Support the show
Our adventure has now ended, and we've hung up our robe and wizard hats to enjoy our retirement on the Sword Coast, running a tavern where a fresh band of adventurers may meet and start quests of their own. We're still around on Discord, and you should come and join the Heroes Rise community at http://discord.heroesrisepodcast.com

A special thanks to Vindsvept for making the awesome music you hear throughout the show, be sure to check him out at vindsvept.bandcamp.com; and a special thanks to the designer of our banners and avatars, Lo of Lo’s Lair — you can find him on X @Los_Lair and on Facebook at facebook.com/LosLair

July 28, 2021 Heroes Rise, one hundred seventy-fifth entry: Tinfoil Reborn
Welcome, brave adventurers... ... to the one hundred seventy-fifth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, July 24th, and released Wednesday, July 28th, over at heroesrisepodcast.com. In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu shows us some teeny, tiny paints. Wait, that says mini paints. Never mind. Next we check out some D&D News as we uncover Beadle & Gimm’s The Wild Beyond The Witchlight editions, the latest Critical Role sourcebook from Darrington Press: Tal’dorei Reborn and the latest Magic: The Gathering adventures, A Verdant Tomb and Deepest Night. After that we take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep to find out why Thay is not your color; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

So do you think D&D Live is still a relevant series of shows and announcements that help people stay in touch with what’s coming up for the hobby, or has it lost its focus and isn’t covering what it needs to?

They said they’re covering “secret projects” during the show. What are you hoping they’ll talk about? Or do you think this is just a smokescreen for more info about the books that are coming?

Do any of those other gaming groups sound like they’ll be interesting? Are you planning to sit in at any of the tables?
