  • Heroes Rise one hundred ninety-fourth entry: Ermagerd! Dregernbern!

     Welcome, brave adventurers...

    ... to the one hundred ninety-fourth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, January 1st, and released Wednesday, January 5th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

    In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu … like… wow, she doesn’t even have the hat on. 

     Next we’re taking a Long Rest as we find out if my mother hooked up with a dragon.

    Finally we head over to the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

    Community Questions

    Were you aware of the origins of the dragonborn before our expose? Did you think they were half-breed dragons before? Does this change your opinion about how to play the characters?

    Have you played a particularly memorable dragonborn? Did they follow the rigid, extreme attitudes suggested by the book descriptions, or did you play one that went “against type”? Did that cause them to stand out in your game, or were all dragonborn imagined differently?
