The campfire becomes a battlefield.

When a monstrous shadow strikes from the dark, venom and confusion tear through friend and foe alike. Steel clashes where it shouldn't, loyalties blur, and the night fills with the clash of battle and the cries of the wounded.

One searches for the arcane truth behind the creature’s power.

One answers with flashing steel.

And somewhere above it all, one calls down a storm of fury unlike anything Thornhaven Forest has ever seen.

But will lightning be enough to stop the Alpha Manticore?

FInd out now, on Heroic Round.

Until next time, remember to Live Heroic, and if you must Die... Die Historic! 🤘

Join the Heroic Roundtable, a TTRPG recap show where we dive into the deeper side of tabletop storytelling! In this episode, we go beyond the latest episodes to discuss what truly makes a D&D campaign memorable and how to improve your roleplaying.

In this Heroic Round Sidequest Episode we talk about...

📖Retroactive Storytelling & Betrayal: We break down the subtle signs of betrayal in our campaign and discuss how retrospection can change your perspective on past NPC interactions.

👋Collaborative Character Flaws: Discover how "happy accidents"—like a bad dice roll—can evolve into a permanent, character-defining trait through collaboration between the player and the Dungeon Master.

💆Roleplay vs. The Dice: We debate a classic TTRPG dilemma: Should a spectacular roleplaying moment be able to "bend" a low dice roll? We explore the balance between narrative flair and the cold, hard numbers.

📅 The Scheduling Boss Fight: Scheduling is the ultimate party killer. We share practical, high-impact tips on how to keep a consistent table, manage group expectations, and when it might actually be time to "kick" a player for the good of the story.

⚖️Dynamic DM Adjustments: Our Game Master explains how player choices directly reshape upcoming encounters and why the best stories aren't always set in stone.

Whether you're a player looking to deepen your character work or a DM trying to navigate the logistics of a long-term campaign, this episode is full of the insights and banter you need to level up your game.

With Sylva freed and new allies gathered, our heroes close in on the manticore threat plaguing Thornhaven. Mac calls upon his dwarven kin and Lola lifts her hammer and her accordion in defense.

At the Tannery, what should have been counsel around a quiet campfire turns into revelation. Old loyalties fracture as secrets rise with the smoke.

And before the truth can fully settle, the hiss of something far worse cuts through the night.

A monster has come.

Will the party survive the sudden onslaught? And what will Landon do when he learns the depth of the betrayal?

As night descends on Briarberry, L.S. stands accused. The soldiers demand justice for the death of Fowler the stablehand, and a fire is already being built. Garland leads the charge, eager to see L.S. pay.

While L.S. claims self-defense, the truth is tangled—and time is running out.

Can Flavius and Mac sway the crowd before judgment is passed? Can L.S. rescue the two caged “birds” he uncovered in the night? And will Mac’s search for the hidden dwarven speakeasy lead to new allies… or something else entirely?

Step into the Caffeine Keep for a brand-new episode of Juice Wizards, the ultimate Heroic Round side quest! 🧙‍♂️🥤

Before the dice hit the table and the TTRPG adventure begins, Chad, Zach, John, and Brandon gather to perform their sacred pre-battle ritual: binging and rating the most bubbling concoctions from your local convenience store cooler.

In this episode, the wizards face the storm as they dive into four flavors of Reign Storm Clean Energy. Will these "clean" brews provide the magical boost they need, or will the "energy cocktail" aftertaste leave them in a dungeon of despair?

What’s on the Tasting Table:

🍍 Tropical Reign Storm: A citrusy blend of mandarin, grapefruit, and pineapple. Does it hit like a 9th-level spell?

🍓 Guava Strawberry Reign Storm: A pink brew with high expectations. Can it overcome the "medicine" vibes?

🍇 Harvest Grape Reign Storm: A nostalgic scent with a divisive finish. Is it "grapes on the vine" or "toilet cleaner"?

🍋 Citrus Zes Reign Stormt: The final showdown. A Smarty-flavored spark or a generic miss?

Rating System: We rate on a "Spell Scale" from Level 0 (the worst) to Level 9 (the best).

Join the debate, subscribe for more side quests, and let us know in the comments: which energy drink is your go-to before a big campaign?

Do you agree with our ratings? Have a drink you want the Wizards to try? Let us know in the comments below. We explore two Rip It energy drinks and taste and rate them for your enjoyment!
