The crew has found some news that actually has them excited! They are bringing back Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition. There is plenty to talk about because the book promises to be over 500 pages with some great little features that will have even the old school fan boy drooling. Then the cew decides to break down one of systems that seems to have gone by the waysside pondering if it will even make it into the new edition. The alignment system. Some players use it as a crutch while others forget it even exist until the oppurtunity arrises to use one of the most hated phrases in all of DnD; "It is what my character would do!". Finally, can you conterspell the Wild Magic Surge from Wild Magic Sorcerers? Just because the Pirate Captain's favortie Game Designer says you can does that mean you should be able to? The Crew goes 3 to 1 on this debate and someone walks the plank for it.
We saw it, we called, you're trying to hide it, #WotC, but we aren't going to let it go that easily! On today's episode, we tackle the rumor of Hasbro selling #D&D, how classes just aren't up to snuff in #5thedition or the revamped 2024 PHB, and how outside content and suggestions could be a good thing for the brand as a whole. Is Tencent purchasing the D&D name? Would a Summoner or Alchemist class benefit the game at all? Can suggestions and actual down-to-earth survey results save our beloved game? And what do you guys think about our name!? Seriously, let us know in the comment s below! All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
The crew are back at it tryinng to figure out what makes them different from other channels. They are not famous, they aren't Publishers, to really call them a crew might be laughable. They are just players across the table from you. Once they figure that out they decide to take a look at some of the lesser played classes in #dungeonsanddragons and how #baldersgate3 helped them to become relevant. Was it because the classes were always good or is there a factor that only BG3 can pull off. What about having a party without a healer? Is there a way it can be done or is it just a lost cause. A writer put togethera few ways to do this and the crew look to figure out if it would work. Finally is the bell tolling for #wotc? The crew looks at the history of the game and try to decide will it ever recover. If you found this episode entertaining, enlightening or just down right ridiculous please like and subscribe to the the channel. As always Happy Adventures!
It's a very bloody Orcmas for Hasbro and WotC! Layoffs and longtime content creators both are gone from the D&D sphere and the Crew pours one out while also discussing the trials and tribulations of corporate issues that may be hampering our favorite game. Are there any brightsides to the layoffs at Hasbro? Will JoCat ever return to YouTube? How does the margin of profit affect the product we consume as gamers? Has Mr. Producer bitten off more than he can chew with his Avatar the Last Airbender D&D campaign? And is Bolgg really the bard and Loc has just been pretending!? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
There was a big hub-bub about Wizards dropping Penguin Publishing House this week and the guys break down how, for once, this is not a bad move on Wizards. This may even benifit the player depending on how distrobution rolls out. Will the Bastion, player housing, system be an excelent way to spend your downtime or will you forget about it 30 secs in because it offers nothing? What are the upsides to it and how can the warehouse feature of the Bastion be broken with one magical item? All this and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captains Recipe's for Everything!
Test...Test Test, is this thing on? How in blazes does he do this. What do you mean we started! The redlight huh.....yarghh guess I should of known.....Tell them about the episode! Fine! But this isn't normally my thing.
In this episode of Chef Bolgg and the most Handsome Pirate Captain Ever the crew trys to go 5 minutes without talking about DnD 5E and we all know how that ends. Wizards has reverted changes to the Bard class to bring it back to its omni powerful self! Hear how we would change the Bard to make it a true support class! Monks will forver be a class no one wants to play, but if they made these changes we suggest it could be great! Finally, what is the best Monster Manual to suppliment the OG Monster Manual. All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Way Better than Loc the Bard Pirate Captin's Recipes for Everything!
Guess who's back? Back again? INT dump stat. Less than 10. That's right, the Crew is back from a short hiatus to discuss why Intelligence is the most common dump stat, but why it maybe shouldn't be. Is Charisma better? What about Wisdom, or Strength? Does roleplay or mechanics play a bigger role in the choice? Does player ability interfere with character stats? And does Loc automatically succeed in his Persuasion check to get the Pirate Captain to visit the brothel? All that and more in this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***
We will be taking a bit of time as the Pirate Captain transitions to another port. Stay tuned, we're not going anywhere!
