This week on Builds Character Ian is building his favorite bass player Mark Hoppus! Mark is one of the founding members of Blink-182 and has been playing in the band for over 20 years. Blink has recently put out their Ninth Studio album titled Nine. The album is their second with new guitarist and singer Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio. Mark is currently underling going Chemo Therapy for Cancer and we wish him a quick and healthy recovery.

Hello! Welcome to my summer series I'm calling, Builds Character! Each week I'll build a D&D character based on a fictional, historic, or famous person!

For my first epsiode I chose The Narrator aka Jack for Fight Club!

Check out the episode and let me know what you think

I also found this video interesting while doing my Fight Club research.

Campaign 2 draws to a close!

Who lives? Who Dies? What happens to our lovable group of misfits that have been thrust into this adventuring life!? 

Thank you so much for joining us on this adventure through 2 seasons.

We are going to be taking a break before jumping into Campaign 3. In the meantime Ian will be brining you a summer series he's calling "Builds Character." 

Still aboard a severely damaged Sky Ship, the group needs to figure out the next move to make!

As the crew recovers from last night, their morning coffee is disturbed by a loud screech of a Wyvern. 

Roll initiative!

The group boards an airship and departs from the Death's End. Miriam helps to pass the time with some very interesting cocktails. Roy and Bishop square off to "Just Punch" each other, and Tori does drugs.

This weeks episode we walk through some of the level up process. You know those scenes in Marvel movies where the heroes are building new things, trying out new suits, or just working out a bunch, that's what we're doing in this one.

Each character gains a minimum of 2 levels and has a chance to gain an extra one based on some dice rolls!

After the group has been teleported out of danger, they arrive in a strange, cave, tavern, cavern? 

Lots of questions and answers and backstory in this one!

After escaping the canal, the group is then faced with a series of morally grey questions. Are they going to force Ted, the child, to come with them? Do they trust Jk'Erouack and help him escape?

The group stands outside the orphanage, Jk'Erouack having just cast locate object. They are draw instead towards a library. Inside, Miriam thinks she sees an old friend, Roy struggles with a lock and key, Tori threatens a child, and Bishop is annoyed by his party members.
