I Cast Fireball

Join Thomas and Ned for this inaugural episode of our new DM Q&A segment! You've asked your questions about how we handle things behind the DM screen, and we've got answers.

Talking points include: Managing NPCs (stat blocks, spell lists, accents, etc.). Setting DCs in the moment. Balancing the rules with narrative momentum. Speed of character progression. Learning by making mistakes.

In the wake of their chilling encounter up North, each member of the Jhank Squad has some personal business to attend to before they're ready to face Tiamat. Fleeple wrestles with his zeal. Mal leaves behind a sword. Lance says a final goodbye.

The Jhank Squad has just a few moments to get their plans in order before it's time to face off against Arauthator. How are three scrappy sellswords going to defeat a dragon this powerful? Fleeple finds a really cool scroll. Mal opens up about her fears. Lance gives Mal a book.

Our cover is about to get blown! Will the Jhank Squad be able to befriend Maccath the Crimson to avoid a tussle, or will they need to defend themselves against more swarms of kobolds? Lance deliberately scouts ahead. Fleeple makes a new pet. Mal does... something useful, I'm sure.

Down into the iceberg we go! Where is the dragon? We sure don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fleeple digs in some trash. Mal catches a kobold by the toe. Lance rolls statistically improbably well.
