About Browsing the Bestiary

Browsing the Bestiary is a podcast that explores the history of iconic creatures in Dungeons and Dragons, the world's most popular TTRPG. Each episode is a deep dive into the origins and evolution of a creature throughout each edition of the game. Podcast hosts Dungeon Mistress Jayde and Lore Master Andy will muse about the inspiration for each creature--historical or otherwise--and discuss various ways a DM can use them in their own games. Each episode concludes with a narrative style scenario that pits a party of sample heroes against the monster of the week.
