sidekicksandsidequests@gmail.com (Kurt Crenwelge) — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 08:00:00 -0600

We return to the table of Joseph Anthony and the ART PROMPT GENERATOR! We craft a half-orc/half-dyrad guardian of Nature named Ahta. She runs the Dovecote Cafe in a set of old ruins, brewing coffee and making potions. She could really use a splash of glowing mushrooms to accent the stone walls, and perhaps a NEW PODCAST NPC might be the gal to do it!

As her name suggests, she is a chambermaid in the service of the local lord; she is both abhorred for her ancestry and admired for her loyalty. While she would like aid in retrieving a family heirloom of THE MEDUSA, her appearance has been etched in wanted posters from the nearby town...

We join the table of Brianna Jean and roll the dice to Boris. Taking a departure from medieval fantasy, we create our first space NPC! Boris is a Belare or space angel (being made of energy inside a suit). Captain of his own vessel, his rambunctious offspring wants to go off and be an adventurer. Will the promise of adventure with a ride-along be worth the credits and discounts?

We join the table of Gary Barker and roll the dice to create Jack Splash & Wayne. We RETURN to Fantasyland in an unlikely pair of tax collectors and protection for Freetown in the Underdark: Jack Splash, an albino manticore covered in paint splashes for intimidation and his boss, Wayne, a grimlock with the gift of gab. Each NPC offers you wildly different sidequests with even weirder results, depending on failure or success...

Receiving our inspiration from "The Far Side", we create a dragonborn blacksmith, who some might say is a misanthrope based on their slick nature, but really, they are a lycanthrope. But with a heart forged in the fires of life, Sahara cares for their community and needs your help with fulfilling either possible sidequest they offer.

This gentleman thief has resources, skill, and finesse to pull off daring heists and legendary capers. The fact that your party stumbled upon this mythic moonlighter means that infiltrating the BBEG HQ just got a lot more interesting...

However, he is an educator with enthusiasm for poetry and a past history most intense. Luckily, Professor Hank needs your help protecting some scrolls and books of ancient poets from "rats in a basement"...

Recently, the bard's latest exploit left out a crucial detail: the fate of an animal handler in the employ of a lord and his eccentric petting zoo!

So join this fellowship of faith, as we discuss how the Catholicity of Middle Earth and the Legendarium helped to shape the history and flavor of "The World's Greatest Roleplaying Game".

For our fourth Parleys at the Platter special, I invited Lauren Walsh, Mandi Quin, Britt Anderson, Katherine, and Hank "DnDoodles" to discuss the fundamental elements that make D&D work: Art & Creativity! From the little brown books to the explosion of digital media, the world of art and creativity surrounding D&D continues to grow and expand over these last 50 years. How are we inspired? How can we continue to explore? And what are the technological challenges and ideological pitfalls must we confront like the Tomb of Horrors?
