  • Heroes Rise, seventy-fourth entry: Salty Sea Dogs

    Welcome, brave adventurers…

    … to the seventy-fourth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Friday May 24th, and released Wednesday May 29th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

    We’re still recovering from the broadside of news from D&D Live 2019 so we’re skipping Adventurer’s Pack again this week. In D&D News we uncover:

    • The latest release, Ghosts of Saltmarsh
    • What D&D Beyond got up to at D&D Live 2019
    • And Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Returns
    • (Also Eberron)

    After that we leaf through our Adventurer’s Journals for some tips on how to prepare for your first ever game of D&D, before finally heading to the Scrying Pool to see what you all have to say.

    Do you have a copy of Ghosts of Saltmarsh? Are you all aboard for adventuring on the high seas?


    What’s your opinion on the Eberron release? Is it nice to finally see a hardcover book coming out, or is this a poor cover for Wizards’ efforts to shuffle it off to the pile containing Dark Sun, Midnight and Spelljammer?

  • Heroes Rise, seventy-third entry: Descent Into Madness

    Welcome, brave adventurers…

    … to the seventy-third entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday May 18th, and released Wednesday May 22nd over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

    This week we’re foregoing Adventurer’s Pack because D&D live is flooding us with news. So far, we have:

    • New Rick and Morty D&D tie-in content
    • An expansion to the dungeon mayhem card game
    • New young adventurer’s guides
    • The new D&D Essentials starter expansion
    • And the new adventure module: Baldur’s gate – Descent into Avernus

    After that, I’m going to do my best to avoid the Gnomish Workshop, because I suspect certain people want to finish off a discussion on Critical Hitting, but I’ll be over in the Scrying Pool to see what you all have to say.

    What do you think about the admission price for D&D Live? Does it make sense given the swag and events, or is this drastically overpriced?


    What’s your approach to boxed text in adventures? Read the whole thing, paraphrase, or just ignore it and make up your own descriptions?


    And what’s your approach if you’re sneaking into a location or when you want to create a stealthy scenario? Do you have go-to modifications and tricks you employ to make a stealth run possible?
