Dispel Magic

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Surprise! 5th edition may be in the rearview, but we have one last episode covering it's content. As we aquaint ourselves with the new 2024 rules of D&D, enjoy our exploration of the Kuo-Toa! A somewhat problematically written creature with deceptively far-reaching mechanics. Need a god? They got you covered!   Thank you to our commercial actors this week: Spokesperson...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! What's that? Could it be? Yes yes! An episode! Thank you all for your patience, life gets in the way sometimes but we appreciate each and everyone of you for listening.

We have tips for expanding your home game and dip into the interesting aspects of this new sub-class. And...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! This one may not be widely known, but Druids Grove really packs in the features. Multiple spell effects and four tree buddies? Sign me up! Also we talk about the 90's film Rookie of the Year too much. Thank you to Megan Ratto and T.J. who perform in our commercial this week.

Welcome to Dispel Magic! The long awaited final ep of the season, we cover the Cleric class. Parallels with other classes, inherent nature of Devine magics, and once being a cleric always being a cleric whether you like it or not. We'll see y'all in a couple months! Let us know what you think of the show or if we gave you any ideas for your game, you can reach out on X!   @DispelMagicPod or email:...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! No doubt, this episode will leave you thinkin'. Detect Thoughts may have more applications than just advancing the plot. In fact, it does! Whether its high class Magneto hats or mime assassins', this spell finds it way into all sorts of hijinks.  Let us know what you think of the show or if we gave you any ideas for your game, you can reach out on X!   @DispelMagicPod or e...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! We are joined by Kurt from the podcast Sidekicks and Sidequests. We continue our exploration into morality and the Devine with the spell Hallow. Not just blessing or cursing a peice of land, Hallow may just re-shape how cities are built. Let in what you want, leave the rest out, and maybe a little something extra if you ask nice enough. Let us know what you think of the sh...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! More specifically, The Book of Exalted Deeds and The Book of Vile Darkness, these singular items supposedly hold great power. Sounds like it would impact a game pretty heavily, no? Well, maybe. We take a look at life changing security protocols, whether its moral to rat out your neighbors, and literal Good and Evil particles. Let us know what you think of the show or if we...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! We are joined by the fine folks at Kill Every Monster , Aram Vartian and Dylan Malenfant , to discuss different versions of Detect Evil and Good. Whether its a glorified creature detector or a quick way to read someone's energy for a reiki session, at least the Paladins will be happy. Let us know what you think of the show   or if we gave you any ideas for your game, you c...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! The ubiquitous Mimic. Cornerstone of any dungeon crawl, and potential actual cornerstone in a wall. These sticky, toothy, pseudopoded monsters may have one trick, namely looking like other stuff, but the potential they have is far more nuanced. We talk about colonies, utility, the conservation of mass, and Dane goes deep on adhesives. Let us know what you think of the show...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Don't go changing for us, but do go changing for Polymorph. This spell is a straight up good time but beware! The lines between man and beast further blur when paired with a number of spells we've already covered. We also answer the age old question, can a warehouse be a backpack? Let us know what you think of the show or if we gave you any ideas for your game, you can rea...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Ranger, heal thy self! Well, you'd have to if there aren't doctors anymore. A world with Healing Word would be one of superstition and faith. With the help of Quinn and Alex from A Couple of Characters, we find out that thieves would make the best surgeons and there can be a such a thing as endless hamburgers. Yuck! Find Alex and Quinn here: https://acoupleofcharacterspodc...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Would you believe the spell Sleep would most effect politics?

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Big show this week, and for good reason. Nystul's Magic Aura may be meta-gamey and seemingly pointless, but there's a good reason Benjamin might ban it from all his future games. It's that wild! I choose you, Dispel Magic!  Let us know what you think of the show or if we gave you any ideas for your game, you can reach out on twitter! 🐦 @DispelMagicPod 🐦 or email: dispelm...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! In this super sized ep, we have our first guest, Derrick from How Not to DM and Dragon Talk! We cover Zone of Truth, chosen by Derrick for its interesting existential properties. Yeah, we're getting philosophical in this one. Lotta self reflection. And you know we're bringing that good bureaucratic content!  You can find Derrick and all his links here: https://linktr.ee/hn...

Welcome to Season 3 of Dispel Magic! We're back and we brought the ✨magic✨! This season is going to be full of twists and turns, but for our opener, we start on a firm foundation. Water Breathing can take you places, but mainly to the beach. Can it break a world setting? Yes it can. Partially submerged metropolis', octo-farmers, and a whole heaping helping of kelp is just the start to a deceptiv...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! We have come to the end of another season and we have had so much fun! Thank you all for your responses and comments.

Welcome to Dispel Magic! The Deck of Many Things can be a lot of things to a lot of people. A distraction, a disruption, entertainment, or a plain old plot bomb! In whatever the case, things are going to change when these ivory (?!) cards are in play. Folks could make a career on preparing for such an event. Or perhaps those that make these items start an airship casino to lure mortals to ruin the...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Call Lighting is a battle spell with an array implications. We explore how a setting can change when electricity is as prevalent as it it in D&D. Spell's, monsters, storms, it's everywhere! Of course it would be harnessed in one way or another. Power grids or steam powered city's, we run some numbers to figure it out. And no, we haven't read the Eberron book yet.   Let us...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! The natural progression of the podcast continues. How can you talk about the magic of D&D and not discuss the folks who use magic the most? Wizards throw a lot of things out of whack, but its the particularly potent combo of spells that give us a world where a vast majority of people these particular magic users. Welcome to the wacky wizarding world of wizards!   Let us kn...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Fabricate is what you make of it, to be sure, but what eventually happens when this spell is in the mix is singularly different to all the spell we've done before.    Let us know what you think of the show or if we gave you any ideas for your game, you can reach out on twitter! 🐦 @DispelMagicPod 🐦 or email: dispelmagicpodcast@gmail.com If you want to support us with gp,...

Welcome to Dispel Magic! Lock up your spell slots, we're doing Arcane Lock. Keep things in, keep things out, it does it all. But we wanna talk about giant doors and towns make of chests. Well, Dane does.    Let us know what you think of the show or if we gave you any ideas for your game, you can reach out on twitter! 🐦 @DispelMagicPod 🐦 or email: dispelmagicpodcast@gmail.com If you want to suppo...

So this ep is a little different.  Dane put together a couple commercial skits based on some of the things we've talked about in the show. What would exterminators be like in a world with magic? How does someone change careers? Why can't I find a trustworthy Hedge Mage?  We hope you enjoy this short dive into the world of Dispel Magic!
