Send us a text

Prepare to embark on a fantastical journey as we welcome the exceptionally imaginative Aetsch Becker, a Dungeons & Dragons devotee, Dungeon Master, and budding author. Known for their charmingly nerdy inclinations, Aetsch gives us an intriguing look into their D&D resources, including their monthly NPC packs on Patreon. Raised in a very sheltered environment, Aetsch discovered their passion for D&D later in life, proving it's never too late to find your people. If you're an artist, you'll be interested to know they're on the hunt for creative minds to collaborate with them.
As we navigate the vibrant landscape of D&D, we unearth the creative opportunities the game provides. Aetsch shares a fascinating story of a player who used a spell to craft a brilliant solution to a challenging scenario. If you've ever considered taking the reins as a Dungeon Master, Aetsch's wisdom will prove invaluable to your journey. We also delve into the daunting yet rewarding world of homebrew D&D campaigns, featuring a lively chat on a Doctor Who-themed campaign!
Our expedition comes to a close as we dissect how to construct a magical realism world, along with a glimpse into Aetsch's storytelling. We uncover the presence of duality in their series and how the structure of D&D and rules-based board games influences their writing. For our fellow Doctor Who fans, we dive into the upcoming season and explore the concept of expanded franchise universes. So, if you're a nerd at heart, eagerly seeking the crossroads of creativity and D&D, this vibrant episode is just for you.
