Dungeon Master's Corner 3

These questions come straight from Pateon and are not edited for spelling or grammar. They are listed in the order they are answered.

 * 1) When will baby Bosnick be getting his first dice? Doing a cameo on the podcast?
 * 2) Do you have a favorite critical success or failure as a DM?
 * 3) What's the craziest thing you, as a DM, made happen when a player rolled a crit fail?
 * 4) I've asked before, but how much of what Morgan and Heath (and to a lesser extent Noah) do is a bit and how much is them actually being That Guy?
 * 5) Do you have plans for if one of the PCs dies?
 * 6) Do you (or the cast themselves) have back-up characters pre-made in case theirs is killed off?
 * 7) What official D&D setting is your favorite/least favorite?
 * 8) I know you set up for it but will we be getting into more of Dave's past?
 * 9) Are you using any home brew rules for ease of use?
 * 10) Do you have a favorite DnD (or DnD-adjacent, like Star Wars KOTOR) video game?
 * 11) Do you ever pull from third party sources like the Kobold Press Creature Codex or Tome of Beasts?
 * 12) How much of each episode is generated on the fly, as opposed to encounters, interactions, and challenges you've already prepared?
 * 13) I love that you work to cultivate the feeing of a real play podcast, but I know that, at the end of the day, you’ve got a show to produce. So, do you have any examples of times you’ve had to choose between the story the dice want to tell, and the story that will make for the best radio?
 * 14) Is it possible to give the reins of a boss/mini-boss to a guest (especially one with little D&D experience) to control and have the team battle them? Depending on their familiarity with the game it could be funny and/or hard.
 * 15) Looking long in to the future, will the stories always be fantasy based, or is there a possibility of doing something in the cyperpunk or other sci-fi arenas?
 * 16) If you were playing D&D with just your friends, without the recording and patreon etc. Would the campaign be different and if so how?
 * 17) How would you roleplay a mind flayer?
 * 18) How far off quest have you gotten, and did you ever just get stuck?
 * 19) Kind of a question and a comment rolled into one. Don't you think you should be making Heath use thac0?
 * 20) Could we make a patreon reward level or goal to have a creation of a table when Heath is being too and typical to the DM he has to roll a d100 and something happens to him?
 * 21) In my eyes, it seems that the gang get more and more "into" d&d as the campaign and characters gets fleshed out. How would you describe the journey of your players?
 * 22) I would like a cock sheath introduced, like something from bad dragon toys. The wearer becomes powerful from the new big dick energy
 * 23) Dave telling the story of his first encounter with an ovipositor would be hilarious.
 * 24) One of my favourite parts of the show is when the players get focused on something stupid but funny (like the whole wrestling section of the last episode). Do you ever think about ways to lean into it?
 * 25) Where should a newbie start? Always wanted to get into D&D but never had friends for it.
 * 26) I know you are already giving us the Chonk episodes, thank you for those btw, but could you also post the party’s character sheets as a Patreon bonus? I know DnD Beyond makes it easy to export character sheets as PDFs and I’d love to see the stats everyone has been using. Also, when building the characters did you have everyone roll for stats, use point buying, or the standard array? And is everyone rolling for hit points when they level up or are they getting a fixed value?
 * 27) What's your favorite class to play?
 * 28) Any chance of Tom and Cecil making an appearance? I would love to hear Tom completely out of his element. I think it would be hilarious
 * 29) Have any of the players done something so out there that you just don't quite know how to recover from it? I.e. Meeting a BBEG and mutilating themselves to install the Hand and Eye of Vecna as an intimidation tack-tick.
 * 30) How do I join you guys as a one shot character drop in?
 * 31) As a DM, how do you develop interesting and engaging scenes and characters without ripping off other material? I have a lot of ideas, but I always feel like I'm just derivatively rehashing stuff that other people have done better.
 * 32) How do you think each cast member would react to a D and D Minus Funko Pop range (similar to Critical Role's)?
 * 33) Has the new addition to your family inspired any changes in how you're crafting the overarching narrative?
 * 34) At what level, can a patron curse a player?
 * 35) Who is the worst to have to edit around in terms of chomping on food, banging stuff on the table, or just making odd noises? What sounds do they make, and how much time do you sink into editing the extraneous noises out?
 * 36) After listening to the first few episodes again I would very much like to hear Anna’s reaction to her new team mates…… approach. Ok in the form of a question: What was Anna’s reaction to the first recording?
 * 37) If you were tasked with renaming Dungeons & Dragons, what would you call the game?
 * 38) Can you decrease the patron amount for the 2/month increase? Pretty please with cherry? (The drink if you were wondering)
 * 39) Critical Role's second campaign recently ended which means there's a snowballs chance in hell that you could have one of the cast on as a guest. If my wish isn't counterspelled please tell us who you'd pick and which character they should bring.
 * 40) D&D materials are always saying that it's okay for DMs to bend the rules as needed based on the needs of the players and campaign. What rules would you suggest that DMs should *not* bend?
 * 41) Now that the Trump Character has been retired from GAM, do you think a new evil GOP character will appear on D&D-?
 * 42) Have you ever had a player develop a character that you just plain didn’t like?  I mean, not that the player was breaking your norms, or that they were playing the character badly… but rather they built a character and they’re roll-playing them perfectly.  But you just don’t like that character?  If so, how do you handle that?
 * 43) I can't remember if I've asked this before, but can we buy Anna's theme music somewhere? Because it makes me happy and I would love to be able to listen to it.
 * 44) What do you do when someone at your table seems to have "main character syndrome"?
 * 45) How do you handle a DM giving blatant favoritism? (Example: one pc got 15 perception checks for every npc he was sneaking past which led to pc death, the favorite got one group roll for 8 npcs, same session, same area, and she ran from a tpk.)
 * 46) Have you thought about using a real/virtual tabletop when you run your game? I find that D&D massively benefits from it, and while the podcast is obviously an audio medium, I’ve definitely noticed times when I think it would have helped the players!  Also, I would absolutely pony up on patreon to watch a screen record of that tabletop alongside the audio!
 * 47) Does your fictional universe has a name ? I'm pretty sure this isn't the Forgotten Realms. 'Cause I would fucking love seeing Dave deal with Thay Wizards. XD How about THEBOW ? THe Eli Bosnick World eh ? eh ? Get it ? I'M SO SMART XD XD XD XD
 * 48) When do you think Heath will obtain the Dagger of Conjure Butter?
 * 49) Can you tell us about the magic items that didn't get described in the first prepisode in Gary's shop? The ones that were chosen are amazing, I must know what we missed!
