Michael Benois aka Merry Manticore joins The Hermit’s Homebrew to discuss Forgotten Foes, a massive Shadowdark RPG bestiary bringing more than 250 classic and overlooked monsters back to the table. We also explore D&D 5e burnout, OSR-style combat, monster design, rival adventurer stat blocks, and why Shadowdark offers a faster, deadlier alternative for tabletop roleplaying games.

In this episode, Nathan and Brent break down the latest Dungeons & Dragons session of their Tales of the Valiant D&D campaign as it takes an unexpected turn; the party leaves the dungeon behind and discovers the surface of Svartalheim, a strange Norse-inspired realm filled with hidden history, uneasy elves and dwarves, caste tension, sacred water, and a city that immediately makes the players feel like outsiders
