The bards are back!

In this chaotic and hilarious episode of Class Warfare, the party tackles one of the most metal challenges imaginable—a Battle of the Bands against literal devils in Hell. With each player portraying a different bard subclass from the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons rules, the team must out-perform the reigning devilish champions: the Contract Killers.

🧙 Cast & Characters:

Sergio (Dungeons & Dragons Lorecast) as Kilmeister, a dwarven College of Lore bard with multiversal experience

Lewanika as Dustin Nimblepond, a Valor bard exiled from the Feywild’s magical music scene

Mike as Frederick Quicksilver, a Tiefling College of Glamour bard from Sharn who rides a flying bicycle

Josh as Fintan Quickstep, a Riverdancing halfling College of Dance bard from the Feywild

Michael as Game Master, orchestrating a devilish music competition in the Abyss

🎶 Highlights

Each bard is plucked from their world and summoned to a volcanic arena filled with thousands of demons

The enemy band, the Contract Killers, features a bearded drum devil, a golden fiddle-playing bone devil, a floating skull on vocals, and... Slash

The bards must win over the crowd with music, spells, style, and sabotagePerformance-based mechanics take the place of combat in this skill-based showdown

👀 Watch For

Mechanics of extended skill challenges in D&D 5e

Subtle character drama and banter among flamboyant bards

Thematic use of spells like Dissonant Whispers, Mirror Image, and Command as performance tools

Featuring special guest GM Moe Poplar!

The job was supposed to be clean. Just a swanky 1968 dinner party, a target, and a briefcase. But when the toast ends with a scream and a body hits the floor, our crew is thrown into a desperate scramble through chaos, guards, and psychedelic confusion.

In Part Two of our Blades 68 actual play, the heat gets real. Plans fracture. Identities slip. And our favorite scoundrels prove just how far they're willing to go to finish the score.

💥 What Goes Down:

A political assassination flips the scene.

Meteor Man bluffs as "Dr. Feelgood" to reach the wounded VIP.

Lex weaponizes psychedelic mist to dodge a shadow.

Lute vanishes into disguise and slips upstairs to find the real prize.

The safe is found. It is not friendly.

Liza notices. And now someone’s marked as a thief.

Tensions rise, and the crew splits to survive the fallout.

🎭 Starring:

Moe Poplar as the GM, keeping it slick and savage.

A smooth-talking Slide, a stylish infiltrator, and a chemically courageous grifter.

Guest appearances by shady friends, unspoken rivalries, and too many guards with itchy trigger fingers.
