Welcome, brave adventurers... ... to the one hundred eighty-fifth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, October 9th, and released Wednesday, October 13th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

Do you agree with the internet and think it’s a model for how Wizards should be doing releases going forward, or is this just more of the same? So do you think the UA release is finally definitive proof that WotC will be releasing Spelljammer in 5e, or is this yet another red herring that’s just got way more effort than usual? Regardless of the reason for it, what do you think of the actual races in the UA? Are they new and interesting with a few quirks that need to be fixed, or are they overpowered with mechanics or entire entries that need to be scrapped and redone?

Welcome, brave adventurers... ... to the one hundred eighty-fourth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, October 2nd, and released Wednesday, October 6th over at heroesrisepodcast.com. In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ostron shows us the value of eigen. Next we check out some D&D News as we uncover a return to 4th Edition in a set of books for 5th Edition, and what the future holds for D&D. [editor's note: Penguins?] After that we take a Short Rest and dig up some Unearthed Mundana and say “ahoy the house”; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

Or is the 3.5 format the way it should be and fourth should stay buried forever? Do you think Ostron is correct and the “new evolution” is going to be a reprint of the same resources with updated information, or do you think there will be more extensive mechanical changes that will require things like conversion tables? What are your picks for the three legacy settings coming out in the next two years? And Ostron turned the enchantment back on, so that’s going to be bleeped if you suggest it.
