Welcome to THAC0 . . . with Advantage! We’re two friends that have been playing D&D a long time. While we both love lots of other RPGs, D&D is . . . the old neighborhood where we always love visiting and seeing what’s changed.

The city streets are dark and filled with cut throats and pick pockets. Is that man just selling odd tinctures or is he a dragon in disguise. Can you trust your “friend” with the tip you got about the mayor’s husband? All this is to say there are plenty of adventures to be had in the cities of your D&D worlds, be they old or new. Tune in that dial and hear Ang and Jared regale you with the ways your cities can smack your adventuring parties right in the face with adventure.

In the Forgotten Realms, the city of Eltabbar in Thay was built in the shape of a massive glyph that was used to trap the demon lord Eltab, which allow him to be used as a power source by the Red Wizards. Szass Tam tried to perform a ritual to permanently bind Eltab to his control, but he failed, and the city got trashed. Since Szass Tam doesn’t like bad press, this was passed off as a natural earthquake. But it works out in the long run for all of the people that had earthquake insurance but not rampaging demon lord insurance.
