- Heroes Rise, seventh entry: Palatable Kender
Welcome, brave adventurers...
… to the seventh entry into the Heroes Rise chronicle. This episode was recorded on Saturday, 6th January 2018, and made available for download on Wednesday, 10th January 2018 at heroesrisepodcast.com
To start us off this week, Lennon digs in to his Adventurer’s Pack and shows us a website that’s the Swiss Army Knife of generators… in fact, it could probably generate the entire Swiss Army! Then we take a look at some D&D News as we cover:
- The newest videos from D&D Beyond
- Lots of patches for the Beamdog D&D computer games
- Kobold Press’ Creature Codex
- And a couple of other random bits that the copywriter couldn’t be bothered to write bullet points for
After that we take a Short Rest and hear some Wisdom from the Masters on using Weather in your games; before finishing off the show by looking into the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

This Week’s Community Questions
What’s your take on Min-maxing? Are you the type of player that takes pride in the most highly specialised builds, or are you happiest with making a character that feels more real? If you’re a DM, do you welcome the challenge of dealing with min-maxers? Have you ever min-maxed an NPC? No matter your views, we want to hear them!

What were your high and low points? Are there any classes or mechanics that you’re just dying to try out?

About Heroes Rise
From the publisher's feed
We're a show all about D&D. Each week we will bring you our take on the latest news from Wizards of the Coast (and the wider D&D circles), along with advice for players and DMs of all skills…
and abilities, as well as reviews of some of our favourite apps, books and other tools to help you with your games. So, if you’re a brand new player taking your first steps into the world of Dungeons and Dragons and just looking for some helpful advice, or you’ve Dungeon Mastered for so long you can still recite the THAC0 tables without looking, we’re sure to have something for you.
