I decided to stick both episodes together, just for this time, and since they were both Christmas Specials.
DM-Nastics 21: Cryptozoic Christmas: Great DM-Nastics (and enjoyed the intro music). The Jersey Devil sounds terrifying and is worth putting into any type of campaign a touch of horror always seems to add something to a story.
Story Time: How the Lich Stole Christmas: Hats off to the story time. I would really like to see a player with child stats knock down a lich. The blood of the Riders must be very strong indeed...
Thanks for the Christmas episodes, certainly worth it.

Thanks for the Christmas episodes, certainly worth it. A child would have a higher Dex and would be a smaller target to hit, also providing a bonus to AC. I've got a RPG called Grimm (fantasy Flight Games) which is about kids fighting in a fantasy world of fairy tales with an evil twist (for example Rapunzel is an empty husk drained and now animated by swarms of spiders luring men in for them to feed upon), it's a D20 system and is quite interesting. I'd love to do a campaign where you start off as children and then after a few levels you become adults and start taking normal class levels, but have the child levels provide you with some form of small bonus to your character. |

Yeah, I think a kid campaign could be really cool, and fun to play. I thought about it, but don't think I mentioned it in the podcast, Super 8 would be a great example for inspiration for setting a game up. There are other examples for sure, but that one stands out to me, and kids that are a little younger than the typical early high school/anime moment of awesome, haha. Recording these were a ton of fun as the seasonal ones typically are.

Recording these were a ton of fun as the seasonal ones typically are. Speaking of kid campaigns, I finally got around to reading The Sundering books. And the first book: The Companions by R.A. Salvatore had what could be a fun idea for a kid campaign. The book starts with several characters who had previously died (non of whom I recognized) in battle being reborn into the bodies of infants. The characters grow up as children amongst other children, but they have the minds of old battle-tested warriors. It could create some interesting Roleplaying and gives the players a good reason to be children who can do unchild-like battles or puzzles. |

I am over half way done with it and have enjoyed the premis to it. Glad you didn't spoil the ending of it in this thread!  |

Honestly, I haven't finished it either, a little over half way done with it myself. It also is the first book by R.A. Salvatore I have read to date. And, although I will always prefer Warhammer lore to Forgotten Realms, I've enjoyed the world and (especially) the characters. This probably should not have been the first F.R. book to read, there is a lot of information flying around and to me all of it is new. |

I couldn't find the episode 57 A Very DMB Christmas, so I guess I'll put it here. The song at the end was an absolute riot. The dulcet tones of the Dungeon Masters and the mangled lyrics to a holiday classic absolutely had me snorting in laughter. Very well done, thanks guys!

Pretty sure it was Christmas episode (Been listening to 10/day lately to catchup)
The players mentioned Gog the Destroyer (Half fire giant?) and Uther Greypaw (Bearfolk)
these guys sounded awesome! would love to hear alot more of their misadventures!
Never done a christmas themed adventure, but if you are interested in twists on the christmas theme, read Hogfather by Terry Pratchett.
