This week, we go behind the scenes of our just finished two-year Riatan D&D campaign to talk about how the game evolved over the course of the campaign. Matt talks about the pivot he had to make when the party decided to avoid the magical city he'd constructed, instead sending us off on an adventure with undead pirates. We also learn a little more about the stories we didn't explore and the characters we wish we'd seen more of.If you missed any of the play session episodes, you can catch up any time with this podcast playlist: https://soundcloud.com/blizzardwatch/sets/rossis-d-d-spectacular
