June 30, 2021 Heroes Rise, one hundred seventy-first entry: Party People
Welcome, brave adventurers... ... to the one hundred seventy-first entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, June 26th, and released Wednesday, June 30th, over at heroesrisepodcast.com. In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ostron takes us on a date. There’s no D&D News this week, so we’re going to be gathering around the firelight for some Dissonant Whispers as we discuss party composition. After that we take a Short Rest and head into the Gnomish Workshop because we need heals, so where’s the … druid?; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

This Week’s Community QuestionsWhat’s your opinion on the so- called “holy trinity” in parties? Is it necessary in some cases, or can it be totally tossed out on a whim?

June 16, 2021Heroes Rise, one hundred sixty-ninth entry: Critical Rolling in College
Welcome, brave adventurers...

... to the one hundred sixty-ninth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, June 12th, and released Wednesday, June 16th, over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu is buying her level ups.

Next we check out some D&D News as we explore Beadle and Grimm’s announcement about special editions for the upcoming books, changes coming in the next season of Critical Role, and the new Unearthed Arcana that might very obviously tie in to an upcoming book release.

This Week’s Community Questions

What do you think of Critical Role’s mini campaign coming up? Do you like the shakeup of DM and cast members, or are you missing the comforting familiarity of Mercer DMing and the usual cast? Five new Strixhaven subclasses to explore! Do you agree with the hosts and find most of them underwhelming? Do you think the Lorehold subclass could be useful for a close combat Warlock? Is the Silverquill subclass “broken?”

Welcome, brave adventurers...
... to the one hundred sixty-eighth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, June 5th, and released Wednesday, June 9th, over at heroesrisepodcast.com.
In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ostron shows us how he keeps finding new toys to play with in the Gnomish workshop.
Next we check out some D&D News as we explore the latest Dev Blog from D&D covering how they approached making D&D scary for the Ravenloft book, and the latest “leaked” information on the upcoming D&D resources.

This Week’s Community Questions
So what’s your explanation for the carnival on the feywild book? Is it a hint of characters and plot hooks that will form the adventure, or is it just a marketing red herring, and it will be replaced with a completely different cover by the time of release.

What goodies do you think will be coming with Strixhaven? Are we getting lots of new spells? If so, which classes will get them? And are they going to address the color conflict of Magic the Gathering, or will it be relegated to the background?

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ostron shows off his new ink. Next we check out some D&D News as we check out the latest hardcover release from Wizards, Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft.
After that we take a Short Rest and head into the Gnomish Workshop to find out what happens when we break an oath; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

This Week’s Community Questions
So what do you think about the latest book from Wizards of Coast? Do we have Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, a well crafted tome of information for running horror based campaigns, or is it Ricky’s Guide to Spooky Town, a conglomeration of everything that might relate to horror but lacking structure or really useful tips that inexperienced DMs can use.
