Heroes Rise

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 Questions

• So 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?

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 203rd entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, March 12th, and released Wednesday, March 16th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ostron would like to have a Word with us

Next we check out some D&D News as we take a look at:

• The latest Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn

After that we head into the Archives of Candlekeep for a primer on the races of Dragonlance; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

Community Questions

• So what is your take on the New Kender? Are the changes a necessary revision, or is this a pointless change that shouldn’t have been done? 
• Regarding the new backgrounds and the subclass, do you think some of the new mechanics are hints at broader changes coming in the next evolution? Or are they changes specifically made to try to fit Dragonlance in 5e?

• How do you set up your tabletops when you’re crawling through dungeons? Do you freeform draw, play room-tetris with tiles, or are you fully building up 3d structures with Dwarven Forge, fish tank scenery, and foam-cut hillsides?

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 201st entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, February 26th, and released Wednesday, March 2nd 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:

• Epic Legacy: Tome of Titans
• Crucible Magazine
• Downtime Center

Next we open up our Quest Logs as Indigo Specter takes us through the Horrors of Hill House

After that we hear some Wisdom of the Masters on Architectural Philosophy and the Five Room Dungeon; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

Community Questions

• Which of the marketplace entries caught your eye? Do you need some level 20 enemies? Are you trying to fill that void left when Dragon Magazine went out of circulation?
• Do you use downtime in your campaigns? What have your characters done with their idle hours? What crises have ensued?

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise!

This is the 200th entry into our chronicle, recorded live at twitch.tv/heroesrisednd on Saturday, February 12th, and released Wednesday, February 16th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu shows us how she handles conflict in games… this can’t be good…

Next we check out some D&D News as we uncover:

• Some details from the Hasbro Earning’s Call and a touch of NFT controversy
• A new line of minis (1, 2) from WizKids partnership with Death Saves
• And some more info on the Dark Souls RPG, this time their take on armor, items, weapons and how this ties in to subclassing

After that we dig up some Unearthed Mundana and discuss Unicorns; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

Community Questions

• How great are we, huh? What was your favorite episode 200 segment?
• What do you make of the NFT rigamarole? Do you think WoTC is actually going to do something with them, or was this just them making sure to legally protect their intellectual property? 
• What do you think about powers associated with equipment and weapons? Would you like to see more of that in 5e, or is it introducing too much complexity and bookkeeping?
