  • Heroes Rise two hundred and ninth entry: Full of Ship
    Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise.This is the 209th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, April 30th, and released Wednesday, May 4th over at heroesrisepodcast.com. This week we’re going to wander into the Market of Minauros to see what mysterious and magical items have filtered up for sale. Next we check out some D&D News as we bring you previews of the Spelljammer DM screen, all the details of all the minis WizKids have in store for us, and Wizard’s 2nd attempt at the Kender  Next we take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep and meet our best friend, the flumphs; before finally heading into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say. LinksArcane Secrets of the Summoners The Undying War Dungeon Morphs 4  Community QuestionsSo we’ve got our first semi-official peek at the spelljammer rules. Do you think the ship rules are going to be a lot like the ones from Ghosts of Saltmarsh, or is there room for extra additions we don’t know about?What do you think of the updates to the Dragonlance UA? Have they made the Kender more palatable? Do the knights and the spellcasting backgrounds seem like a better implementation?What about the big picture? Do you think this suggests the plan for the new evolution is to do character creation similar to Pathfinder 2e? Or are they just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks at this point?

  • Heroes Rise two hundred and seventh entry: The More Things Change...
    Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 207th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, April 9th, and released Wednesday, April 13th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.  Ryu's away this week so Lennon and Ostron take a moment to reflect on some older Adventurer's Packs. After all, the more things change, the more they stay the same... Or do they? LinksAnyDiceArcknight Flat Plastic MiniaturesFantasy Name Generator Community QuestionsDo you have a favorite Dragonlance character? Do you have a least favorite Dragonlance character? Why is it Tasselhoff?Jeremy Crawford, in a recent sage advice video, says there are now three interpretations of the rules: Rules as Written, Rules as Intended, and then Rules as Fun. He says the latter means that rules should always be used to enhance the fun at the game, and no one should be maliciously correcting or preventing fun based on the written or “intended” rules. Do you think Rules as Fun is something that needs to be spelled out? Do you think there will be any problematic side effects of the official declaration that “Rules as Fun” are valid?

  • Heroes Rise two hundred and fourth entry: Ruidium-foil Hats
    Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 204th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, March 19th, and released Wednesday, March 23rd over at heroesrisepodcast.com. In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu shows us some nice dice… Nie die? Nices dices? Next we check out some D&D News as we give our first impressions of Critical Roll: Call of the Netherdeep;and speculate on a recent teaser image from Wizards of the Coast With all the talk on Critical Role we thought it’d be a good idea to head into the Archives of Candlekeep for a rerun of Excursion to Exandria; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say. Community QuestionsSo we actually have a setting-focused resource for Critical Role, where it doesn’t tie into the larger D&D multiverse very easily. Do you think this is a testbed for more focused resources down the line, or is it just a trial to see if Critical Role can support itself apart from the rest of D&D?So the secret’s out by now but what did you think of our image analysis and tinfoil hattery? What other conclusions and speculation do you have now that the resource has been revealed?  Heroes Rise are always on the lookout for new team members that have a passion for Dungeons and Dragons.
