Hey Alchemeanies! Time to try to make Episode 11 again! (Our last one died).

Once again join Danny (myself), Aaron and Erin as we all bring a topic each to the table before jumping into our main topic. This week we discuss the different ways we portray magic in D&D and other roleplaying games while also touching topics like revival magic and spell components.

Topic initiative order: Aaron (17), Erin (15) and Danny (14).

Topic 1: Dungeons and Dragons Board Games. Aaron talks about two upcoming D&D themed board games by 'WizKids'. A city building game set in Baldur's Gate called 'Builders of Baldur's Gate' (available to pre-order HERE) and a map building card game set within Faerun called 'Edge of the Realms' (available to pre-order HERE)

Topic 2: Dicey Decisions. Another fun Kickstarter project! Erin brings us Dicey Decisions, an RPG themed board game about having 1v1 battles in the sandpit! Dicey Decisions is available to back on Kickstarter HERE.

Topic 3: The Gorilla of Destiny. Danny forces everyone to listen to him talk about his new hyper fixation, a set of PDFs that he discovered by The Gorilla of Destiny! These PDFs try to explain D&D magic with science! How does magic work? How would you build an arcane circuit? How do you write spells? All these questions and more are discussed by The Gorilla of Destiny in these set of PDFs available to purchase on DriveThuRPG right HERE.
