Outside the Dice is a D&D informational podcast that offers tips, thoughts and ideas to bring story immersion to the forefront of your gaming sessions.
In this episode I carve right through the Player's Handbook's list of available feats and offer unconventional ways to include those feats into other parts of your story's narrative. I also take advantage of the word play opportunity to joke about feet, and make a Jackie Chan reference, but those are less important.

6 - Is that a Threat
World building is an all encompassing journey with many a-detail to over look, but this episode covers some details you may have not even thought about! Namely, the main threat of your campaign, but more specifically, how it relates to your players characters, the world they reside in, and the thoughts and opinions the local NPC's might have about them.

5 - The Tongue, the Mind and the Heart
Magic and spellcasting: they play a huge role in any fantasy setting, but, while there are pages and pages of how magic works mechanically in D&D, there's not much information on the narrative aspect. Add depth to your campaign by exploring how magic differentiates between classes, spell schools, types of spell focuses and more. Listen to the ramblings of a mad podcast host and hear all about magic in D&D right here!

4 -Setting the Tone
Comparing different methods on solidifying tone in your campaign is what you can expect in this episode of OtD! Whether it's silly and cute or very super surius, hopefully you can find some sparks of inspiration on how to go about setting up that tone. This episode specifically explores the addition of lingering wounds, the length of long and short rests, aesthetic alterations to magic and how many times I can say "or something" in a single episode.
