WotC is Bringing Back 1st Edition, And We Are Tired of Alignments! (01:02:08)
The crew has found some news that actually has them excited! They are bringing back Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition. There is plenty to talk about because the book promises to be over 500 pages with some great little features that will have even the old school fan boy drooling.
Then the cew decides to break down one of systems that seems to have gone by the waysside pondering if it will even make it into the new edition. The alignment system. Some players use it as a crutch while others forget it even exist until the oppurtunity arrises to use one of the most hated phrases in all of DnD; "It is what my character would do!".
Finally, can you conterspell the Wild Magic Surge from Wild Magic Sorcerers? Just because the Pirate Captain's favortie Game Designer says you can does that mean you should be able to? The Crew goes 3 to 1 on this debate and someone walks the plank for it.
Just Give Players What They Want: A Simple Concept WoTC (01:03:30)
We saw it, we called, you're trying to hide it, #WotC, but we aren't going to let it go that easily! On today's episode, we tackle the rumor of Hasbro selling #D&D, how classes just aren't up to snuff in #5thedition or the revamped 2024 PHB, and how outside content and suggestions could be a good thing for the brand as a whole. Is Tencent purchasing the D&D name? Would a Summoner or Alchemist class benefit the game at all? Can suggestions and actual down-to-earth survey results save our beloved game? And what do you guys think about our name!? Seriously, let us know in the comment s below! All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
Using Balders Gate to Fix Bad DnD Classes (01:09:50)
The crew are back at it tryinng to figure out what makes them different from other channels. They are not famous, they aren't Publishers, to really call them a crew might be laughable. They are just players across the table from you. Once they figure that out they decide to take a look at some of the lesser played classes in #dungeonsanddragons and how #baldersgate3 helped them to become relevant. Was it because the classes were always good or is there a factor that only BG3 can pull off. What about having a party without a healer? Is there a way it can be done or is it just a lost cause. A writer put togethera few ways to do this and the crew look to figure out if it would work. Finally is the bell tolling for #wotc? The crew looks at the history of the game and try to decide will it ever recover.

How Hasbro and WotC Failed the Player (01:09:06)
It's a very bloody Orcmas for Hasbro and WotC! Layoffs and longtime content creators both are gone from the D&D sphere and the Crew pours one out while also discussing the trials and tribulations of corporate issues that may be hampering our favorite game. Are there any brightsides to the layoffs at Hasbro? Will JoCat ever return to YouTube? How does the margin of profit affect the product we consume as gamers? Has Mr. Producer bitten off more than he can chew with his Avatar the Last Airbender D&D campaign? And is Bolgg really the bard and Loc has just been pretending!? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
DnD One Barbarian Almost Makes The Cut (01:11:45)
Do not go gentle into those good survey results. Rage. Rage! In this episode of Recipes for Everything, the Crew talks about the newest survey results for the Barbarian and Monk, as well as a topic found in a forum post. Will the new barbarian cause a shift in Bolgg's character sheet? Will the monk finally be able to fight fair? Does a problem with character playing fall on the player or the DM? And will Mr. Producer finally be released from his basement prison?! All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
Replacing Fighters in the New Dungeons and Dragons Edition (01:06:13)
He was just a fleeting dream, that fighter wielding the dead baby nunchucks. With the newest celebration of mediocrity from Wizards we learn that the most interesting concept from the Fighter survey is no more! We again dive deep and talk about the results, the Crew becoming ever more exhausted by the newest edition. Will the replacement for the Bruiser be any good? What other changes are in store before the new books come out? And did Bolgg cook his traditional Thanksgiving feast of Turhalfelfducken!? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
Baldurs Gate 3 Will be Game of the Year (01:03:26)
Astarion approves! With six Golden Joysticks, the Crew has to go back to the Baldur's Gate well once again! Plus, with the new survey results and Marvel and Fallout coming to Magic the Gathering, they talk about how Wizards seems to be ignoring what players want. Can the Hulk and Deadpool be tournament-legal Commanders? How much has the survey results actually amounted to? What can game studios learn from the favorite for the Game of the Year? And does Bolgg remember to make a big announcement at the end of the episode!? All that and more in this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
WotC Panders to the Wrong Crowd (01:07:52)
What do marketing strategies, data analysis, and fireball have in common? They can make an absolute mess of things! In this episode, the Crew tackles a minefield of topics ranging from the newest addition to the D&D lore, the problems with over-selling the inclusive nature of your product, and finally getting on with the live reaction to the latest playtest survey! Do Wizard's strategies hold any weight on what players actually want? Is the introduction of the first canonical autistic character to D&D lore inclusion or merely pandering? And is Loc actually a multiversal entity hellbent on destroying the fabric of reality by endlessly toying with the Pirate Captain's nerves and sanity until he ultimately concocts a method of total rending of space-time and deploys it in an effort to finally rid himself of the nightmares and voices caused by the bard's baleful bickering? Probably not, but at least there's a new episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
Will DnD Bastions Bore You Too? (01:04:30)
There was a big hub-bub about Wizards dropping Penguin Publishing House this week and the guys break down how, for once, this is not a bad move on Wizards. This may even benifit the player depending on how distrobution rolls out. Will the Bastion, player housing, system be an excelent way to spend your downtime or will you forget about it 30 secs in because it offers nothing? What are the upsides to it and how can the warehouse feature of the Bastion be broken with one magical item? All this and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captains Recipe's for Everything!
Wizards Nuked Twin Spell from Orbit (01:08:09)
Has he done it!? Has he become the legendary Super Swashbuckler!? In this episode, the Pirate Captain's fury knows no bounds as the Crew discusses the changes to the Sorcerer in the latest Unearthed Arcana survey. What changes to the Sorcerer are any good? Has Wizards messed with Twin Spell to make it nigh unusable? And will Super Swashbuckler PC be able to defeat the dice tyrant Loc once and for all!? All that and more in this episode of Dragon Ball Z...I mean Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
How to Wield a Baby with the 6th Edition Fighter! (01:00:53)
The playtests continue and now the Crew take a stab at the 2000's with dated jokes! With the Monk and Warlock it's business as usual, as the Crew discusses the changes coming to the classes and how to perhaps fix some of the issues. But when they get to the Fighter, well...let's just say things get a little out of control! What does the Captain think about the changes to the Warlock? Does the Crew have a way to make the 6th edition Monk useful again? And is the title of this episode real and can it be done!? All that and more in this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
What is my Job in DnD? (01:06:40)
No union on this ship, it's time to clock in and get to work, Crew! In our first livestream episode, we get into jobs in D&D 5e and how they relate to the characters players play. Does the background maketh man/elf/tiefling? Is the standard "adventurer" the only job most campaigns have to worry about? Just how did Chef Bolgg become the chef he is today? And is the Pirate Captain actually the bastard son of a noble family, or his he really just a drunken pirate, born-and-bred?! All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
What DM's Can Learn from Baldur's Gate 3 (01:05:40)
By Bhaal's brainwashing bloodlust, it's back to Baldur's Gate! After two weeks with Larian's popular new rpg based around 5e, the Crew reconvene to discuss the game's many strengths and a few of its weaknesses. Players and DMs alike have much to glean from the game's story, mechanics, and even its pitfalls. How do spell combinations make for more tactical players? How does the game inspire DMs to new and greater heights. Why has Bolgg removed every single character's underwear and sold them to children?! All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
Do People Not Like Baulders Gate 3? (01:07:58)
Holy controversy, Bolgg-man! The release of Larian Studios' follow-up to Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 has had glowing praise, but also some interesting detractors. How does the Crew feel about it? Does it pay homage to classics or is it just a critical fail? And what about people that ask for certain roles to be filled in their games? Should two natural 20s with advantage give an extra boon to the player? And has Loc actually worn pants this time?! All that and more on this Episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
How To Destroy the Bard in one Fail Swoop! (01:04:17)
Test...Test Test, is this thing on? How in blazes does he do this. What do you mean we started! The redlight huh.....yarghh guess I should of known.....Tell them about the episode! Fine! But this isn't normally my thing.
In this episode of Chef Bolgg and the most Handsome Pirate Captain Ever the crew trys to go 5 minutes without talking about DnD 5E and we all know how that ends. Wizards has reverted changes to the Bard class to bring it back to its omni powerful self! Hear how we would change the Bard to make it a true support class! Monks will forver be a class no one wants to play, but if they made these changes we suggest it could be great! Finally, what is the best Monster Manual to suppliment the OG Monster Manual. All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Way Better than Loc the Bard Pirate Captin's Recipes for Everything!
Wizards of the Coast Hates You (01:06:29)
The playtest reviews continue, but now the Crew has a bit of a conspiracy to uncover! Does Wizards hate the common player? Are they just getting our feedback for amusement, rather than actual content? Why have they seemingly made the monk worse? Will the Pirate Captain finally tape Loc's mouth shut? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
The New DnD Edition will be called.... (01:01:01)
D&D 2024? More like D&D 2020 BORE! (I'm so sorry) With the new revelations coming from our overlords at Wizards, One D&D is now supposedly "D&D 2024," much to the Crew's chagrin. They hash out their feelings on this name change, what it could mean for the future of book and module releases, and how messy naming could create confusion at the table. They also discuss character building remorse and...wait, BOLGG was a dick in this one!? All that and more in this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
Are Sorcerers the Ultimate Caster in DnD 6E? (00:58:18)
The Player's Handbook playtest reviews continue! The crew talk about the exciting, the underwhelming, and the downright confusing (for Loc and PC. Bolgg is always confused) changes coming to some of our favorite classes! Does Bolgg like the new barbarian, or does he think his recipe book can cook up a better revision? Is the new warlock Pirate Captain approved, or is he going to just drink his disappointment away? Something something something Loc something sorcerer!? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
Was the 2023 DnD Movie That Bad? (01:14:30)
We're back! The crew is here and ready to do the thing once again! This episode, we talk about the D&D movie and how it was and what it could have been, we get into creating encounters and how DMs face a challenge in doing so (special shout out to Gabriel for the question!), and take a look at the Warlock playtest as 6th edition draws ever nearer. Is it as bad as a pact with the devil, or will it be an eldritch blast to play? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
What is a Dump Stat in DnD? (01:03:48)
Guess who's back? Back again? INT dump stat. Less than 10. That's right, the Crew is back from a short hiatus to discuss why Intelligence is the most common dump stat, but why it maybe shouldn't be. Is Charisma better? What about Wisdom, or Strength? Does roleplay or mechanics play a bigger role in the choice? Does player ability interfere with character stats? And does Loc automatically succeed in his Persuasion check to get the Pirate Captain to visit the brothel? All that and more in this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***
We will be taking a bit of time as the Pirate Captain transitions to another port. Stay tuned, we're not going anywhere!
A DnD Comic Book Worth Reading, with Special Guest Shattermare Comics (01:02:34)
Can the Crew prove they're mint condition, flip the page, and live up to the grade when Shattermare Comics are in the building!? On today's episode, we sit down with Brian and Kyle of Shattermare Comics to discuss their flagship series, Hardly Heroes, which is entirely based around a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, as well as a touching legacy of a lost friend. We dive into the creative process, the characters, and how the comic industry and the game we love can combine in interesting ways. We also preview a new comic from them, get into the OGL controversy, and how third party creators large and small can come together. But has Loc even read the comics? Does Bolgg have any idea what's going on? And can the Pirate Captain get an episode without magical darkvision being thrown in his face!? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!

What Players Want from DnD in the Next Year (01:15:22)
We all want something, the Pirate Captain wants the end of Loc the Bard, but will it happen in the new year? If Loc doesn't check his brake cables, it might. We look at features that we would love to see come to DnD, whether it's 5e or the new 6th Edition. Should there be a taunt system, and what can we do to make using weapons better than magic? How about what we would do less with? Maybe bards or that blasted CR system? Hear our thoughts on what DnD needs in the next year here.
Do Clerics Need Religion in DnD? (01:05:37)
Thoughts and prayers be with the Crew on this episode as they delve into the tricky topic of religion in D&D. From clerics to paladins, from warlocks to druids, classes that draw power from divine(?) sources are covered. Do druids have the same religious weight as paladins? Is breaking a paladin's oath have the same level of consequences as a cleric turning from their god? Bolgg, did Yahweh in, or does the Pirate Captain have the listeners in the Psalm of his hand? And is Loc a secret cleric of the god of eroticism!? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
The Best Tank in DnD (01:14:26)
Cometh at me, bretheren! Thine mother wears my old loincloth! How's that for a taunt? What class is the best for tanking in Dungeons and Dragons? Is it the meatshield Barbarian, like Bolgg? The sword and board Fighter? The magic-fueled Paladin? The dodge-heavy Monk? Or will the other classes find a way to unseat these titans of tanking? All that and more on this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything.
Why Your Favorite DnD Class Sucks! (01:16:46)
Exploration. Combat. Roleplaying. Does your favorite class balance these well? How about your least favorite? In today's episode, we tackle all 13 classes and give them the Cesear treatment: thumbs up or thumbs down. Are Artificers worth the extra book? Can Fighters work outside of combat? How are Clerics at roleplaying? (rolepraying...?) And are the Pirate Captain's opinions on damn Bards really the worst class in D&D 5e? All that and more in this episode of Chef Bolgg and the Pirate Captain's Recipes for Everything!
