Dungeons & Debriefing

Aydan is back this week and Jeff and them are reacting to Liz's interview, who plays as Tildy. 

Jeff interviews another one of the players at the table. Kanyon plays Archie, the Warforge Artificer. Please enjoy this insight into another player's experience. 

Aydan is continuing to focus on the high demands of their personal life but will be back behind the mic shortly!

*We had audio issues this episode. Our recording software defaulted to the wrong mic. We apologize!

This week Jeff continues his interviews. This time he interviews his good friend Nick, who plays in the campaign as Sebastian the Dragonborn Barbarian Paladin. 

We're so glad to be doing these interviews and giving you all a chance to meet the other players in the campaign. We know you'll enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoy playing DnD with them. 

Jeff interviews Liz/Tildy for this episdoe. Our first interview with a PC (Player Character) from this campaign. Aydan is a taking a back seat for this, and upcoming, interviews in an effort to focus on their last semester of school. But don't worry, they will be back next week with their thoughts and reflections on this episode. In the meantime, enjoy this insight into the campaign from Tildy's perspective. 

Jeff and Aydan discuss mistakes they've made at the table. Specifically the biggest mistake they feel they have made. The discussion didn't go the way they had initially planned, and we think you'll be pleasantly surprised. 

Jeff and Aydan discuss the challenge of building up roleplay scenes in your head and dealing with the disappointment if they don't go as planned. Part of being a good role player is investing in your character, but that can come with a level of expectation. But there are multiple people and even more factors that go into a scene and that means nothing is certain. Learning to find the balance between investing in your character and roleplay while also being flexible, is not always an easy endeavor. 

Jeff and Aydan wrap up the Ghaulk fight and discuss the aftermath. Who made it out alive, what they plan on doing next, what's happening in the world around them, and where they're headed next. It's the beginning of a new chapter for the Noble Thorns and everyone is a little excited and nervous about it. 

We finally get to start talking about the battle between the Noble Thorns and Ghaulk the Beholder! The team encounters a proper dungeon and eventually find themselves face to face with Ghaulk the Beholder...there are a lot of twists and turns...and not just because its a dungeon! Follow us as the dice begin to tell a story with this much anticipated battle. 

Jeff and Aydan have a vulnerable and, sometimes, challenging conversation about disability respresentation. Not only is it important for them to have representation in-game, they also want to make sure their games are accomodating and respectful for those differently abled. This is a topic that they are passionate about and are sure that it will come up again in future episodes. 

Jeff debriefs Aydan on the session they missed. It includes a bulette fight, that's a large earth shark...not ammunition. They are significantly more dangerous than they sound...or just as dangersous as they sound. What happened, where is the party, and will they survive?
