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.

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...2024-02-031h 03Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for EverythingUsing Balders Gate to Fix Bad DnD Classes
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...2024-01-071h 09Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for EverythingHow Hasbro and WotC Failed the Player
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...2023-12-231h 09Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for EverythingDnD One Barbarian Almost Makes The CutDo not go gentle into those good survey results. Rage. Rage! In this episode of Recipes for Everything, the Crew talks about the newest survey results for the Barbarian and Monk, as well as a topic found in a forum post.

With the newest celebration of mediocrity from Wizards we learn that the most interesting concept from the Fighter survey is no more! We again dive deep and talk about the results, the Crew becoming ever more exhausted by the newest edition. Will the replacement for the Bruiser be any good? What other changes are in store before the new books come out? And did Bolgg cook his traditional Thanksgiving feast of Turhalfelfducken!?

In this episode, the Crew tackles a minefield of topics ranging from the newest addition to the D&D lore, the problems with over-selling the inclusive nature of your product, and finally getting on with the live reaction to the latest playtest survey! Do Wizard's strategies hold any weight on what players actually want? Is the introduction of the first canonical autistic character to D&D lore inclusion or merely pandering? And is Loc actually a multiversal entity hellbent on destroying...2023-10-281h 07Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for EverythingWill DnD Bastions Bore You Too?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.

With the Monk and Warlock it's business as usual, as the Crew discusses the changes coming to the classes and how to perhaps fix some of the issues. But when they get to the Fighter, well...let's just say things get a little out of control! What does the Captain think about the changes to the Warlock?

In our first livestream episode, we get into jobs in D&D 5e and how they relate to the characters players play. Does the background maketh man/elf/tiefling? Is the standard "adventurer" the only job most campaigns have to worry about? Just how did Chef Bolgg become the chef he is today? And is the Pirate Captain actually the bastard son of a noble family, or his he really just a drunken pirate, born-and-bred?!

After two weeks with Larian's popular new rpg based around 5e, the Crew reconvene to discuss the game's many strengths and a few of its weaknesses. Players and DMs alike have much to glean from the game's story, mechanics, and even its pitfalls. How do spell combinations make for more tactical players? How does the game inspire DMs to new and greater heights. Why has Bolgg removed every single character's underwear and sold them to children?!

The release of Larian Studios' follow-up to Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 has had glowing praise, but also some interesting detractors. How does the Crew feel about it? Does it pay homage to classics or is it just a critical fail? And what about people that ask for certain roles to be filled in their games? Should two natural 20s with advantage give an extra boon to the player? And has Loc actually worn pants this time?!

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?
