- Into the Cauldron, Part 1 -- The UA that made it, got nerfed, or got cut
With the release of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, we look back at the UA documents and compare what we have been playtesting with what is now official content. We look at what got changed, some for the better and some for the worse. What got added that wasn't in the playtest material, and some of our favourite things that just didn't make the cut.
This is Part 1 of a special two-part series this week. For maximum enjoyment (unless you prefer leaping around the multiverse like a time traveller) start here, then listen to part 2.

46 min - DM's Workshop: College of the Dirge
This week we return to the DM's Workshop to explore one of our own homebrew subclasses for bard, the College of the Dirge. A bard which turns their bardic inspiration into a curse and draws from the clerical powers of destroying undead. We discuss tips and tricks when designing subclasses, and talk about how to design abilities around a theme.

36 min - Finding the Right Balance for Combat Encounters
This week we look at how to make build a combat encounter that is both challenging, and fun -- deadly, yet winnable. We discuss all the different factors at play, from multi-monster battles to Boss fights. If you want something that is scary, something where the players feel the heat -- while also providing them opportunities to shine -- we've got ideas to help you create a truly "balanced" encounter.
Yet, even with balance, death does happen. And it can be great for the story. We talk a bit about what to do if the fight takes an unexpected twist.

- The Book of Hordes
— The mechanics and monsters presented in this book are meant for use by DMs who wish to introduce larger-scale, grand battles, without the hassle of tracking a score of hit points and turns. Running monsters as hordes allows for faster, more simple turns, without the micro-managing required for fighting a large group of individual monsters.This simplifies the combat two-fold. First, DMs have less things to track, and can focus their attention on the storytelling and world-building.Second, the players no longer have to micro-manage enemy targeting, and are presented with a dynamic and interesting foe, all while not being entirely overwhelmed through sheer numbers in action economy.47 min - P.A.N.D.A.
