monster – Red Dice Diaries

Zygoms

In today’s episode we’re discussing the parasitic fungus known as the Zygom.

Wemics

In this Friend or Foe Friday episode Hannah and myself are talking about the centaur-like creatures known as the Wemic.

Devil Swine

In this episode we’re discussing a monster I recently stumbled across whilst flipping through my Old School Essentials Classic Monster book, the Devil Swine.

Obliviax

In this episode we’re cracking open the AD&D 1E Monster Manual II again and–as per the result of our Twitter poll–we’re taking a look at the malign moss known as Obliviax.

Hags

In this episode Hannah is talking about the lazy stereotype that all women over 40 are evil magic-users.

Update 09/03/21: I originally put the title of this as “Harmful Hags” because I like alliteration (give me a Peter Parker or a Bruce Banner any day) and it sounded better than “Why Does John think all Old Women in D&D Games are Hags?”, but a few people–including some rabid internet trolls–have pointed out this was a bit click-baitey so I have changed it. Although I did laugh when someone said that “overly PC” people like me were ruining the hobby, think it’s the first time I’ve ever been called overly PC.
