds are purely for fun and quirky concepts. They may be somewhat optimized, but no guarantees.
That's it! Subscribe, leave a review, and tell all your friends! We'd also love to hear what you think about the show.

Dueling GMs 26 - With Our Powers Combined (Guest Hosts on Collaboration)
Today we're joined by some extra special guests. Many of the contributors to the new hit Dungeons & Dragons 5e supplement, Baba Lysaga's Nocturnes & Nightmares are on the show discussing what it was like to bring such a big project together, how collaboration really makes for incredible projects and final products, and the soft skills needed to work in a collaborative space. The book is just a little over a week old and has already hit Silver Best Seller on DM's Guild, where it can be found for sale.
Listen in and find out if collaboration might be just the ticket to get your feet wet on content creation. Or perhaps you're an industry veteran but have always flown solo projects. Perhaps this will be exactly what you need to encourage you to branch out, tap a few friends, and do a collab yourself.
