This week, we’re spotlighting Slovenly Trulls! Each month, they dive deep into an aspect of D&D lore or history dating from OD&D to 5th edition. They contextualize each topic to find out where the problematic content really came from so we can better understand our favorite game and learn from its iffy past.

We’re also highlighting Hellwhalers by Game Master Monday! Hellwhalers is a 4-part miniseries where a group of sinners who have passed on and have to deal with the consequences of their actions. The third part is out today, with the last episode dropping next week!

This season of 5 GMs in a Trenchcoat deals with themes of loss, grief, death, abuse of power, colonialism and the consequences thereof, and has content warnings for gore, body horror, bugs, pus, implantation and flesh. Listener discretion is advised.

Support us at our Ko-Fi for extra content and follow us on our Instagram, Threads, Twitter, TikTok and BlueSky! You can also join our Discord to hang out with the 5 GMs and get fun sneak peeks at upcoming projects.
